Today I'm making a huge catch-all post to include all of the inauguration day tidbits that have been catching my eye lately. One of the aspects of this most recent campaign and election that I have been most excited by is the unprecedented way it has inspired people, artistically, musically, and otherwise. People will always remember Shepard Fairey's HOPE poster, will.i.am's "Yes We Can" video, and the Obama-themed garages and barns people painted to convey their feelings about their candidate. It's been inspiring watching people create, whatever side you're on politically.
So here's some art, some music, and some sales, all in time for inauguration day.
Notcot's two-part piece on Manifest Hope: DC is a must-see for some sense of the sheer scale of the art installations involved. Here's part one and here's part two, and I cannot even begin to tell you how jealous I am of the people who get to see this in person!
One of my favorite online stores, ModCloth, is having a one-day-only sale on these twelve items in honor of the inauguration today. They're each 44% off! Get it? 44th president? Yep, very cute!
My Favorite Mirror is giving away a free Obama mirror or keychain with any purchase over $5 TODAY ONLY, which will give us all something to reflect on. Ha, I crack myself up.
And here's a few of the scads of Obama-inspired songs out there. Hope you enjoy them and hope you enjoy today!
