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!
How do you officially purchase tickets to the Inaugural Ball? Thanks in advance.
No pajamas, please. The thought of seeing me and other FReepers I know in pajamas scares me.
We'll be posting a separate thread for Ball sales/details. We're still putting the final touches together.
LisaFab, I salute you for not being a ball gown procrastinator like me. We are gonna have a great time, Lisa! Will Ed and Daryl be coming down, too? It'll be great to see you all again!
:-)
Libertina at the ball..... what a pleasant vision.
Might be worth a trip to the left coast.
Great, now I can buy a dress :-)
Thank You for all you are doing, it is appreciated.
((sweet))
Hey, I'm single and dateless for this event, but count me in! It will be just me, but I'm ok with that!
What a beautiful area (Bucks County) Have friends who own a golf course in Limerick.
You're no fun anymore.
bump for later.
Whoopee!
Darrell is coming and foot-Freeper Ed is 90% sure. We're also bringing a couple that was with us at the last ball, plus a cousin of mine who's never been to DC.
Has the 'daughter of' selected her school yet? The invite is still open should your trek take you through CT.
Hi Jim!
I am so glad about that... kids should be involved! My daughter is going to be one year old... can I just keep her with me the whole time? She LOVES music :o) Also, is the price $175 per person?
Thank you SO much for doing this!!!
Oh come on! The first few trips are only reconnaissance!!
Thanks
I eventually obtained 5 tiockets to the Capitol South 5 for the parade blachers at 7th and Pennsylvania and 5 for the Constitution Gala which was the first one attended by the President - and more importantly for my son - the only one attended by the Bush twins.
Viewing the photos it seems like everyone had a great time at the Freeper event though. Shame we couldn't go to both
