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!
Have a good time, but Jim Robinson is the one you need to tell! (Also, I got a message from him saying sales haven't started yet.)While I'll be there, I'm not running the inaugral.
Four people have I.m.ed me for tickets now. Must be my FR name. :)
I am almost 100% certain to be attending. Will we get notified by private reply or public ping?
We will probably start selling tickets next week. We'll ping everyone on this thread, but watch for our announcements in the sidebar.
Thanks very much.
Hope to see you all in DC!
Do you know the name of the airlines that has cheap fares that was mentioned in one of these inagural ball threads.
Thanks for the help.
This is getting a little pricey but keep me on the ping list!!
hilaryrhymeswithrich and I will be there!!
My wife and I just reserved a room at the Days Inn in College Park, MD. 1/2 hour away but the price is pretty good!
Theres a band called Super T out of Nashville that played for the president in December 03. per Newsweek.
Waiting patiently for ticketing info....have plane tickets
Me too. LOL
Thanks
I'd like two tickets, please. Also I've not worked my way through this whole thread. I'm hopeful you will send details?
I plan on attending the Ball bringing 4 people with me! please email me at gilbri5@aol.com to let me know how to go about purchasing tickets!
Thanks
