Doors opened at 8:00. Participants had an eight hour day.

The line on H Street was long, overseen by multiple law enforcement folk.

whither goest thou jumbotron?

In DC hoping to take pictures at the National Mall gathering for the Inauguration Monday. Last here in 2009. I thought I’d snap photos of citizens viewing live. However news reports say the Jumbotrons are being taken down.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies is of little help. Will people do like they do everything nowadays, watch on their phones?
