Counnt me in!
I won't be able to attend. What a pity!
Sign me up - but I won't need a hotel room. I'll sleep on a park bench like I did 4 years ago.
Many of the hotel rooms were booked by Kerry people. They will cancel soon.
I'm definitely coming this year. Can anyone recommend where to stay in D.C.? Am I better off staying in Crystal City? ANYTHING reasonable?
Advice would be greatly appreciated. Look forward to meeting all of you!
OK. I'll bring the Dixies.
We shall see! ;D
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same here... the Jan 2001 FReeper Ball was an absolute blast! Hope our name tags hold up this time so maybe we can actually figure out who everyone is! ;-)
Har - it almost came to that. I had been up since 7 AM, and a DC cop at Union Station was kind enough to poke me with his nightstick just before the Amtrak train left for NYC a 3:30 AM (he had previously asked me where I was headed - very cool of him).
Very smart! I thought of doing that a few months ago also, then it slipped my mind. Fortuately, we made our reservations the morning after Election Day, so we're all set. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Will you also be going to CPAC in February?
What happens at CPAC, stays at CPAC... ;-)
The Union Station Amtrak stop puts you about 25 blocks from the hotel. Metro's Red line stop at Union Station will take you to the Dupont Circle stop--about four blocks from the hotel--for $1.35. Or you can cab it for about $7 or so.

Everyone, I just got two rooms at the Sheraton Pentagon South in Alexandria, Va. Is this a good catch?? I have never done this before and am nervous about being able to get in to town..also, does anyone think W will visit this one?? And one last thing..should I try to get a limo to take us into town?? I doubt there will be taxis around...let me know...
Thanks for the tip.
LOL!
You mean you really have A PLAN for a gathering of FReepers?
Still have room for one more? Maybe two?
Please add arasina+1 to your would-love-to-attend list!
