Lots of Arizonans are traveling to Washington, D.C. this weekend to get ready for the inauguration of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, and some of them brought their favorite cell phone to tweet about the historic events.

I’m compiling a list of Twitter users from Arizona who are attending the ceremonies and am looking for your help. If you know of an Arizonan headed to D.C., send me an e-mail with their Twitter name. I’ll add them to my list and will try to figure out a way to help everybody follow them on the days surrounding the events next week.

Here’s a sampling of what Arizonans are saying so far:

@rgutel: Landed in DC, not the Hudson, thankfully. I know I used to live in Alaska, but my years in Arizona thinned my blood. It’s COLD! #inaug09

@melissa12news: ‘m talking with some shoe shine guys at Union Station. They say VP-elect Joe Biden has been a regular customer.

@terimorris: wolf and anderson on cnn have the best inauguration seats in the house

@jenindc: picked up my #inaugural gown last night and a friend asked if I had my carriage and footman with me. Not your everyday errand, I guess. 🙂

Who am I missing? Let me know.
