Bipartsain Window
Pre-inaugural MLK day festivities continued on a smaller scale: helped Mark’s son, Chris, pick up his tux for the GW Inaugural Ball at the Men’s Warehouse 2 blocks from the White House. Holy Senior Prom, Batman! Lines of formal wear renters lined up like ladies in the powder room at a ballet Intermission. Soon, on the campus, my alma mater, we were accosted by bipartisian art: the donkey and elephant peacefully existing. — and colorful, to boot!
Frank and Megan
We met up with “Bond, Frank Bond,” a pal from my DC days, former anchor and current “mayor” of the Newseum for a little libation. He and his best producer, Megan, met up with us for some brews and burgers to escape the literal wall-to-wall coverage; they are really spending a Night at the Newseum. All personnel are donning jammies to overnight in the Pennsylvania facility to deal with the madding crowd for Tuesday’s parade. Go Frank! Go Megan!
The city is in full regalia for tomorrow’s Obama-palooza, even the Metro, which we braved later in the chilly evening. Many banners adorn the kiosks and stairways with the O’s replaced by the campaign logo.
