Since WisPolitics bailed early, I guess it’s up to me to do the day-after Hospitality Suite awards.
Best food: Paul Ryan’s suite. In addition to the de rigeur cold-meats-and-cheese cracker spread, there were chicken wings, Swedish meatballs, potstickers, quesadillas, and spring rolls.
Best beverage: Jack Voight’s leaded slushees. It was the alcohol that made me actually like tea.
Best motif: J.B. Van Hollen’s hunting decorations took the cake. He even had an arcade hunting game there. Honorable mention goes to Voight’s suite with a heap of Tea Party signs and some post-bailout logos (I HOPE that TwitPic turned out).
THE WINNER!: Call me a sucker for intimate gatherings, but I have to give it to Voight’s suite. He was on the small end of the suite run, and nobody wanted to disturb the big lemon “Thank you” cake he had, but effort like that cannot be forgotten.
