I went to one in Philadelphia and it felt like Woody's, deconstructed and reassembled in a conference hall. Same boys, nicer clothes. I also went to one in DC and it was full of everyone talking about how close they were to people in Obama's administration. "My friend is the assistant undersecretary of jock straps, and he says ...". That sort of thing.
The food SUCKED at both events. But I guess the point is to spend all the money on advancing gay rights and not on the actual dinner.
