Famous restaurant Busboys and Poets plans to host an alternative inauguration ball, celebrating the accomplishments of President Barack Obama and Americans over the past four years. “It’s not really an inaugural ball, it’s more of a gathering of folks to have some joy and camaraderie and get energized for, I think, a very long and arduous road ahead of us,” Andy Shallal, owner of the eatery, said in an interview with DCist.

The $200 general admission tickets are currently sold out and include food, open bar and a live performance from Esperanza Spalding. VIP tickets priced at $300 are still available via waiting list on the event’s website.
