Oh, I so desperately want to go! I didn’t even think of attending as a remote possibility.

Hmmmm. . . I’m looking into it! I’d be so excited!

I’ve already emailed my congressman to see if I could possibly get tickets. Apparently over 1,000 have already been requested, and that’s in the tiny state of MD! I know it’s a fat chance in hell, but hey, worth a shot right?  
I’m not that far away, so I’ll probably go regardless and see if I can stand along the parade route or something.
