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!
Bump for a ball date
Book me, Danno.
It sounds good to me. No need to stand in the rain at midnight protesting at the White House on Inauguration Eve. Guess we'll have to find something else to do.
I'll be there. Wouldn't miss this for the WORLD.
Probably staying with my sister in No. Virginia.
Add two for me. Probably more but can commit to two for now. Wouldn't miss it!
I drove through a blinding snowstorm to get there and back in 2001. It took me four hours to get home. Can I do less this time? I'll be there, with cigars.
Please add two more to your list. My husband and I would love to attend.
Are you planning to go to the FR Ball?
This is the thread I was telling you about.
I'm coming this time. I was so mad at myself for not going last time. Please keep me on any ping lists for tihs chance of a lifetime event.
The date will definitely be the night of the Inauguration, it's a Thursday, the 20th, correct?
I know that $175 per ticket is expensive, let me know if you are thinking about going to the FReeper Ball..
I am going to this! V's wife (and hubby and daughter)
We're in for 4 and 1/2.
I am so excited! Will be there with probably 2-3 others (if I can find a date!)
Diet starts today!!! LOL
Put me down for two!! Ask Kristinn to check availability of RFK Stadium, we may need it!!!
going to try my hardest to be there.. you?
