As Freepers gear-up for Free Republic's 2nd Inaugural Ball, I thought it might be fun to post some of the photos I saved from the first FR Ball threads in 2001.
There were so many photo threads from that first Ball, but the photos were hosted on now-defunct sites. Unless folks saved the photos to their computers back in 2001, finding any of them on the internet now is next to impossible.
So, here begins the photo journey back four years, to the Free Republic Inaugural Ball and Count the White House Silverware Party...
Your host for the evening, Jim Robinson!
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (red vest) and Capitol Offense rock the night away with Freepers.
The new President makes a surprise appearance at the Freeper Ball.
Dubya performs with the band.
Bob Barr and Gary Aldrich.
Anyone remember "Billvis" at the Ball, and his "exit" from the building?
The dance floor was packed all night long.
The Ballroom lobby was full of Freepers, too!
Another shot of the Ballroom lobby, as Freepers meet new friends and greet old ones.
Governor Huckabee and the band had people dancing all night long!
And more dancin'!
Capitol Offense, 2001 - Will repeat their fantastic performance this January 20th at the FR W2 Ball!
Folks get into the buffet line, between dancing and chatting with Freepers.
AlGore and Bubba know the power of FR.
Hold onto your wallet, Governor. Al and Bubba are always lookin' for $$; though they seem to prefer Chinese ca$h.
Tony Kaye with Governor Huckabee, after the band's sound check.
Blondes having fun.
Name the Freepers...
Basil and Mr. Basil
Bootless
DoughtyOne and Mrs. D1
Requiem for Truth and the Mr.
Ironman.
The bmwcyles.
AGreatPer and family.
Free Republic display board, a favorite site for group photos, in Ballroom lobby.
Doctor Raoul and Jimmy Valentine's brother. Two manly men, masters of disguise and great humor, internationally (in)famous.
LisaFab with her friends, Darrell and Ed.
ELS and standwatie.
LBGA. She is missed.
Another shot of the band.
Governor Huckabee.

To: tgslTakoma
Thanks for the post. Great!!!
I will not plan to attend this year's event in DC unless after a few drinks, we are allowed to bury a couple of our 'favorite' liberals in the ground..... just leaving their necks and heads showing. We can do a fund raiser for FreeRepublic by letting teams throw over-sized Nerf horseshoes (using a toilet seat as a template). We can use their head & necks as stobs just like in a regular game of horseshoes.
Single elimination, of course. 3$ per toss of a shoe. The winning team then gets an all expense paid trip to the new Clinton library......
(please forgive me.....sometimes my imagination just takes off)
