Inaugural Ball

 At the last minute (6 hour notice) I was invited to one of the Inaugural Balls. Sure sounds fun!

I was told to wear a regular dress and I'd be fine. I should have known Ball = Gowns. I told myself "you're never going to see these people again, whatever."

And the performer was Lady Gaga. I never would have thought I'd be going to Lady Gaga but I never would have thought I'd be going to a Ball either. She is a good  "live" singer and it was fun to have front row entertainment. She sang one song with Tony Bennet. The President and the Vice President also gave a small Hooray Speech. The President and the First Lady are pretty cute together.
