Did you guys get big fancy invitations to the Inaugural Ball, like I did?

Oh! Yes! My boyfriend did! Methinks you donated to the Obama campaign. He doesn’t want it, so I’m stealing it.

My boyfriend got one. It came with a thing saying he’s invited to the public events. Gee, good to know he can go to the same events as everyone else in the world. :)

hey it might be kinda dumb but its def nice they show their appreciation by sending something nice like that. If any of you don’t want your invitation send me a message and you can send it to me :)

@Likeradar: exactly. But
@LKidKyle: exactly.

Nobody’s getting mine. I did donate to the campaign with all my heart and I like having this slightly spurious response.

What!?!? I didn’t get one. And my family even donated to the Obama campaign. Maybe mine is in the mail. I will wait a few days before I get sad.

@Allie, if the donations were made in someone else’s name they probably got the invite
instead of you. Mine was issued to me and my (dead) husband so I don’t think they’re keeping such good track of every citizen.

…Well, I meant that nobody in my household has received one.

It might depend on how much you gave. My boyfriend got one, but his roommate did not. They both gave money, but the boyfriend gave significantly more.

@Allie, okay okay you can have ours then. Sheesh.

Oh wait, empress says you have to have paid up at a higher level. If that’s true, then
...
wow, I’m not sure I like this. This seems like some kind of invitation to all of us, a covert
one, to keep buying Obama regalia to support the party, MoveOn, and so on. I’m a little
tweezy about all this commercial activity. What is that? America ? What happened to One Man, One Vote? Shouldn’t there be One Man, One Fake Invitation to Inauguration?

I need to ask my mom how much she gave.. Hmm..

susanc: =D

@LKidKyle1985 – I agree with you, mostly. They’re a nice gesture and quite well done, and if he doesn’t want it I will certainly keep it for posterity. However, an invitation to public events? Really? I think they could have thought of a different way to say thanks to the Obama supporters. Oh well.

Ha I guess it’s kind of a cop out but what are you really going to give the millions of people who gave you money lol I dunno I guess a nice letter would have been fine, but it’s always cool to be invited some where by the new leader of the free world.

Are you going? What are you wearing?

I didn’t get one. (sniff!)

No, I didn’t get one. Darn it. ::kicks pebble::

@loser @aprilsimnel We can have a no-super-cool-Obama-invite-necessary party.

Haha…yes. I love that we were invited to public events.
An unorthodox and thoughtful gesture nonetheless.
(Not unlike the rest of their campaign.)

We also got an Obama print designed by Shepard Fairey.
Totally unexpected and pretty damn sweet.

@allie: Yeah! That sounds great!!! Parrrrraaaaaaaaayyy!!!

@allie – Yay! I’ll bring the Campari, Everclear and Blue Curaçao!
