If you’ve seen the two large white tents just north of Woodall Rodgers, on the edge of Victory, and wondered what they were for, it wasn’t the circus. The tents were erected to accommodate the groundbreaking for the MNS’ new building and to host last night’s big gala fundraiser. How’d it go, you ask? Check out Sweet Charity’s report. The only details that I’d add to her dispatch are these:
The missus and I were seated at dinner with a bunch of Hillwood guys. It was loud in that tent. But not so loud that they couldn’t hear me when I broke the ice by asking, “So what’s the deal, anyway, with Victory? You guys defaulted to the Germans, right?” One tablemate was kind enough to tell me all about the current state of affairs at Victory, but his comments were off the record. (Jealous?) Finally, Kent Rathbun catered. If I’m not mistaken, he’s lost weight. Looking good. And the short ribs were scrumptious.
