My friend just got an invitation from the official inaugural committe to pay for tickets on the bleacher for parade and also the ball. Is this kosher? Has anyone else received them? Any details?
Congressman Ralph Hall's office called me this week to inform me that I do have a ticket for the swearing in. As soon as I get a confirmation on my buddy being able to go, I'll more than likely get a ticket to the FR ball. ;)
I did the Texas Wyoming ball in 2001...FR here I come! ;)
I love everything about the DC Chapter of FR!
BTW-if anyone is searching for a room and can afford it, if they go to ratestogo.com (rates to go), they still have 13 rooms as of this moment available and you do NOT have to stay three nights with this booking site. Their rate is under just over 200 per night including tax. YIKES. But still....many of the hotels are outrageous in their $$$ for this inaugural event.
Oh and btw-the hotel that has 13 rooms left is the Washington Plaza, where the inaugural ball takes place.
So did your parents like the bleacher seats? Were they in a good spot where they could see well? They cost. 15, 65 and $125, I figure for that much money I'll stand with the FReepers. Just hope I can navigate getting there to there.
I'll see you in 11 days. Yikes! Only 11 days to go?! Oh no! I have a lot to do between now and then. I better get a move on... no time for Freeping...
It will be good to see you again, Republic.
:-)
We were on the big mall thingie, and met a young woman on the Metro
who hung out with us. We gave her the FR handle MetroBabe,
but I don't know if she ever signed up.
It was a little cold, but we bundled up and it was cool,
there are big TV screens (JimBo Trons?) where you can see
the swearing in really good close up .
It's a welcome message to WMAL listeners who visit FR after hearing our ad for the ball on the station.
I heard the ad this morning!
Are any of the local talk gurus from the station invited?
bttt
BTTT. I got the call today from my Congressman; our tickets to the inaguration are on their way!
MRS-X just got her new NY registration plates in the mail: DUBYA 43!
Hey Jim, Hey everyone! Hubby and I are planning on attending the ball. See ya all there. We haven't had inter net for some time, this is the first time I've been able to be on. So, before I lose my connection again, See ya at the ball.
See you there, Teacup.
Are there any plans for meeting up Wed. night?
Thanks!
Do we have a Freeper Dinner planned the day before the Ball.
The last Ball was Count the Silverware. What will be the Theme of this one?
