The Western States Ball



The big party ended with 11 celebrations which are billed as "balls."  I am not sure if you can have a ball for 11,000 people, but we bravely went to see what it was all about.  Tim got into black tie and fortified himself with two cocktails at once.   The big thrill about the balls is that Barack and Michelle show up and dance.  I did wear the brown outfit and it was certainly a stand out.  Most women were in real long strapless numbers with high heels and the whole works.  We didn't stay that long.  It was just unbelievably bizarre.  Kind of like the prom on steroids and the Convention Center could certainly have doubled as the gym.  So, we did it.  
I will send a few follow up blogs with details and some more photos.....but, for now......Obama is in Charge.  On with the show!
