New York Inauguration Parties
Where's the excitement? We know Obama is about to give his historic inauguration on Tuesday, but we should be celebrating an even more important event. After 8 excruciating years, George Pig Fucker Bush will no longer be terrorizing our constitution and the world at large. Yahoo! So, where are the parties?! We've dug up a few, but so far it's pretty slim pickens. On Sunday, get things started at Glasslands:
On Sunday, January 18th, 2009 a fundraising event is being held at Glasslands in Williamsburg to raise money for the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project. The mission of the Memorial Project is to commemorate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by leading a project to create a memorial to honor his national and international contributions to world peace through non-violent social change. We want to use this event to remind people that without the tireless efforts of civil rights activists like Martin Luther King Jr., (as well as those who came before and after him) we might not able to celebrate Obama's historic inauguration. So let's party in honor of the fulfillment of Martin Luther King's dream!Then, on Tuesday Galapagos is organizing a bus trip to watch the inauguration together on the National Mall. We're told a few tickets remain.
Also, BAM is offering a free screening of the event. Tickets are first-come, first-serve.
There's also a free screening here in Harlem.
Closer to home, Vivian Girls, Fucked Up and Pissed Jeans will be rocking a raucous blow-out at Market Hotel. This show promises to rule.
TimeOut has more listings here, but nothing that exciting.
Surely, we're missing something, so let us know in comments.

There is an interesting event on Monday evening/night to celebrate the inauguration, does that count? http://actionartsleague.org/inauguration/

Yes, you are clearly missing something.
Lose the politics from an otherwise interesting site.
