A Little Green for Everyone: Green Inaugural Ball

FRIDAY: Though he won't be taking a job as "Climate Czar" in the new administration, Al Gore's still a Washington power player. He bounced back from what-might-have-been-a-defeat-but-let's-face-it-probably-not and spread the gospel of global warming across the land, turning himself from a failed candidate to an eco-movement celebrity in no time. He'll be hosting the Green Inaugural Ball at the Smithsonian American Art Museum the night before Barack Obama is sworn in — but it's invitation only, and it's definitely sold out.

Worry not! Event Emissary, D.C's green-friendly event planning company, is giving their own "green tie" event — and yes, they invited Al Gore, though he may be busy saving the whales or something. Attendees can munch organic food, watch a live performance by Wyclef Jean and feel really good knowing their plates will be recycled at the end of the night.

Tickets can be purchased here.

» Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW; Fri., Jan. 16, 8 p.m, $500-1,000; 202-367-5575 (Federal Triangle)
