Anyone booked a hotel room for Hillary's inauguration yet? Not many rooms below $1k/night left

Better do it quick if you want to go.

1. Would love to be there to see Madam President break that glass ceiling.

2. If Bernie wins, can I have your room?

3. IN 2012, I stayed with a friend in exchange for inauguration tix

4. I have an invitation already

to come to DC for it. Don't need a hotel room. Was at Obama's. Wonderful experience.

But if it's Hillary Clinton or tRump I'll stay home and light candles for the country instead.

5. Do you figure $1k/night into our $250k/yr salary budget for a middle class family?

[hill2016]

9. no it comes out of

discretionary expenses.

[JonLeibowitz]

12. LOL

16. I know girls

who spend thousands on shoes. It's all a matter of what you're spending your money on.

19. No, tone-deaf-on-purpose, it comes down to paying your phone bill or electric bill this month.

It comes

6. I would not open my front door to see Hillary.

22. This.

7. The supply may increase

If HRC wins and is not otherwise derailed,

I expect services all the way from Air B&B to mom and pops to unroll the sleep sofa in their spare room(s).

10. driving around during a Presidential inauguration

is impossible.

It's a pain to walk all around. Been there, done that.

Much better to stay somewhere closer.

8. What are the dates?

[nitpicker]

11. 20th Jan

At least since 1936.

[DanTex]

15. Thanks, didn't know that. Yeah, the hotels are mostly booked, I guess not surprising.

[JonathanRackham]

13. I'll camp on the mall.

Money better spent donating to homeless shelters.

[nitpicker]

17. Oh no you can't.

You will be subject to Scrutiny.

Have you seen the fencing for the cherry bloosoms?

Amp that up plus sniffer dogs and pat-downs for the inaugural.

((40 years they let people drag sofas onto the Mall for the bicentennial. Now it's a no-fun zone.))

[JonathanRackham]

18. Another by product of the police state.

Thank you NSA, thank you Dick Cheney.

[Betty Karlson]

14. There is a saying about counting chickens before they are hatched.

I still believe the inauguration will be that of President Sanders.

[nichomachus]

20. If you pay $2K a night, you don't have to go.

Can't think of a worse way to spend a cold January day.

21. I'll bet that people living in the DC area could rent rooms in their home ...

... and add a little extra to their Christmas fund.

If not individual rooms, they could probably rent the entire house! (Although, that would make me very nervous ... but apparently people do it and make money at it.)
