Some questions:
Are the hosts famous as well as wealthy? Or are they the "sons" of someone famous?
How many people attended this shindig?
No one ever advised you against talking politics and religion with strangers?
From what I gathered, they worked for what they got and are extremely loyal and generous to those they call friends. Many were friends for over 20 years.
(Edit: Oh you're referring to the 'fortunate sons' comment.... I don't think that was a reference to the hosts, more that she was blown away at the house and it's location, they were "fortunate" sons )
They expected upwards to 50...I didn't count, but it had to be around 30. Some guests showed up very late and missed the show but had the opportunity to talk with Haley, take a picture, and get a CD signed.
Trust me, we were kindred in the love of thoughtful discourse. There is nothing wrong with debate as long as it's not emotional or personal. Point counterpoint can be as exhilirating as coming off a long run. Your brain is a muscle, so when it get's a work out, it can hit you like endorphin hits those that enjoy excercising.
