Yup, Senator Edwards speaks. SoreLoserman II begins tonight, but I'm not waiting!
Congratulations President Bush!!
It's all over but the crying for the SoreLosermen!!
And now it's time for us to start planning the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball II!
I've had Kristinn checking venues and prices and we're in the process of getting a proposal from the Wyndham City Center Hotel in Washington, DC (the other Wyndham that we used last time is already booked).
The costs have more than doubled from our first ball, so we're estimating the price per person will have to be in the neighborhood of $175 per person. We'll also have to move fast on this. We'll need to make a quick decision as soon after the elections results are official as we possibly can and then we'll need to quickly raise the funds to put up the required deposit.
So, here's the question: Are you ready for an Inaugural Ball?
If so, please post here if you plan to attend and how many will be in your party.
Thank you all very much and hope to see you in DC on January 20th!!
By the way, everyone told us last time that the Free Republic Ball was the best one in town and it was half the price or less than all the others. I suspect that this Ball will also be the best in town and at $175 will still be priced less than any other!
So tell me what it was like 4 yrs ago. Give me details
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Zelig and I are IN! :-)
4 with me....
My husband "zelig" and I plan to attend... The FReeper ball in Jan 2001 was a blast!
Big BTTT
They're required! :-)
THEY WON TODAY TOO !
I was up all night waiting for NBC to call Nev., NM, or IA. Could they do it? No! They had to keep it stuck at 269./whine:)
My husband and I will be there and are very anxious to see our friends from the DC Chapter.

Yes, it will be on the evening of the Inauguration, Jan 20, 2005. Hope to see you there.
I am definitely coming.
Yeah! We don't need another "Count the White House Silverware" ball. What's the theme this time around?
I am definitely ready. Was there in 2001, with my mother (heylady) and my sister. I can't wait for this one.
what's the dress code? black tie? hope it still fits.
I'm interested.
