What to Wear - What to Bring

Packing for the Inauguration is not an easy task.

Consider the challenge:

* Standing outside for 4 to 6 hours - in the cold on Inauguration Day.
* Traveling to a Black Tie/Fancy Gown Ball - on the Metro.
* Parties that require fancy clothes and yet comfortable shoes.
* 4 Receptions on Tuesday - Starting at 10 and Ending at Midnight, without a trip back to the hotel.
* Taking my technology - including cold weather headset to "broadcast" from the steps of the Inaugural Swearing In.

And, I even ordered an electric heated vest - until I realized that going to a security area wearing a vest with wires and a large honking battery is not the smartest thing.

So, we are going to balance looking nice with feeling comfortable (and where possible - warm)

Sensible shoes are in.

Any suggestions? Leave a few comments
