Inauguration Ball Fever

Here in Washington D.C. the fever, jockeying and planning for the inauguration is in full flight. People are renting out their apartments for as much as $6000 for a two bedroom for five days, reports the Washington Post. If you do not already have a hotel room, then your best bet is Baltimore.

Going to one of the Balls is still possible, but you are looking at a minimum of $500. Estimates are that upwards of 400,000 people will descend on the city for the festivities. It is going to be New Year's Eve all over again.
