Walk to Obama's Inauguration with EchoSign

According to the New York Times, at least 1.5 million people are expected to come to the Capitol to attend Barack Obama's swearing-in.  Contrast that with the estimated 100,000 that showed up in 2005.  The entire D.C. mall is being opened up for the festivities.

We were pleased to see EchoSign is playing a small role.  As you may have also read, hotel rooms are long since booked, and the spill-over is desperately looking to rent homes and apartments.  Some have rented out for almost $100,000 for the inauguration week, the Times reported.

But we noticed EchoSign is helping with a number of relative bargains on sites like Craigslist.  This listing (may expire) for example seems like a relative bargain at only $2000 per night, and you can sign it right now via EchoSign.
