OK so i knew last night would be out of the ordinary since it was at the W hotel, and a DCCC fundraiser, but i had no idea exactly how unusual it would be.
First off the W hotel is pretty unique looking and had the most ridiculous cheese plates ever. The slices of cheese were like 1/3rd of the block of cheese, and no knives were available to cut down the size! that was weird.
Second there were a handful of congressmen and women there, even a few that I mildly recognized (including big nan at the end)
Third Orleans played a bunch of songs well, but people were trying to talk so for the purpose of the fundraiser it was a little bit loud. At one point I noticed this guy that looked kinda out of place. While everyone was in suits or business casual, this guy had on a very colorful button down shirt, sunglasses, and jet black dyed hair, and overly tan skin....but then it all made sense when he got up on stage and did a few songs with the band. The guy turned out to be Jimi Jamison from the band survivor.
The other weird part was that the staff of the W hotel REALLY wants to help out. I mean i know they have a whatever whenever policy, but this was extreme. The waiters and waitresses carrying the food wouldn't just casually approach the group you were talking to, they singled out every person individually. Then the people who clear the cups etc REALLY wanted to take empty glasses, so one tried to take peter's cup from him while it was still full, and when he declined they made him at least give them his dirty napkin and toothpick. Lastly when I didnt want anything at the bar the bartender later left the bar to find me to ask if I was sure I didnt want anything. So A+ for W hotel service....I guess.
