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!
We'll start selling tickets as soon as we get the contract finalized. Watch for the announcements later this week or next.
Awesome!! Hope I can get a ticket!
Teresa and I will be there with bells on. Would not miss it for the world!
Can we come in our PAJAMAS?
Should call it the Pajamahudeen (however you spell it) Ball.
By any chance were they able to get a block of tickets for Wyndham City Center Hotel? I checked for reservations on Sunday and there were no rooms available.
The Wife and I will be there
Sorry. No room block at the Wyndham. The rooms were gone before we met with the hotel staff.
Get me a ticket and i'll be there.
By the way, I'll take 2!!
Who will be the entertainment?? Mike Huckabee ROCKED last time!
We have extended an invitation to Governor Huckabee and his band. His office has confirmed receiving the invite. We're awaiting his response. I hope he can do it. His band made the 2001 ball a night to remember.
Nicollo here looking for two tickets -- can't wait!
2 tickets for me
I'm in for 2
I'm in for 2.
Or, maybe you can get Dean Torrence and the all star surf band. (they played for Dick Cheney's campaign stop in Orange County, CA in 2000).
