At the Ball!
It’s time for the ball! What a production! What an occasion! First, a little backstory. The night before the Inauguration, the balls begin. I am attending the Illinois Inaugural Gala, a non-partisan event featuring the state leadership, minus our impeached governor. We applied on line for the tickets (10 in all). Our check cleared about two weeks ago and the tickets arrived, literally, a few days ago. So here we are, with 6,000 of our best Obama-loving friends.
More to come… You won’t want to miss the Lindsay Lohan and Stevie Wonder sightings, the swag bags, the butter pats shaped like the Capitol Dome!!!

Daire and I have been along for the ride this weekend! Daire wore his first evening clothes (gorgeous, per his mother), and we were all on our best behaviour. Stevie Wonder was spotted in the lobby - as were many beautifully dresssed Illinois citizens. The Schmitz/Boyle family was stellar on the dance floor - Devin was getting down! Evanston was more than well represented!! Gabrielle Buckley
