Sunday, January 18, 2009 Bacon Cheeseburgers & Getting There
Today was a day loaded with questions. How is Music Fog going to get
to the Black Tie & Boots media check in? How do we plan a moving
through "Obama gridlock" in DC tomorrow? Are we
hungry? Yes! So let’s not worry about getting around, and go to Five
Guys! Yeah, that’s what we’ll do. When we get there (if we get
there), we get there.
So we had the bacon cheeseburgers at Five Guys and made our way to the Gaylord Resort & Convention Center. It's an emerald city in the middle of oblivion, just south of DC on the Potomac River. The place just opened about six months ago, and it’s enormous...the utility bill is half a mil each month.
Anyway, this is going to be a huge party. Six ballrooms, seven stages, and "Texas Fair” shop-o-rama one floor below. We'll cover every living inch of this titanic inaugural ball. We really hope to relay the utter size of this event...if we make it back there tomorrow night.
