The day started at 5:30 am…getting up, braving the crowds at the Metro. We were forced to walk down the 3rd street tunnel (this is the on-ramp to interstate I-395) to get to the gate for entrance into the ticketed area. This is a video of the crowd in the tunnel…pumped up for Obama.
Random crowd shot. It was pretty packed trying to get to our seats. This is before we got to the ticketed area.
Me and Rob in our “seats” before the swearing-in ceremony. Many hours already in the cold…many more to go before Obama came on the scene. The crowd was still filling in.
This is the crowd in our section spontaneously breaking into the “Yes We Can!” chant!!!
