Barack Obama knows how to party.

From the Washington Times:

These are heady times.

Hoping to tap in to an inaugural bonanza, the D.C. Council Tuesday night voted 12-1 to push back last call to 5 a.m. and allow bars and restaurants to serve food around the clock during inauguration week.

As a resident of the District proper, I'm starting to get excited and a bit nervous about what this city is going to look like come January. It certainly is going to be a switch to have all of the bars in my neighborhood open three or four hours later - especially given that the window next to my bed faces a city street heavy with foot traffic from a few dance clubs and bars up the street.

Hooray for people stumbling home drunk past my house as the sun rises! Just don't wake me up (assuming I'm not out there with you...). Undoubtedly, Washington is going to be the place to be in January.
