Just a friendly reminder. For those in Sydney (Australia) who are interested watching the Inauguration of America's 44th President with fellow observers, I would recommend the Viewing Party hosted by the US Studies Centre:
Inauguration Watch
Election Watch winds up on January 21 with our final event - the Inauguration of President Obama. Join us on this historic day to watch Obama's speech on the big screen, followed by a Q&A session with our pundits and then watch the spectacle and colour of the inaugural parade.
