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!
"Good luck in WNY..."
You're right about that! Slim pickins' round here! Besides, freeper gals have more fun! (I have been told that this is true!) *L*
"Or go stag and have your pick of lovelies at the ball. ;>)"
Hi Val! Ya'll goin? Got/have/want a date?
And THANK YOU for all you have done over the years to build this forum for free men to meet!
PBS -- pearls before swine
Count me in for 2. We are sorry we missed the last one and won't let that happen again!!
Put me down for two. BTW.....I bought non-refundable airline tickets to DC for Jan 19-22, 2005 a couple of months ago--how's that for confidence in W ?!?
Did you see my letter to the Buffalo Snewz news today? A response to Molly Ivins.
No!, I missed that, got a link? what did ya say?
BTTT Time to plan the Puget Sound FReeper Chapter Balls... Ok ok, I won't complete the sentence ;) This will be SWEET!
Please keep me informed.
WOO! Balls Across America! WOO!
Hubby and I are in again for at least 2, maybe more.
Any tequilla?
Jim: If you can possibly get Gov. Huckabee again, that would be the best!! They were absolutely great!! That 2001 ball was one of the best functions I have ever been to.
Yes, you will be surrounded and protected by GENTLEMEN of all kinds.
The First Ball was a genuine treat for all of us.
Never ever will forget it.

Rooms at that Wyndham are going for $390 a night right now...OUCH!!
Gotta Stay somewhere's else, that's for sure!!

hey girl.. post link for letter?
After all, someone's got to have them!
I would think that Black Tie Pajamas would be very appropriate for many freepers.
Jim, is this another family affair? I'll be bringing all 5 of my grandchildren to DC to see the CIC inaugarated.
WOW.....$390 a night....way outta my budget.....may have to stop and rob a bank on the way to DC....LOL
Well, last time I wore my Sunday best and my George W Bush hat. Different suit this time but same hat.
