It's no secret that LA and New York are shipping the entirety of their bold-faced names down to Washington for Obamapalooza. But this is also (supposedly) a party for the people. Here's a round-up of the good, the amazing, and the so-amazing-you’ll-never-get-in.

For the people: Tickets are still available (to the tune of $250) to party with Jessica Alba, Samantha Ronson, John Legend and Jamie Foxx at the Declare Yourself “A New Birth of Citizenship” party on Sunday night. On Monday, the Beastie Boys and Sheryl Crow express a sentiment that many of us have been feeling with their Rock the Vote gala “Hey, America Feels Kinda’ Cool Again.” Tickets are sold out, but it’s worth trying your luck on craigslist.

On the big day, you can avoid the masses downtown in favor of the Common Man’s Inaugural Ball at The Wonderland, one of our favorite DC bars.
