Free Republic W2 Inaugural Ball ^

[Jim Robinson]

Me too!!

[Old Sarge]

Oh, I'm still stateside for a bit, but there's the ultimate destination...

[deadhead]

Hi Jen. I am going and looking forward to meeting FReeper FRiends :-) Staying in Alexandria

[Jim Robinson]

They're gonna be way too busy rock'n and roll'n to be worrying about smoking anyway. LOL! See you there!!

[Jen]

What hotel are FReepers staying in? Hubby is checking flights right now. Woo Hoo!!!

[Jen]

GREAT!!! What hotel?? FReepmail if you don't want to post it.

Unlike the official "state balls" held at the huge venues, that have cash bars with miles-long lines (and the food is usually stale pretzels and peanuts, our ball will have full buffet dinner, desserts and an open bar. And Governor Huckabee and Capitol Offense!

Hi Jen! I can't go. :-( Classes for the spring semester start on Jan. 18.

Usually ya gotta suffer thru a wedding for an open bar ;)

Seriously, all the arrangements look fantastic!

[Jim Robinson]

Yes, I'm sure that will be fine. But the details for the Wednesday night dinner are yet to be worked out. I'm sure there will be one, just don't know how large a party we will have and where we can have it. The details will be worked out over the next few weeks. The DC Chapter will be running some threads on it. Hope to see you there.

[nutmeg]

KUDOS to you for all the hard work you've put into organizing this ball. You've posted excellent information on this thread - and thought of every detail. Just bought our tickets (#1052)... it was sooo easy!

Thanks for the ping, tgslTakoma... see ya there! :-)

[Prov3456]

Did I miss something? I didn't notice the address to which I should send checks to (snail-mail). Should checks be sent to the hotel or elsewhere?

[tgslTakoma]

I had the presence of mind way back then to save many of the pictures to my computer. I will upload some of them and post them here...

It may take me a little while, though.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I'm sure there will be one, just don't know how large a party we will have and where we can have it.

Dunnoooo how many folks we had the night before in 2001, but we spilled over into a second restaurant before meeting up to head to the White House for some good, clean fun!

[The Mayor]

I want desperatley to go..

$$$ holding us back. : (

[tgslTakoma]

See you and Zelig there, nutmeg! I'm bringing my daughter and her best friend, too; as an early HS graduation gift to them. They're good (conservative) kids and they deserve a night out - after all the Freeper stuff they have helped me with over these past four years.

[Gabz]

ROFL!!!

Looking forward to it.

[Jim Robinson]

There's a pull down box on the reservation order page for payment method that includes "Check" as one of the payment options. After clicking through the "Continue" button on that page, you will receive a page with your order number and address to mail your check (it's our regular address: FreeRepublic, LLC, PO Box 9771, Fresno, CA 93794). Just indicate on your check that it's for the ball and please include your order number so we can match it up. Thanks! See you there!!

[NYTexan]

I had every intention of attending, but due to circumstances beyond my control I can't.

However, I am purchasing a ticket and holding it in reserve to sponsor a Vet, disabled, in need, or otherwise. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hope Y'all have a great time and look forward to the live thread if it happens.

That would be great! I might be able to find the video from before if you'd be interested in showing that in January if you can't find yours.

I have the VetsCor Patriots Rally slide show also. For those who don't know, it's a compilation of photos taken from the Patriot Rallies all across the country during Iraqi Freedom and is awesome!
