Inauguration coverage

This morning, I'm pleased to announce that the Northwest Progressive Institute will be offering live coverage of the inauguration of President Barack Obama in exactly one week. I will be on the scene in Washington, D.C. for the swearing in, blogging intermittently from my BlackBerry.

I can't guarantee smooth and uninterrupted updates, because I have a feeling every wireless network is going to be overwhelmed during the event. There will be millions of people jammed into the center of the city.

Nevertheless, I'll try my best to report what I'm seeing, hearing, and experiencing. I have a ticket to the inauguration, so my vantage point shouldn't be too bad, either. I'll set up a temporary email address this weekend for readers to submit questions about the inauguration. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be able to respond in real time next week here on The Advocate.

Stay tuned for additional updates over the next few days!
