According to two local Washington, DC media outlets (WTOP / WJLA), the JCCIC has begun to mail out the promised official apology / commemorative Inauguration packets to rejected (purple, blue, and silver) ticket holders. The mailings apparently began to arrive as early as this past Monday [...]]]></description>

If you attempted to attend (i.e. were denied access with a purple, blue, or silver ticket) the 56th Presidential Inauguration, and have yet to contact the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, be sure to put your name and address at the top (above your well-crafted, tasteful retelling of the incidents/obstacles you faced on Jan.

It&#8217;s been a week since the frustrating and (mostly) avoidable situation unfolded for thousands of purple, blue, and silver ticket holders in our Nation&#8217;s capital.  As I keep trying reiterate (and I clearly can&#8217;t speak for everyone), all of us purple people are still talking about the Inauguration not because we want retribution (or to [...]]]></description>

I thought it would be helpful to post this overhead view (original image via PopSci) of the 2009 Inauguration for all of the (lucky) people who were not part of Purple Gate so that you could get an idea of both how close we were (and yet unable to see or hear anything) and to [...]]]></description>

According to the Washington Post (which is quoting an internal congressional staffer email), purple (blue and silver) ticket holders who were denied access on Jan. 20, 2009 should not only email the JCCIC @ feedback@jccic.senate.gov with your stories and information to assist in the investigation, but also need to include your name and address if [...]]]></description>

The JCCIC sent out yet another email today addressing the terrible (purple)  ticket problem of the 2009 Inauguration in which Senator Feinstein (D-CA) has asked for those of us who where part of this disappointing (and preventable) incident to contact the Secret Service (with no direct contact information provided) as well as emailing the JCCIC [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve received a number of texts/calls/emails from friends/family across the country wondering how my (much-hyped) Inauguration experience turned out earlier today.  Well, to put it bluntly &#8211; terribly disappointing.
Once feeling like the luckiest person on Earth in SF, after receiving confirmation that I had in fact &#8220;won&#8221; 4 Inauguration tickets to see Barack Obama [...]]]></description>
