Tuesday, January 20: Obama Inauguration Ball at the Mayan
Get ready for the members of The Mutaytor, performing at the Art of Change Inaugural Ball

Presidents Day isn’t till mid-February, but an unofficial Obama Day appears to be taking hold, with soirees planned nationwide to help ring in his residency in the White House. Change into something cute (creative attire is encouraged) and employ the audacity of hoping for a good parking spot near the Mayan; the 1,500-person venue is should be brimming with artists and Bush-bashers in all manner of rowdy celebration. Huge screens will rebroadcast Obama’s inauguration before bizarre performance act the Mutaytor doles out freaky fire-breathing, 100 tribal drums and assorted acrobatics. A secret guest will perform, and Burning Man turntablist DJ Wolfie will wrap up the night. If you’re looking for a place to wear a duct-tape bikini and celebrate Dick Cheney’s long-awaited departure, this is it.

1038 Hill St., Downtown; 7 p.m.; $11.40
