It looks like every cop on the east coast is based here at the Gaylord Convention center in DC. We've seen troopers from Virginia all the way to Florida. And then there's this guy. Mike is with ICS Security and his job is one of monumental importance: he's guarding the "smoker door" out back. If you want to light up, you're gonna have to get by this guy first...

From the Vegas-style sports bar in the Gaylord Convention Center, it's Jessie Scott. Black Tie & Boots is underway.

Heavy security cloaks the Gaylord Convention center, but somehow the Music Fog crew has scammed their way into the media room for the Black Tie & Boots inaugural ball. We have stolen this internet connection from other "legitimate" media sources...we'll see how long this lasts!

It's a sea of black ties and real cowboy boots. The music kicks off at 7:00PM EST, and we're gonna have a real tough time deciding where to be because Sunny Sweeney and Emory Quinn are in different rooms at the same time. Let the games begin...
