CPAC this year was a great success for FReeperdom! We managed to get many great interviews for FRN Radio, and we got to meet loads of conservatives. A refreshing change from last year was that instead of people walking up and whispering in your ear, "Hey, I lurk. Don't tell anyone". This year, FReeRepublic.com was known by virtually everyone that stopped by the booth. People stopped whispering about their addiction, they were proud of knowing about, and being a participant in such a great forum.

It was a huge surprise to have Registered show up at an event. He is wonderful in person, and funny too!

The loss of the Columbia was a shock to everyone at CPAC. The hotel TVs were on all day with the coverage.

Great pictures! So far, Registered is an ear and a shoulder. If this keeps up, we'll get the entire picture of him someday!

Nice to meet you and other Freepers "in photo". Registered is not only the image guru, but also looks like he's the cropping guru, too.;-)

McCauliffe WAS there - and at the FreeRepublic Network booth too where someone took a photo. Whoever has this gem, please post it. McAwful was crashing our party (he was NOT wearing a CPAC admissions badge) and letting everyone know it by boldly (as in "being an ass") going around to EVERY booth in the display area and introducing himself shaking hands.

When he came by the DC Chapter booth, Angelwood asked him about his Global Crossing stock and we thanked him for doing such a good job for us last November. He wouldn't accept a "Member of Liberal LeftWing" membership card (signed by Hildabeast and Jane Fonda) or "Never trust a Democrat with National Security" button that were available at our table. If it weren't for the minions in his entourage, he'd have been wearing a "kick me" sign.

A couple more:

Angelwood, Exit148 at the booth

A quieter moment. I do not know who this Freeper is.

Abner: you asked who the Freeper in the middle is in that photo. That's my boyfriend, whom I'm trying to turn into a Freeper. P.S. That photo of me makes me look overweight! LOL -- I think you should check your camera, it could have a technical problem.

Great photos! Great meeting you!

It was great to see you and VOC again and I love the photos you've posted -- especially the ones of Registered! He is a real charmer and I was thrilled to meet him.

DC Chapter ping!

Great post, great pics. Now.............I sincerely hope that The Shrew didn't let his stardom go to his head. Did he behave himself? Use a knife AND a fork? Did he pinch anyone on the butt, or........??????

Great pictures.

I especially like the one where I'm 4'6" and Nick Danger is 8 feet tall.

Tell VoC I said hi. And the kids love the flag balloon, now retired to our living room after spending two days terrorizing the main ballroom at CPAC...

Great pics!!! Especially the candid shots of Registered. If only we had captured a pic of the chair Registered sat in at Hamburger Hamlet. That would really complete the photo collection.

Hey Reg---who does this look like?

Bret Schundler and Exit148

Mark Levin with X the 17th, Angelwood, and Exit148

Oliver North before his booksigning

BadRay giving neck rubs

Brent Bosell with Diotima

David Keene with BobJ

Part of the gang

More of the gang

I think Registered is somewhere in that group picture. He's rather retiring, and didn't want to get in front.
