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!
LOL. None at all.
sounds good to me!
I really want to go!!!
I'm coming and bringing my best friends from Gainesville, Florida, to thank our President for his incredible visit here on Saturday.
I'll probably be missing this one.
Regional balls could be a good idea.
I believe Mrs. Edwards is singing. I want to come to the ball. Great things have been happening to me since I became a FReeper! BUSH WINS in a landslide!
May need as many as 4!
I hope that info on the regional Balls Across America can get posted as well as this exciting info. Freepers could well decide to travel to a more regional location if DC isn't possible, but not if they are unaware of it.
This sounds like fun in DC. I will check with hubby.
Prairie
I'm in.
And I will make it official right here: if there's a Bush-supporting Swift Boat Vet that would like to come but thinks the ticket price is too high, he can have a free ticket on me! It's the least I can do.
I AM.
Limit one, that is. But maybe other freepers can help out with tickets for deserving attendees. Just a thought.
Ping!
I'm in and we are coming in our Hummer Limo with 8 to 10 couples. I can't wait!
YES! WE MUST CELEBRATE!! WE MUST INVITE "W" AND HIS LADY!!! (AND BARNEY, TOO) LET'S START ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AND GO THROUGH SUNDAY!!!!!
