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!
Couldn't have said it better myself but was going to try until I saw your answer.
Count me in, 1 maybe 2.
Freeper Ball Two, how GRATE!
It would be nice to have a few from around here at least go down. I am in the Northtowns, Niagara County. What about you?
I will put you down on my PING list.
Ya think Brooks and Dunn will play the Inaugural Ball?
It would be great to see an inauguration. How close can the general public get to the capitol building for that?
Not sure I will have the $$ to go for Jan 20 then go back to DC for CPAC the following month though. Unless someone wants to pay my expenses. ;-)
I trust it's okay to come alone; my guy doesn't fly.
hmm thinkin about it, need a babysitter though!
How about "Victory!"
Grate!! By the way, are you caravaning with us?
All I'm ready for is a two-day nap.....
Don't know about Brooks and Dunn, but I believe Kristinn is gonna talk to governor Huckabee. He was great at our first ball!
Or how about the "Got Wood Inaugural Ball?"
Mark me down as a definite maybe. I really want to attend.
Is anyone else's birthday on January 20th? There were 2 or 3 others at the previous Inaugural Ball, but their screen names escape me.
Was there last time and will be there this time. Well worth it at twice the price!
The Spit Ball!!!!
You took the words right out of my mouth! Ditto what Americanchild said :-)
Grate! And yes, we are planning a victory rally at Blackstone and Shaw for Friday night and will be rubbing it in to the Peace Fresno pinko hippy group that will be protesting on the opposite corner. Hope you can make it!
I'll be there again. Just trying to get an idea of how many in my family will be with me. Keep us posted.
