We're counting the days now until President Bush's second Inaugural this Thursday. Tickets are still available for the hottest Inaugural Ball in D.C. Come join us for the Free Republic W2 Inaugural Ball featuring Gov. Huckabee and his rock and roll band, Capitol Offense.
In addition to saluting President Bush and Vice President Cheney, the ball will pay tribute to the men and women serving in our armed forces.
Price of admission is $200 per person, $250 at the door.
Included in the admission price is a full course dinner, served buffet style with seating, open bar from 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., free coat check and reduced parking charge at the hotel.
Registration starts at 6:30 p.m. The ball starts at 7 p.m. The program begins at 8 p.m.
A rough outline of the program:
Presentation of the colors by the St. John's College High School JROTC.
Pledge of Allegiance, Star Spangled Banner, invocation.
Toasts to the President and the service branches.
Free Republic video presentation by Sauropod.

This is an evening you will not want to miss. Many of our friends in the conservative community will be attending the ball, as will many of your fellow FReepers. Hope to see you there!
They were great posters. I am humbly honored to have actually handled one. I'll never wash my hands again.
Fantastic! See you Thursday, then, Mud.
#102 was for you, JVb!
Some day I will attend one of these events. I would love to meet you all in person. You guys have such a great time together (judging from the after-event reports I've read) . Someday.....I wish today was someday(sigh..). We'll just have to elect a Republican in 08 so I can go to the Freeper's Ball then (LOL).
For those of us who can't go- Please post lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of photos and reports ;-)
I've read that there might be a live thread from the event? That would be great.
Have a wonderful time everyone, and a great big heart felt THANK YOU to Jim Rob and company for such a terrific web site! Congratulations to president Bush!
I did spellcheck to be certain!
SUPER BUMP
Ping!
Still time to get your tickets if you haven't already!
Hope to see you all there!!
You guys have a good time for us.
A Big Ball Bump Back to the Top!
Thanks again for all you guys do. Looking forward to meeting everyone!!
T-3 and counting!
SEE YA THERE!
Any chance you can post a list of Freepers who bought tickets, so we can get some idea in advance of who to look out for?
Hey Doug, how are ya? Are you coming to the ball? I'll be there. Hope to see ya.
I will be there. We'll be doing two hours for rightalkradio.com. This is going to be so fun, particularly because the whackjob left is so unhappy.
earrings or pins what?
Oh good. I'll come looking for you. ;)
You mean to tell me a troll really and truly showed up on a Ball thread???????
that's the pits.
I can't wait for Thursday!
A scarrry, scarrry troll who is probably about 13 years old, judging from the silliness of his post. Let's hope his Mommy puts him to bed soon.
