Inaugural Ball Qs

#1 Post by SportsFan68 » Sun Nov 09, 2008 3:55 pm

The local Dem PTBs are thinking about having our own Inaugural Ball.

All y'all with experience with this sort of thing, what's don't miss?

We're thinking that a big screen to show the new President giving an address at one of the Washington balls would be don't miss.

What else?

All suggestions welcome.

How fun!

What a great reason to get all dressed up.

I have little advice - just have fun, be pretty and have it be about the accomplishment.

As you may know, Beloved Son attends George Washington University.

Inauguration Day is a holiday in DC, everything's closed, including GWU, which holds an inauguaral ball. Beloved Son has already made his reservation and will bring his tux.

The President and VP are invited. No odds on whether they will show.
I am about 25% sure of this.
