Inaugural ball - what they don't tell you.



I was a bit naive but I assumed that a ball would be a formal event. I figured it would be this elegant night where you would mix and mingle with invited VIP's. I imagined tables full of food I don't eat like patte and shrimp cocktail. Maybe even a Rudy's cheese and cracker tray (some of you will get that, most will not)

The Youth ball turned out to be a concert !! You stand outside for HOURS in the cold which wasn't a problem earlier in the day but for some reaosn was a huge deal tonight. Once you get inside, you get this cavity search by the good people in the Secret Service. The good news is they found out I don't have colon cancer. Then you make your way into this concert populated by fetuses who know what a "Jonas brother" is (or does - I still can't tell you). I didn't get to meet the President as I hoped I would. As it turns out he stopped by for all of a few minutes, gave a speech and left. The rest of the event was a concert with music by people I don't know. Good job MTV for ruining my night.
