It seems like they made an effort to move things along more quickly last night than they have in recent years. I don't even remember what time it ended, but seemed to not take as long (to me, anyway - my estimating might just be way off).
We only ended up with four celebrities, including Ed Wilson (WHO-TV) and Fiona Fonoti (assistant volleyball coach), who were both a lot of fun. But the three senior women's basketball players stopped by our table to say hi even though they weren't actually *at* our table, so we were able to get a couple of photos and chat between two of the early rounds. It kinda seemed like they were a little light on the total number of celebs this year. Oh, that big red bird dropped by the table during social hour, too. We offered a bite, but he'd already eaten.
Thought the food was pretty good (especially the pork), with a decent variety. Some of us had gathered in the early afternoon for lunch, so we weren't super hungry. I wanted to eat more last night since I liked what I'd tried, but also didn't want to roll myself out of Hilton at the end.
I didn't see any huge beer-amids this year. There was a smaller one going near where we were, and one that had a single 'spire' that got pretty tall, but that was about it. Overall, we thought it was another good evening for Cy's House.
