inauguration

breadandroses and I went to watch MSNBC coverage of the inauguration at a local movie theater.

We were prepared for there to be a mob, but there were probably only about a dozen people in the theater. The people that were there, though, were very vocal and enthusiastic, so we all had a good time. As on election night, there were people taking pictures of the screen with their cell phones, and (I think) texting others for different reports. There were great cheers when MSNBC cut to moving vans at the White House, and when Executive One lifted off. Also, everyone stood for the oath of office, and I was reminded of the scene in the movie of 84 Charing Cross Road when the Doels and their neighbors are watching the coronation of Elizabeth II, and they all stand up in the sitting room when "God Save The Queen" plays.
