WHAT A WONDERFUL (WASHINGTON) WORLD

If anyone ever thought that Washington DC does not know how to party, these past few days have surely turned them into believers.

It was the most exciting, most genuine, most joyous place to be in the entire world. No other city could compare to the warm spirits, despite the cold weather. There were very few conflicts and complaints--everyone just wanted to have a good time.

People from all over the world shared in the celebration of the inauguration of a man we can all believe in. Mr. Barack Obama already accomplished one of his campaign promises and bridged people from different backgrounds.

I was glad to be in the middle of it all. Between all the public events (We Are One Concert, Swearing-In, riding the Metro) in which I stood with strangers tolerating the miserable conditions to the private parties (Youth Ball, Google Party, Installation of the HOPE image) where I danced and drank with A-listers, DC was a gracious host. This was possibly the most fun five days I have ever had in the nation's capital.

Yes NYC may have celebrities and parties any given day. But when it came for DC to step up to the plate, not only did they step up but they hit a homerun.

Three cheers to Washington, DC!
