It's coming! Washington's BEST Party is back, and YOUR chance to get tickets before invitations even go out is here! Your o-n-l-y chance to pick up $65 Earlybird-priced tickets to the 1998 SCP Fedewa New Year's Eve Party with Gonzo's Nose (http://www.gonzosnose.com) will be tomorrow, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9TH, from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the first floor Restaurant and Bar of the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City, 1250 S. Hayes Street, in Arlington (directions and details are available at http://www.scp.org/hotel.html). Please note that the regular ticket price is $75, and this price will rise to $85 on or before December 29th without further notice (check http://www.scp.org/tickets.html for more). Tickets can only be reserved with payment. Tickets may also be available online at the $65 rate until midnight Wednesday, December 9th, but we are experiencing some technical difficulties and recommend that you contact your Host or Hostess for further information. We expect the online system to be functioning shortly, so please check back often. This is a private party, and all online sales are subject to verification by the Host Committee; full and prompt refunds will be issued as conditions warrant. The Main Event is black tie optional and features a full, open bar, hors d'ouevres by the award-winning culinary geniuses of the Ritz-Carlton, the hip, eclectic party and dance music of regional favorites, Gonzo's Nose, and the five-star banquet space and room accommodations of the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City. You'll never see coat line wars, desperate brawls, or slow pours at our Event, just one, big happy group of partygoing friends! A "4 Days `Til Midnight" countdown party will be held right after Christmas to continue the countdown to New Year's Eve (see our Website at http://www.scp.org/4DTM.html for more). This will be your last chance to meet other friends going to The Party and enjoy the balance of a computer-glitch free year over a few beers. Formed to promote community events, the SCP is a 501(c)(7) non- profit, non-stock Virginia corporation, and event proceeds benefit charity. Past SCP events have been held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, McLean Gardens, Mike Bakers, Hotel Washington, Starboard (Dewey Beach), Thompsons Boat House, Rhodeside Grill, Music City Roadhouse, King Pepper, Tortilla Coast, Head's, Clarendon Grill, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and America at Union Station. Before that? We were in the `rents' basement!
