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!
Great! We hope to open ticket sales this week as soon as we work out the details with the hotel. See you there!
Ok, sorry about that.
Nope! That photo was taken upon arrival to the hotel where we were staying!
Later that night, we took the stroll to the Whitehouse too and did the Whitehouse cheer.
What a hoot!
If I can get away from work I will be there.
Put me in for one... and if anyone knows any cute 25-35 year old freeper ladies out there who would like a date let me know.
Jim,
The Duchess and I would like to attend if there is room.
John (aka Redleg Duke)

Hi Jim,
Will we be able to use PayPal for the ticket sales? I'm definitely in for two ... which is already requested way upthread, so don't put me in for a duplicate. :-)
Can't wait.
We are now a definite for 2 tickets. Booked the airline and hotel today. Yessss!

Try Expedia. You can get a great deal with them - and because it's more than a month out, they'll only charge about half of the price on your credit card, and will automatically charge the balance a month before the trip.
Hi...I would like to add my name to the list for the Ball. I am member of Security Moms 4 Bush and WISP and heard about your site through them! I would love to request 5 tickets, if possible. Let me know where I need to post my info. Thanks, Heather
Thanx for the tip!
Please keep me up to date on any good deals you find! Thanx!
Please hold 2 tickets for me.
Thank you.
You're welcome! MUCH better deal than the rack rates.
