Sounds great! See you there!!
Salute!!
Well, now, that'd be a right fancy outfit. If it includes a cowboy hat and Lone Star belt buckle you'd be in for sure.
Woo hoo!! See you there!!
Great!! See you there!!
Wonderful!! This is going to be a great ball!!
Yes, there will be seating available. Hope to see you there.
You need to make arrangements through your congressman's office for tickets. They no longer have the regular tours. Or, if you know someone who works in the White House, they might be able to get you a tour.
We're going! We're going! I'm so excited. Just
ordered tickets!!! Jen and MrJen (Matt) are #1092!!!Congratulations!
I'm really happy for you. :^D
Last time the seating was downstairs. This time we'll have seating in two rooms adjacent to the ballroom. Together they can hold about 300 or so seated. Plus the lounge at the bar ( a few feet away on the same floor) can seat about 70.

2 here would be interested in a Saturday Tour. I'd like to get the word out if there are others interested.

2 here for the tour if you are getting a group together.
Thanks for the ping, stanz. I'm still working on the $$$ to go. Hope I can make it, but it's not looking good right now :(
2 more here interested in a White House tour!!! Who is requesting the tickets?
Going for the barefoot contessa look?
Governor's gig
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and his rock 'n' roll band, Capitol Offense, will headline the Jan. 20 inaugural ball hosted by Free Republic, a grass-roots conservative news, analysis and activism forum, in Washington.
It's a repeat performance for the 49-year-old Mr. Huckabee, whose gubernatorial term expires in 2007. Because of the high-spirited show put on by his band at the 2001 Free Republic Inaugural Ball and Count the White House Silverware Party, guests left other inaugural balls in favor of the governor's less-formal gig, which, this year, honors the U.S. armed forces
BTTT
Great! See you in January :-)
queenkathy and me for two please merely asking.
Nothing organized as far as I know.
I am calling Congressman Gallegly's office to get one group tour pass for 10. Let me know if you want in.
They're requiring a three month advance request and a minimum 10 member group for WH tours. :(
You're welcome!
