Thanks for the great comments everyone. Over 900 invitations were sent out in September for the event. This was a open event, tickets were available to anyone who made a request to purchase one. Call me anytime, or email me and I would love to put you on our mailing list. We do have something else in the works, so stay tuned for a possible spring event!

Vivian – for what it’s worth, Dickie Cranwell’s story about the “group of large women” in the House of Delegates gallery is true, except that it wasn’t Lionell Spruill who said it.

As for the Republican SUV, when I was mingling outside the VIP area with the common folk, I ran into a former employee of the Norfolk registar’s office who I know. She introduced me to her new husband, a lobbyist for Associated Distrubutors, who leans GOP but works both sides of the aisle. It’s a tough life, I guess.

I don’t think it was invite only. One of my buddies bought a couple of tickets to the event. I don’t know who had tickets or how that was done.

Thank you Vivian for your report. I would have liked to have gone, but I’m getting the impression it was invite only?

Chris – I don’t know how the word got out. I got an invitation in late September.

Now why no one told me of this event escapes me?
I would have loved to have been there if I had known!
