Inauguration Day HISTORY / HOPE
Inauguration Day

There is nothing more important to do today than act like a citizen of the motherfucking United States of America as it celebrates the swearing in of its first African-American president. All the rest is politics, but this—this is history of the best kind. Redemptive, regenerative, resoundingly good. Many of your civic-minded friends are holding inauguration-watch parties (sadly, The Stranger's is already sold out), including two free ones at Town Hall and the Paramount. Because sometimes, freedom is free. (Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave, 652-4255, doors at 8:30 am; Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St, 467-5510, doors at 7 am.)

Yes we can!

It was great watching it at the Spitfire with friends and colleagues and welcoming in a new science and hope based Administration!

Can we set a time when we can start criticizing Obama without being called a racist?

How about tomorrow at 8 am? Ok? Great...

Spitfire was free and coffee was only $2.

But it was packed.
