Here's a bit more about our trip to DC. I'm SO GLAD we decided to come home early. It was lesson enough for us to observe how the area responded to an inch of snow on Wednesday. We didn't need a demonstration of 5-9 inches, LOL.
A few more recollections about the FReeper Ball before I resume unpacking, laundry etc. There was about an hour long program of FR awards, acknowlegements etc. before the entertainment started. Some of the highlights were Jerome Corsi, Interesting Times, Buckhead, TankerKC among others. Kristinn was the emcee and Nick Danger presented the FR awards.
I mentioned sauropod's video earlier. It was a super effort, his first at such a project if I heard correctly. It tried to show what FR is about, highlights etc. I'd love to have a copy, am going to see if they are available.
A color guard who was in the Inaugural parade presented the colors at the FReeper Ball. This was the first event actually. There was an entertainer who sang impressions of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Lou Rawls etc. before Gov. Huckabee's band started. Sorry, I don't recall the name of the impressionist but he was very good.
Gov. Huckabee's band played lots of rock and roll, dancing music and the FReepers were not a bit shy about taking to the dance floor. Everybody had a lot of fun at the dance. There were several men in uniform in attendance. Very nice to see. One of the parts of the program was a salute to each branch of the military service, also a nice touch.
Three Iraqi's accompanied Kristinn to the party and gave short speeches of thanks, appreciation etc. If I heard correctly, one of them is a candidate of some sort in the upcoming election. He had only been in this country about a day before the Ball. I really don't know all the details of why he was here, when he was returning etc. Perhaps it was an official visit of some sort??
That's all I can think of at the moment. At some point we will try to get some pictures out, but what with dealing with the snow, getting packed and re-packed it's likely to take some time.
