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!
I'm hoping there will be a reduced rate for children.
She don't eat much. ;~)

Did I reach the right hotel?
I'm staying one night. I booked the Quality Hotel in Arlington at $252. Has anyone found one closer to the venue that will take a one-night stay?
Days Inn Arlington on Rt. 50. will do a one nighter for around 100.00 per night.
I'm in for two tickets!
Please!
See post 751
It is called:
Camp Springs

They still have rooms available.
I think so, you should ping KRISTINN or JimRob on this tho' to be certain.
Geeee
Asked about price a few days ago. Did not confirm my "Final Answer" Put us on the list! (2) tickets for Knute & Mrs Knute from Visconsin!
Are we gonna have a night before meet-up/dinner and walk to the White House like 2001?
Thanks for the info. Everyone in DC is requiring a 3-night stay.
