We may not have tickets to watch the presidential inauguration in person, but we’ll be happy enough as the tame old married couple that we now are to witness the (recorded) event in the comfort of our own home this evening.

In commemoration of this historic day, here’s a delightful little video from Common Craft on how our votes got us — and Obama, of course — here in the first place. I guess it’s a little back-asswards to be posting a how-to on the US presidential election process now that we’re already at Inauguration Day, but if you’re anything like me (i.e. can’t remember much from social studies in school) then any refresher on this kind of thing is helpful. Especially if it’s cute. Let’s just hope this lesson sticks…but if not I’ll just re-watch this video!

If you’d rather be out and about celebrating the experience with your American people tonight (and have some change to spare to get tickets), here are some venues to consider courtesy of SF Gate Events:

• Barack Obama Presidential Inauguration Skaters’ Ball at FunkyTown Roller Rink in San Francisco
• Inauguration West at the Metreon in San Francisco
• Obama Ball 09 at the California Ballroom in Oakland
• The Green 960 Inaugural Ball at Yoshi’s in Oakland
• Inaugural Celebration at H’s Lordship Restaurant in Berkeley

Happy Inauguration Day!
