At approximately 9:20 a.m. Mountain Time tomorrow morning, I will be boarding a commercial jetliner bound for Washington’s Dulles airport. My final destination, however, is the eastern end of the Mall in our nation’s capital, which I should be reaching sometime Tuesday morning ceremony ticket in hand.

I’m absolutely certain this rather expensive trip will be memorable — though I’m not wholly convinced those memories will be fond, given the crush of humanity and security I’ll be dealing with while there. I have a pretty full agenda from arrival to departure: staying with a friend (and sort-of-ex-coworker) Sunday night playing Wii; picking up my two “silver” tickets from Sen. Udall’s office; meeting up with old high school, college, and graduate school friends; attending the Netroots Nation “Yes We Can” party; introducing myself in person to a potential, deep-pocketed client; biking across the Potomac to the Jefferson memorial on Tuesday.

Stay tuned to this space to follow my exploits. You may learn whether it’s possible to trade or sell a spare ceremony ticket; you may vicariously experience what it’s like to bike through an urban area swarming with tourists in 15-degree weather; you may see photos of the swearing-in of Barack Hussein Obama taken with my brand-new Nikon 70-300mm VR lens. Or you may discover that I’m far too busy running around Washington to actually post anything.

Wish me luck!
