Wait! There's a third way to celebrate this historic event- the non-partisan, grassroots-organized Portland Inaugural Ball at the Scottish Rite Center Ballroom.
It's a heck of a lot cheaper that the Dems' shindig, proceeds benefit the Oregon Food Bank, and there'll be live music, hors d'oeuvres, and a full bar - your first drink is included in the price of the ticket. Oh, and you don't even have to wear a tie... Beat that!
