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!
At least 4 of us.
Jim, we need a big venue and the SwiftVets need to be there.
Put Mama_Bear on the YES list. :-)
Awesome!
Balls Across America! Woooohoooooo!
I'll watch for it.
PING, PING, PING!!!! Will you two be able to come? I hope so!
Ping!
I, and possibly my daughter, will be attending.
I'm from Western NY and plan to attend the Ball.
This is yet another time that I will have to be there in spirit, rather than in person. But please know that I'll be here at the keyboard celebrating along with you!
Thank you for providing this Forum! (We're a good force, and I'm especially proud of all true FReepers today! I personally wear my pajamas with pride!)
Not to worry. When you walk through the door, you will be greeted by hundreds of life long friends that you are meeting in person for the first time. It's like a great big family reunion - only better.
Put me down for 1.
My wife and I would love to attend another FreeRepublic Ball. It was great the last time. We may see about bringing other guests, also. Keep me posted. Thanks!
Will it be the night of the Inauguration? Maybe a stupid question, but...
BTW, we're probably gonna stay at the Holiday Inn in Alexandria. Easy to get to town with the transit stop there and the prices for the room are much less expensive
Also, ping to Mombonn
Wouldn't miss it for the world..put me down for two tickets
nutmeg & zelig
ping!!!
