Destination D.C.

The official Presidential Inauguration Committee Web site is up and running, although there’s not a whole lot of information to be had just yet.
This committee is in charge organizing the events surrounding the inaugural, such as the parade and many of the lavish balls that are held.
A schedule of events is forthcoming, but the Web site already includes links for those interested in volunteering for the occasion, as well as a link for anyone interested in temporary jobs.
The Web site also notes that tickets are free to the public and distributed through members of Congress. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies already has taken steps to warn the public about scams related to the inauguration tickets, with a message at it’s Web site:
“The public should also be aware that no website or other ticket outlet actually has inaugural swearing-in tickets to sell, regardless of what they may claim.”
In other words, don’t buy any sort of ticket from a broker or scalper.
If you are intrested in tickets, contact the office of one of Hawaii’s four members of Congress:
