I'd say our turnout is comparable to last year's. Maybe between 2,200 and 2,500.

See, we even got a triple A from the mayor.

You know, I don't know why it's never been themed Southern Style before. It does seem to evoke a certain graciousness specific to food and attitude.

There will be a very special surprise at the end of the evening that we're trying to pull off for the guests.
