I can't think of a better way to usher in the New Year than to welcome in a brand new Democratic congress - which is why I'm headed down to Washington, DC this week to join in the festivities. Official swearing-in ceremonies take place on Thursday the 4th, but it looks like parties, receptions, and other gatherings start a day earlier, on Wednesday, and I imagine they'll last through the weekend.
So which of my fellow Kossacks will also be in DC for swearing-in? And which events will you be attending? (If you have links to any info, or e-mails you can copy and paste, please let us know in comments.) While it may be too late to try to organize a DKos meetup, I'm sure that many Kossacks will show up to events for netroots favorites like Jim Webb and Jon Tester - and, undoubtedly, many others.
Also, if you're looking to catch a ride down to DC or to share a hotel room, this thread might not be a bad place to try to co-ordinate with others. See you in DC!
