[More added 1/17--check the last slides] With bars open until 4am and politicos ready to party, there will be a lot going on to celebrate Obama's second Inauguration. Even if you missed out on the official ball tickets from the Presidential Inauguration Committee, there are still a lot of events you won't want to miss (in fact, most of the ones here will be better parties, period)! Balls come and go every 4 years, so pay attention to learn what's hot and what's not for 2013.

The Obamas and Bidens have been invited to basically all of the events listed here. They are only obligated to show up to the two official balls but just might pop in when you least expect them to...

NYE is right around the corner and if you are worried you'll be stuck at home alone watching the ball drop, you've come to the right place. Get out those sparkly dresses, dancing shoes and tacky "2013" glasses because we have rounded up the best places to see and be seen when the clock strikes midnight. Our calendar has got you covered for the best music, champagne toasts and open bars in the District. Here's Guest of a Guest DC's Official New Year's Eve Party Guide.... we'll leave locking down that New Year's kiss up to you!
