Since this will be my first holiday gathering with the RCAC, I hope you'll forgive this rookie question. But after seeing all the N&O articles about the $9,800+ City Council party, I've been having nightmares about walking into the room and seeing an ice sculpture of Sir Walter Raleigh, oysters with real pearls, and vintage champagne at our celebration.

Please tell me that the Ritziest thing there will be the crackers. Or that Ana has already promised to pay for it all from her campaign fund.
