Years ago, when I first found Free Republic, a bunch of us used to gather in an IRC chat room every night. I don’t even know if people do that anymore. I know there are chat rooms, but I have no idea on how to set one up. A lot of us that frequented that chat room met in D.C. for the March for Justice, and we attended most of the other events...The Republican House Managers Dinner after Clinton’s Impeachment, and then of course FR 2001 Inaugural Ball.
I still have mIRC installed :D
