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!
You betcha! New theme song to help the Libs understand us..
"IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW,
YOU WILL NEVER,NEVER KNOW ME AT ALL!"
Yes, we are definitely going to the Ball. Put me down for two.
How do we pay up?
Yea but Bush is dangerous when he dances! ;-)
Any WNYorkers interested in going to the FR Inaugural Ball?
I'm brushin up my snoopy dancin skills as we speak......:oP
Count me and my wife in. We had the time of our life at the first one.
Jim, I won't be able to make it, but I will be happy to make a donation for this event to help with the deposit or other costs. Is there a special fund being set up for donations?
He may be dangerous but he's a cutie! I just love that man!
Just me, and who ever will have me...
Hey Kristinn .. what's the exact date of this
If I can find a babysitter for the kiddies .. I'd love to go
I will be there. Hope there are lots of Freepettes that like to dance.
Wouldn't miss this for anything. Will bring the wife and the 19 yo son.
Oh, whoopie.. JimRob will be match maker...
after working my butt off here in Ohio for POTUS I am eroded my male base ! lol
Put me on the list for a male FReeper. and the ball
I wouldn't miss this for the world!!
The Ball is planned for Thursday, January 20, 2005 in Washington, D.C. Hope you can make it!
Great!
Meant to add on my other post - there will be 4 - 5 of us - all 3 sons will most likely come - 21, 18, and 13. (The 21 and 18-year old will be there for the March for Life, too.
Almost made it last time but the weather forecast was for icy roads so I didn't want to put my family in the car for the 4 hour ride--I'll think about this year.
Thanks .. I might be able to work things out .. crossing fingers
Texas FReepers will be there with boots and ear to ear grins. :)
