Whoever the band is (Gov. Huckabee & Co.?), they may be interested in this... Here's the perfect pre-recorded music to play in between sets:

Yup, Senator Edwards speaks. SoreLoserman II begins tonight, but I'm not waiting!
Congratulations President Bush!!
It's all over but the crying for the SoreLosermen!!
And now it's time for us to start planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II!
I've had Kristinn checking venues and prices and we're in the process of getting a proposal from the Wyndham City Center Hotel in Washington, DC (the other Wyndham that we used last time is already booked).
The costs have more than doubled from our first ball, so we're estimating the price per person will have to be in the neighborhood of $175 per person. We'll also have to move fast on this. We'll need to make a quick decision as soon after the elections results are official as we possibly can and then we'll need to quickly raise the funds to put up the required deposit.
So, here's the question: Are you ready for an Inaugural Ball?
If so, please post here if you plan to attend and how many will be in your party.
Thank you all very much and hope to see you in DC on January 20th!!
By the way, everyone told us last time that the Free Republic Ball was the best one in town and it was half the price or less than all the others. I suspect that this Ball will also be the best in town and at $175 will still be priced less than any other!
Working on my hubby about possibly attending. Any word yet on specifics? Tickets on sale, any hotel links?
Just about everything is lined up for the announcement to be made and sales to begin. Maybe a day or two more to go.
Thanks for your patience.
Not very patient Freeper. :)
I hear you. I'm raring to go, myself.
Please put me down for 2. Can't wait. Thank you.
Jim, I need 4 tickets to Bush II. Mel McCoy Will send Credit Card info upon reply.
Good plannin' on the permits kristinn.

Bumpity.
My mom's been on my back about this, she's probably more excited than me. I've been telling her, "They'll get it going soon, don't worry, they all want to do it", but she's nervous that I'll miss the opportunity! She's been lurking on FR since before I signed up; I heard about FR through her! She wanted to go to the one in 2001, but she didn't hear about it in time. So, she's really looking forward to this. LOL
Thanks for all your hard work kristinn, and anyone else involved that I don't know about! My mother appreciates it. hehe
I punched in at reply 873 on 16 Nov. You think that was soon enough?
You waited two weeks!! That's much too late!!!!
All requests after post 785 are void!!! ;)
Hey, don't go scaring the late Freepers! They're the designated drivers!!!
We have selected a hotel for the Ball. We have a band lined up. We have everything ready to go. Except we need to work out the kinks in the online payment program. Hopefully it'll be ready to go later tonight or tomorrow. We've kept the admissions price to $175. However, they'll go up to $200 in about a month.
This ping list is comprised of all those who have expressed an interest in the Ball on this thread.
We will ping you again when we are ready to start sales, hopefully later tonight or tomorrow. Please be ready as we don't want you to miss out.
Thanks for the update!
Thanks ... I'll be watching for the ping.
I'm ready--just waiting on you--LOL!
Hey, friend. Look at Kristinn's post above.
If you want tix, you better pay attention...
Yikes... so the best bet is to pay early, I take it. Thanks for the update, and for all of your hard work in putting this ball together! I'll keep an eye out for your next ping...
Thanks for the update...speaking of dates...I'm still looking for one :). Conservative women -- especially attractive early-mid 30s -- aren't easy to find in Baltimore!! Freepmail me if you are coming and need a date. ;)
Bump to the top!
