Even if we could just stand it up for the FReepers, it could be a great thing for ALL of FReeperdom if we could bring it out. If we could fly it for any distance- it would be amazing!
We have some logistics to work out, but I think it could be done and make a huge splash for the Network and for Free Republic.
I'm guessing the closest place to set up might be one of the parks in Arlington. The Crystal Gateway Marriott is pretty flexible, but I suspect even they might draw the line at having a 53x78x29 foot balloon in their main ballroom...
