January 20 could very well be the most optimistic day of 2009: Barack Obama will be getting the keys to the White House from George W. Bush.

To celebrate this joyous event (and my forthcoming 30th birthday three days later), we've put together what is sure to be one fantastic show.

Please join us on Inauguration Night – after you've watch the swearing-in of President Obama and Vice President Biden and Rick Warren's invocation –  at Chop Suey for some kick ass rock and roll with some of my absolutely favorite Northwest rock bands: H is for Hellgate, Friday Mile, Benjamin Bear and Ed Wang.

I'll be writing more on this until the big night (probably obsessively) but for now, Tthe important details are: TIG's Inauguration Celebration at Chop Suey with H is for Hellgate, Friday Mile, Benjamin Bear and Ed Wang on Tuesday, January 20, $7, 21+.
