1. State of the Union Address
The president’s big annual speech is the only time the entire federal government gathers in one place. Although a new president’s first-year address to Congress bears all the trappings of this gathering, it’s technically not considered one, so President Obama’s first official State of the Union takes place January 2010.

2. White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner
Comedian Wanda Sykes hosted this May 9 event, traditionally attended by the president along with some 2,000 politicians, journalists, and celebrities. Dinner at the Washington Hilton is preceded by a maze of pre-parties hosted by media outlets. For the first time, Bloomberg and Vanity Fair co-hosted an after-party this year.

3. Gridiron Club Black-Tie Dinner
President Obama bucked tradition in March, skipping this 125-year-old event in favor of a family vacation. The 600-plus guests at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel consoled themselves with barbs from Vice President Joe Biden and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. MORE >>

Obama and Biden to Attend Youth-Focused and Regional Balls

After weeks of speculation, the Presidential Inauguration Committee announced today the full slate of official inaugural balls President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden plan to attend on January 20. The duo is set to make pit stops at 10 balls throughout the night, the most noteworthy being the Youth Inaugural Ball held at the Washington Hilton. Created for young Americans 18 to 35 years old, the ball is the first of its kind, with tickets costing just $75. “Young people are more engaged in this country’s future than ever before, and we want to harness that excitement by inviting them to participate in this historic occasion," Presidential Inaugural Committee executive director Emmett S. Beliveau said in a press release. MORE >>

"One Big Mess": Obama Rally Could Draw More Than a Million

FROM CHICAGO There's one day to go before Obama's election night rally in Grant Park. And according to Friday's Crain's Chicago Business, there's one thing city officials are betting on: The downtown area is "going to be one big mess."

Though admittance to Hutchinson Field will be limited to roughly 70,000 ticket holders, some reps for the city estimate that more than a million people will flock to Grant Park and surrounding areas. Not that they'll all be welcomed. Despite Mayor Richard Daley's statement in The Chicago Sun-Times on Thursday that "no way I'm gonna tell people they should not come down and celebrate ... you cannot make [the rally] just an exclusive party for a few," Ray Orozco, executive director of Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, told Crain's: "If Grant Park reaches capacity, people will be turned around. This is for public safety." MORE >>
