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!
Jim - I would love to come. I have never been to DC so this would be a great trip. I can't know for sure for a wee bit but will there be more thorough listings of total cost (hotels and such)?
I hope so. Wouldn't that be great! (Ann not Michael)
You bet Jim, I'll be wearing my 5 year old Bush cap that I wear every day in the belly of the beast, Boston. :-}
Yes, as the details come together we'll post it all.
'fraid we'll have to settle for the FResno FReeper Celebration, but I'll save a dance for you. :)
ummmm...do cowboy boots count?!
Bush already won Ohio.
CALL NEW MEXICO NOW AND GET BUSH OUT THERE TONIGHT TO DECLARE VICTORY!
:-) Will be a lot of fun
Maybe there could be some local or regional FR stuff for those who can't go to DC?
Just happen to have an open line on my dance card. It'd be an honor fine sir.
Thanx Jim!
Gotta have another Inaugural Ball. The first one was fantastic. There will be about 6 in my party. Looking forward to it!
Cowboy boots, Lone Star belt buckles, and faded old Levis. This is a Ball for TEXAS! Yeehaw!
Kerry doesn't have any inaugural balls. Well, his comrades in arms knew that all along.
WoooHooo - count me in for 2!
I think I'm in. Can anyone let me Know about hotel reservations in that area? I know I would have to ASAP.
Are Cowboy boots acceptable footwear?
LOL!!!
Me & my sweetheart
me and maybe more, ONE for sure...rto
Yup. I believe some of the chapters are going to have regional balls. We're calling it Balls Across America!
