If it’s the FReeper Ball I’m thinking of, it was 2001, the night of the Inaugural Ball, saying “buh BYE” to the Clintons (and telling them to return the White House silverware). I was living in Corning, NY, at the time, and my boss gave me a ticket to Bush’s inauguration. Wasn’t able to use it but I think I still have it in my Stack Of Stuff.
Corning is my hometown, was just there yesterday.
