This is going to be great. Gratitude to all involved for your willingness to organize this event.
Are any FR events going to be scheduled for the 10th, and how involved are we going to be with the Tea Party events? I’m just a bit confused.
Thanks.

STT— Friday is September 11th, not Sept. 9th.
Thank you for pointing out my mistake!! Friday, September 11th is correct! Thanks again!
I’m looking at the possibility of driving from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I just found a great website to calculate gas mileage and I thought I’d share.

Great! Thanks for the post! Sure others who are driving to DC will find it helpful.
Post that you are driving on your Oklahoma FR Forum and perhaps other Oklahoma Freepers will join you in a caravan. You could also have another Freeper or two ride with you and share the cost. :)
What if I only want to go to the banquet? What is the cost of that?
Great idea...was thinking the same thing while looking at the potential cost!
We can not divide the ticket cost with amounts for each event. The ticket cost covers all the Convention events even if you only choose to go to the Saturday evening Convention Banquet.
FreepMail coming to help you meet up with other Oklahoma Freepers! :)
We're looking forward to the convention and to meeting everyone.
Just as soon as I know who the first ten ticket buyers are who had already reserved their room, I will let everyone know. Hopefully by 7:00PM Eastern I will know the 10 Freeper names of those who will be entered in the drawing.
I will then assign a number to each that I will pull from 1 to 10 at random. I will then ask Jim to let me know the number he drew from 1-10 and the winner of the T-Shirt will be announced! Good Luck!
Thanks for the link! I had not seen the thread. We are number three and on the way up to being number 1!
Well, I have airline tickets, my room at the Sheraton for two night, and I darn sure will be at the mall on Saturday. But frankly there ain’t no more money. I hope that I will be able to yak and visit with other Freepers while at the hotel.
We all will have a great time at the hotel and sure to get to visit with Freeper friends!
It is a good while between now and September, and perhaps things will work out just right for you to enjoy every Convention event! See you in DC!
I would come, but my finances say no.
See you at the hotel and the mall.
We will have fun and will be able to meet fellow FReepers!
