What a great thread... I didn't realize these pics still existed anywhere. Thank you for the ping!

The FR Ball 2001 was sooooo much fun... I've GOT to ping my list here. ;-)

This ping is especially for FReepers who may be still deciding on whether or not to attend the FR W2 Inaugural Ball. We were there in 2001 and had WAY too much fun! Can't wait until Jan. 20, 2005! ;-)

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Hee-eey! I still have the hat - gonna bring it. Will lose the glasses, tho. :-)

How nice to see everyone, and yes, LBGA is missed terribly. What a nice lady.

Yep, we'll be there! Can't believe it's been four years since we've seen you. Hope we find one another in the crowd of FReepers. Who is "flyboy"?

Yay! I have a funny dancing story for you, btw. I ended up doing a transcription job for a local woman who's a national ballroom judge (and teacher). Looking on the website for the association she works with, I saw three or four people I used to teach with (and one I worked for) Back in the Day! She was thrilled that I knew the lingo. Are you guys still dancing?

I work with flyboy - he's been a friend since before my son was evenborn, and I learned how to fly in his plane. (Thank you!!)

There's a picture someplace of him videotaping the action (part of his head - tall, mustache and beard) - he actually spent most of the evening taping the events for the video. I think we interviewed you and Zelig, right?

The Lovely Wife and I had a FABULOUS time at that event. Not sure if we can make this one due to work schedules, but we will try. Thanks for the "memories".

Oh yes, now I remember the person who interviewed us - didn't know his screen name was flyboy. Yes, we were among the interviewed at the 2001 FR Ball. I think Zelig ended up on the FR Ball tape... we'll have to watch it again to check that out and to re-live the memories.

We haven't been taking dancing lessons as we were four years ago, and are woefully out of practice. We'd better do some practicing before the Ball, I guess... Think we'll pick it up again a la "riding a bicycle?" ;-)

It sounds like it was a magical night. How I envy you.

Yes, it's just like riding a bicycle - that's the whole point! Just remember: slow slow quick quick. Heel leads going forward, release your toes going back. No spaghetti arms (which Frank learned from Sue when he was a student - ha!) Actually, you may not have room for a foxtrot - just bop and have a great time!

Yeah - flyboy found out about Free Republic from Snopercod (hey there!) and I found out about it from him. I'll look at my copy of the tape and see where you are.

That was just a blast - I loved meeting everyone, and am really looking forward to hearing Gov Mike and his band again!

I remember arriving at the hotel in my "work clothes," knowing just a few local Freepers (DC Chapter members), but very quickly feeling like I was with old friends

Old friends indeed! Good people with a common cause well met.
