As at any big, national, history-making extravaganza you're likely to run into a few celebrities.
In Washington, our celebrities tend to be of the political type - politicians and pundits anyone would be very hard pressed to pick out of a line up (but sometimes seen in a perp walk.)
On this trip I managed to run into/sight the following inside-the-beltway types:
TV: Wolf Blitzer, Katie Couric, Bob Schieffer, Luke Russert
Pundits: Paul Begala, James Carville
Politicians: Jack Reed, Chris Dodd, the governor of Iowa (who is incredibly nice and who I kept meeting and shaking his hand - and no I wasn't stalking him), Howard Dean, Sheldon Whitehouse (how's that for an auspicious name)...and others too numerous to count
But for the rest of you out there in the real world, I have a few others on my list who are probably a bit more exciting.
The guys from the Daily Show - Aasif Mandvi, Rob Riggles, and Larry Wilmore, the Black Correspondent.
Melissa Etheridge on stage singing the best American medley I have ever heard
And my favorite candidate for Senator for Minnesota, Al Franken.
Wow!

Okay. I'm going to stop reading this blog. Right. Now.
I'm having a jealousy meltdown.
Seriously.
