Not sure what to do to celebrate the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States and the blessed departure of W? Well, one option is The Brooklyn Inaugural Ball at the Bel House. It takes place tomorrow night from 7PM-11PM and it’s a benefit for PS 261, which may explain why tickets are $75. Per an announcement on the PS261 website:
