You could buy an expensive plane ticket to Washington, DC, plead with your local representative for a coveted inauguration ticket, and then drag your jetlagged self through the largest gathering of people ever assembled in the Western hemisphere, all to stare at a screen showing President Barack Obama (whom you believe is somewhere in the vicinity) being sworn in. Or, thanks to NextArts' Presidential Inauguration Simulcast, you can pretty much recreate the experience, minus all the hassle, in the comfort of San Francisco's Civic Center. Admission is free with a donation of new socks or underwear.
