There are many different inaugurations.

The considerations as far as attire and expectations all depend on which one you’re going to and with who.

Pay cash for everything and get a faraday bag for your phone.

Don’t go anywhere you’re not supposed to. Leave you cell phone behind. Maybe wear a mask.?

Be sure to scream at the sky.

I hear it’s a thing.

Congratulations!

where to stay


The Willard Intercontinental is a favorite. Walkable to a lot of stuff. Awesome little bar/restaurant on the lower floor.

what to expect


Never been in DC during an inauguration, but I'd say it will be hard as hell to get around, even on public transportation. Expect to walk. A lot.

The best ethnic food in the US is in DC. They have it all.

If a bigger older dude with a Texas accent says storm the building or stage tell him to frick off.

If you see Eric Barron, bitch slap her.

Skip the inauguration, go get in front of Trumps hotel and watch and listen to the ceremony on the big screen.

Trump will get out and walk a few hundred yards in front of the Old Post Hotel and if you are on the front row chances are you will get a handshake

Stay across the river in Crystal City or in Old Town near the Metro stop. Much easier transportation as getting around the District is tough on Inauguration Day. Metro is easy to use and the fastest way to get around. Purchase a pass or a Metro Card.

You might need to change your plane ticket to NY because Trump’s inauguration might be from Riker’s Island lol

If you like pipe bombs, don’t leave them lying around unattended up there.
