We’re happy for our fellow Nashvillians who were able to make the trip to D.C. to witness history, but we don’t envy them their standing outside in the frigid air and, in the Twitter of one Tennessee State Senator, “Wearing so many layers that, within the margin of error, I have zero range of motion.” Brrrrrrrrrrr.
If you are in D.C. and need info about tomorrow’s Swearing In Ceremony, you can go to the official Presidential Inauguration Committee website. If you’re still in Nashville and are looking for a front row seat to the festivities, head on down to the Belcourt Theatre where they’ll be showing the event on the big screen.
Nashville for All of Us, a coalition of over 70 local organizations working together to defeat the English-only Amendment, is hosting the free event, which will begin at 9:00 am Central Standard Time when Inauguration festivities start on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. A live video feed will run until Noon, when President Obama completes his Inaugural Address.
Again, there is no admission fee, but to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and today’s National Day of Community Service, guests are asked to bring a children’s book (new or gently used) for a book drive for Book’em and the Pencil Foundation, or donate to the Visitation Hospital Foundation, a Nashville charity that runs a hospital in Haiti.
The Belcourt concessions will be open for business and guests can purchase food and refreshments.
The broadcast should include all of tomorrow’s regularly scheduled events.
