By Mary O'Leary and Angela Carter Register Staff HARTFORD -- There were old friends, new friends and potential rivals, dining together and just getting along.
Three beautiful young women arrive with their escorts - Schwerner, Goodman and Chaney. Ms. Viola Liuzzo flew in from Michigan, exclaiming, "I could not miss this." Richard Pryor promised to be on his best behavior. "But I can't make any guarantees for Redd Foxx and Moms Mabley," he chuckled. Joe Louis just faked a quick jab to the chin of Jack Johnson, who smiled broadly while slipping it. We saw Billy Eckstine and Nat King Cole greet Luther Vandross. James Brown and Josh Gibson stopped at Walter Payton's table to say hello. Dueling bands? Anytime Duke Ellington and Count Basie get together, you know the place will be jumping. Tonight is special, of course, so we have Miles, Dizzy, and Satchmo sitting in on trumpet, with Coltrane, Cannonball, and Bird on sax. Everyone's attention is dir...
Everyone is so happy. I have never seen so many happy people in my life," said Lorraine Aronson, longtime state official and wife of Tim Bannon, chief of staff to Malloy. Members of the Washington delegation were also there, including U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn., and two potential rivals for his seat in 2012, U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, D-5, and U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2. U.S. Rep. John Larsen, D-1, and new U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal also made the trip from Washington for the event. Frank Alvarado of New Haven, head of the Spanish American Merchants Association, had high praise for the ball. "This was a long time coming. This is as much fun as the Obama inaugural," Alvarado said, referring to the Hispanic Ball that was held in Union Station inWashington, D.C., in 2008.
Sundance had already shown interest in doing a festival in Carmel and Artworks wanted to do an art show," he adds. "So I thought, why not combine the two? And I couldn't be. happier. The September Issue (Saturday, 8pm at Sunset Center) follows the Vogue editorin-chief Anna Wintour, as she prepares for the magazine's largest issue ever: the four-pound, more than 800-page, 2007 fall-fashion issue. We've come to know the Wintour caricature created by Meryl Streep's performance in The Devil Wears Prada, but the real life editor may prove that writer Lauren Weisberger's caricature of Wintour is nothing more than fiction. Yes, Wintour makes sure she is always involved and her opinion is interjected into every page of the issue, but she is the editor. A Q&A with director R.J. Cutler foll...
Westbrook's newly elected Mayor Colleen Hilton generated headlines and stirred community debate after making quick changes to a number of city departments upon taking office. But on Jan. 9 at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland, the focus was celebration rather than politics as more than 300 of her friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers, city officials and supporters gathered for Westbrook's Inaugural Ball. The mayor, dressed in a shimmering silver gown, greeted the hundreds of guests as they filed into the ballroom for an evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing. Hosting an inaugural ball has been a Westbrook tradition for a number of years, yet I've been unable to find anyone who knows when it started.
No offense intended to the Charleston Civic Center, but Dennis Nothaft hopes that folks who attend the inaugural ball for Gov. Joe Manchin tonight forget theyre in a big, boxy arena. Were going to try to make the Civic Center go away, said Nothaft, whose special events company, Dennis Nothaft LLC, recently moved from New Jersey to Clarksburg. Heres how Nothaft and the inaugural ball committee intend to do that: Special lighting, fabric draping, ice sculptures and huge photographs celebrating West Virginias four seasons. Interspersed with all of this celebrating is a message, Nothaft said. The message, delivered from the governor and first lady is Celebrating the Journey: A New West Virginia. Committee members under the direction of retired state worker Janet Howard met with first lady G...
