Inauguration Aggregation

Just as we suspected: MTV will broadcast live from Obama's Youth Inaugural Ball on January 20. Sources tell us that the music channel's original plans to host a ball were scrapped after extended road closures on Inauguration Day made setting up for the event nearly impossible.

Inauguration organizers did a dry run of the swearing-in and Inaugural Parade over the weekend. Did you catch any of the action?

Here are some Flickr photos of the wares at the official inaugural memorabilia store, which opened up over the weekend at 625 E Street, Northwest.

This year will be Charlie Brotman's fourteenth as Inaugural Parade announcer.
