Another shining star in our banquet program galaxy of All-Stars is our own freeper patriot, Lisa Mei, a talented singer and songwriter.....and entertainer extraordinaire!

Lisa is a retired Air Force Senior Master Sergeant turned defense contractor by day and singer/songwriter at night.

She's a wife, mother, a Christian conservative, and proud "Right Wing Extremist".

Lisa has been involved in music her entire life in venues ranging from singing in school and church choirs and miltary Top 40's bands to performing around the world with the Air Force's elite entertainment troupe, "Tops in Blue". Lisa then fulfilled her Air Force career, retiring in 2000.

She decided to begin concentrating on her own music. She turned up the heat during last Fall's presidential election campaign with her personal tribute to Governor Sarah Palin which can be viewed on a YouTube video.

Today, she and her collaborator are actively writing political/patriotic songs to help spread the message and inspire others to use their time and talents in the fight to take our country back.

Lisa will be releasing her debut CD this fall. In the meantime you can hear her music live and up-close in our hotel banquet hall on our convention's big night. You'll love her talent and her spirited patriotic music.

And....she has a surprise in store for the audience as she leads us in the National Anthem!

A photo of the lovely Lisa is coming right up on this thread, folks.

Let's jam the banquet room, freepers. You have till midnight tonight to sign on at the stunningly-low room rate. You'll be thankful you did. Trust yer ole MinuteGal/Bahama Mama!

Looking forward to it, are you driving this time? Remember to not do all that honking this time... ;) I think I’ll be at the Sheraton National to welcome you on Friday evening late.

[Syncro]

Yes, Lisa Mei is quite very lovely!

And a GRATE singer, I watched some of her videos.

[Lisamei62]

Thanks so much for the promo! I’m looking forward to meeting all you great FReepers and marching with you in DC!

[seekthetruth]

That is great that you have the points to use up! And I certainly agree that $0 is better than $116!

See you in DC! It is going to be great fun to meet Freepers from all across the USA!

Good morning, MinuteGal. Hope you are having a great day.

I’ve been looking for a post regarding appropriate attire for our Convention.

Any suggestions? TIA

[freeangel]

“Any suggestions?”

Me, too, please.

“I think I’ll be at the Sheraton National to welcome you on Friday evening late.”

Great, MtnGandpa! My hubby and I will sure be there to welcome the Tea Party Express Caravan with JimRob, Syncro, Lloyd and many other patriots! We will have the flags waving and will have lots of handshakes and hugs to deliver! :)

Your fashion stylist. Michelle My Belle MinuteGal, will be posting a comprehensive report on what to bring to wear during the convention. It will be posted on this thread by this evening....and I'll ping each of you.

First tip....no studded boob-high belts allowed.

WHAT TO WEAR CONVENTION WEEK

From Michelle My Belle MinuteGal, Your Clothing Czar

At the National Mall for the Tea Party.......lots of walking so bring comfy sneakers, slacks or jeans, freeper cap or patriotic head wear, patriotic casual shirt or tee shirt, bottled water, tiny fold-up camp stools if you can find them, sunglasses, any pills you need, back pack is a great help, I got my lightweight one at Sears, it holds a ton of stuff.....a candy bar or two, a couple tiny American flags for waving. Check the long-range temperature forecast for D.C. to see if you need a windbreaker, sweatshirt or bikini at the rally. It can be warm or cool in D.C. in the Fall.

At the Sheraton Hotel During the Day.... sharp jeans or slacks, anything casual that can be described as "Freeper Nice".......you get my drift.

At the Saturday Night Banquet.......hey, anything "Freeper Extra-Nice" goes!

Men.......business suit with tie or nice sport coat with spiffy open-neck. Or spiffy casual shirt with spiffy slacks with no jacket. Short sleeves fine. Nice shoes. No white socks. Wear some bling, Why Not?.......Tuxedo if you want, Why Not? This is a BANQUET, for cryin' out loud. I know at least one freeper who'll be wearing a tux. Dig yours out and see if it still fits. Dontcha know how the ladies love tuxes? They swoon when you walk in looking like James Bond headed for the roulette table......Clothes at this event will be eclectic (look it up, hah). However, leave the golf shirt, sneakers and Che Gueverra tee shirt in your room.

LADIES.......always proper is a non-Hillary pants suit feminized and glammed up with higher heels, swingy earrings, jangley bracelets and sparkly rings. A Sarah Palin hairdo with your glasses will rock the room!....Hey gals, wouldn't you LUV to really dress up? Then do so! Why Not?......Wear that swingy short black cocktail dress with disgustingly high stiletto heels! Yum, Yum......Wear that ankle length Dressy-Dress? Yes-Yes........Before packing day is upon you, visit your safety deposit box at the bank. Take a look at the family jewels you never get to wear. BRING 'EM, WEAR 'EM! There's safes at the hotel. The more you look like an evil, decadent rich capitalist, the better!

MOBSTERS.......Since you are participating in the Mall protest, you are automatically a MOBSTER. Why not look like one at the banquet table? Of course, you MUST wear an expensive, three-piece, black pin-stripe suit, sumptuously tailored. Leave your wide-brimmed white or black felt hat and your roscoe at the door. Accent your suit with a white silk hanky and a slick tie with diamond stud. Finish off with pearl-gray spats, real leather black shoes, a jewel-studded platinum watch chain, a huge diamond pinky ring and a fat cigar imported directly from Havana.

MOBSTER MOLLS.......you must not outshine your mobster man. Anything Faye Dunaway wore in "Bonnie and Clyde" is fine as long as its fringed. Don't forget to bring your little pearl-handled revolver tucked in your beaded bag. How tres chic!

BRING CAMERAS!

[flaglady47]

Looks like cameras are going to be a must to catch all those fancy duds! BUMP!

[Syncro]

No CGI fireworks/sparksgalore show this time around!

Square motor-homes, round tunnels = *sparklers* LOL

Grate you and the others will be there to greet us late Fri evening, Thanks!

Great link, seek!

I don't want to garble up this thread, so here is only a bit of that article, quite interesting and a great addition to the Tea Party Express!

Kenneth Gladney to join the Tea Party Express

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Kenneth Gladney to join the Tea Party Express

The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) is proud to announce that Mr. Kenneth Gladney will be joining the nationwide Tea Party tour hosting 35 rallies across the country, set to launch this Friday, August 28.

Kenneth Gladney didn’t expect to be the victim of an angry mob when he went to a town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Missouri). While selling “Don’t Tread on Me” flags outside the town hall forum, he was physically and verbally attacked by members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), who knocked Gladney to the ground and proceeded to punch and kick him.

Mr. Gladney joins the Tea Party Express to continue exercising his free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. He will encourage attendees at the tea party rallies to also exercise their own free speech rights and to contribute to the dialogue about the important policy issues now facing Americans.

I’m going to wear my very best t-shirt.

You're gonna wash it this time, right? ;)
