Traditionally, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been attended mostly by D.C. area families who camped out early with their kids to score tickets to the free annual event. But on Monday, the 2009 White House Easter Egg Roll played host to over 30,000 people from 45 states and the District of Columbia, thanks to a new online ticket distribution plan put in place by the new administration. Local parents grumbled, but 4,000 tickets were also distributed separately to students from D.C., Maryland and Virginia public schools. DCist photographer Meaghan Gay was there to capture what an Easter Egg Roll hosted by the Obama family looks like.

Wearing shades and posing like an 11-year-old gangsta wannabe on the White House lawn is definitely something to put on the fridge at home. Wow.
Hate the game, not the playa.
I hope you enjoyed your easter egg roll, you out-of-town bastards! Because of this ticket fiasco, my family's easter egg roll consisted of pushing a dung ball that was 50-times my weight into our underground nest.
Now that is HOT!
Ok maybe not the best time for sunglasses -but what about the kid made him an 11-yr old gangster? The Polo pullover?
My bet is on the Bugatti driving hat.
"come on, kids! we're going to the white house! be sure to wear your baggy jeans and old t-shirts!"
