We Are One - The Concert at the Lincoln Memorial

Yesterday, Danielle, Greg and I journeyed to the Mall for the big Inaugural Concert.  There were so many people and the greatest influx hadn't even come in yet!  We got down there right as the first speaker, Denzel Washington, was taking the stage.  They were turning people away from the Lincoln Memorial, so we gathered with the rest at the base of the Washington Monument and watched it on a Jumbotron.  There were so many people, it was hard to see and hard to hear, but at least we were there!

We heard Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Mary J. Blige, James Taylor, Jennifer Nettles, John Legend and Josh Groban perform and Denzel, Tom Hanks, Steve Carrell, Queen Latifah and MLK III speak.  After about an hour, we decided to head back to the burbs before everybody else and get some drinks.

Here are some pics of the crowds....
