Any interest in an official Free Republic Trump Inaugural Ball?

Is there going to be a Freeper Inaugural Ball? I'd be happy to help organize, etc.

Just a hopeful vanity. Any chance Freepers might decide to organize an Inaugural Ball in their respective areas when Mr. Trump wins? That having been said, I may not even be able to attend (I am caretaker for my elderly mom), but I sure would if I could! Last time I got together with Freepers, we were in Florida trying to save Terri's life. Before that, I was with you in front of Gore's mansion shouting, "Get out of Cheney's House!"

What is the Misfits Ball? Glenn announced on radio this morning that he plans to have a ball on Inauguration Day full of people who are no longer welcome in Obama’s Washington D.C. (editor’s note: We aren’t sure if the “That Guy” rule applies to digital, which is why we will occasionally mention the President by name until Glenn stops us). The event will be black tie, take place in the Dallas Studios, and Glenn is open to suggestions for the invite list. Some of the names thrown out there so far: Chik-Fil-A (not a person, Glenn), Hobby Lobby (again,...

According to TSO who was at the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball”, this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that’s 14 Inaugurations). TSO is one of the Mil-bloggers at "This Ain't Hell". A tradition for over a half century until "The Loser" with his nose in the air snubbed the Medal of Honor winners.

Excerpt - When I want to relax and unwind, there’s nothing I enjoy more than picking up my bass guitar and rocking with my band “Capitol Offense.” We’ve played at a presidential inaugural ball and opened for the likes of Willie Nelson and Dionne Warwick. Of all the great gigs I’ve played, I have to say some of my most memorable music sessions were when I had the privilege of jamming with Arkansas Blues Legend John Weston. Whether on the corner over at Bubba’s Blues Corner in Helena, my hometown of Hope, or in Little Rock, it was always a...

I heard something on the radio today about Condi looking very nice ... I thought the comment was about her being seen at the Inaugural ball, but I may be wrong. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee likes to rock. And he’s bringing his bass guitar to Washington, plus some strong political ambitions. Huckabee’s eight-member group, Capitol Offense, is the only band with a sitting governor as leader. It will play at an inaugural ball hosted by the Web site Free Republic. In 2001, the band played for a party at George W. Bush’s first inauguration. Last summer, they jammed at a Republican National Convention party. “We play the tunes baby boomers danced to during high school and college,” says Huckabee, 49. “We try to bring back good memories and make new ones.”...
