Since the temperature has been hovering around a RIDICULOUS 10 DEGREES lately, I was going to be a wuss and skip the concert. Luckily, though, Steph and Rachel convinced me to suck it up, put on 6 layers, pack a granola bar, and trek out to the mall for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Famous people that I was really excited to see:
- KAL PENN. It's kind of embarrassing that I was most excited to see him, but I love him beyond compare.
- Beyoncé. Although I have one complaint: I know this was supposed to be strictly patriotic, but would it have killed her to break out into "Single Ladies" at the end???
- Shakira
- Denzel Washington. Badass.
- Bruce Springsteen
- Bono. I felt like a better, more-likely-to-save-Africa person in his presence.
- Sheryl Crow
- and, of course, my man Barack Obama, whose voice I never get tired of listening to. Seriously. Is that creepy?
Best parts about the day:
- overpriced hot chocolate that kept us warm
- three-way spooning that also kept us warm
- riding the metro back without getting trampled
Worst parts about the day:
- potential frostbite (I was really afraid that my toes would fall off)
- the VERY obnoxious tweens who were standing in front of us
- spending way too much money on hot dogs
- hearing the name "Lincoln" 3746586 times (Tom Hanks, I'm talking to you)
Stay tuned for reports of our adventures on the mall on Inauguration Day!

I'm so jealous of the fantastic inauguration stuff you all get to experience. You have to tell me how tomorrow goes.
