Yes, we are having a "Neighborhood Ball"

Western's Macomb campus had been selected as one of some 60 sites across the nation to host a "Neighborhood Ball," which will be webcast live on YouTube (youtube.com/inauguration), Flickr (flickr.com/photos/inauguration) and Twitter (http://twitter.com/obamainaugural) and taped as a possible feed on ABC network's inaugural coverage beginning at 7 p.m. (CST), according to Matt Bierman, director of residential life.

"We are among just a few universities, along with the University of Florida and Kansas State, to serve as site for a Neighborhood Ball. The majority of sites are restaurants, community centers and major public gathering places," Bierman said.
