Not to worry. When you walk through the door, you will be greeted by hundreds of life long friends that you are meeting in person for the first time. It's like a great big family reunion - only better.
My wife and I would love to attend another FreeRepublic Ball. It was great the last time. We may see about bringing other guests, also. Keep me posted. Thanks!
Couldn't have said it better myself but was going to try until I saw your answer.
Count me in, 1 maybe 2.
Freeper Ball Two, how GRATE!
