News of venue competition in the run-up to the presidential inauguration proves once again that it always comes down to location. Booking the most suitable digs usually takes precedence for most events, but just finding a place at all seems to be the biggest issue for the 2009 inauguration and the long weekend that precedes it.
While some are scrambling to find a home, others who have already booked a space are breathing easy, and even more wait for word from the Presidential Inauguration Committee regarding which parties will earn a coveted visit from the new president himself. Here’s a look at some of the bigger spaces the capital has to offer, and what we might see there come January 20.
