Obama Inauguration Viewing Events?

Obama Inauguration Viewing Events?

I originally planned to attend the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, DC, USA on January 20, 2009. Now that my plans have change and I am here in Thailand for several months, I will only be able to attend via Television.

Are there any planned viewing parties or gatherings?

Some of my colleagues are here from the U.S. and would like to get together to watch the swearing in ceremony; have drinks, snacks and conversation. I am willing to host a few people at my place if there are no other scheduled events to attend.

What a celebration for the rest of the world to see the back of that idiot Bush. Let's hope that Obama can build up all the respect that has been lost throughout the world over the last disastrous eight years.

DAT Announces Obama-Biden Inauguration Party -- evening of January 20 - and more DAT activities
Dear DAT members,

Seasons greetings to you all! Here is wishing that you spend many hours and days over the holiday
season with friends and family.

First of all, save the date -- January 20, 2009! DAT in Bangkok is already planning for the New Year as well,
and the biggest first event we will have is an Inauguration Celebration Party, to watch live the Inauguration
of Barack Obama and Joe Biden as our new President and Vice-President!

DAT will be gathering at the Roadhouse Barbecue (map at www.roadhousebarbecue.com (http://www.roadhousebarbecue.com)) from 8:30 p.m.
onwards on the night of Tuesday, January 20, 2009.

The Inauguration Ceremony will take place between 10 and 12 p.m. (Bangkok time), but there will be plenty of coverage, parades and other events leading up the formal ceremony -- so come on down and enjoy this historic occassion in the company of friendly fellow Democrats! DAT will also be encouraging members to send
their best wishes and sign the two white DAT t-shirts that we will be sending to President Obama and
Vice-President Biden at the White House -- let them know that the Americans in Thailand are sending
all best wishes in their mission to restore our country's international standing in these dire times in the world!

DAT will have our t-shirts available, and there are plans for a special inauguration coffee mug too!
More details will be forthcoming on all of this, including possible Inauguration Parties organized
in the provinces too.
