Not to get all suit-y on Jonah, but…the smaller, nominal fee is actually the ticket price . 75 bucks for drinks, food, and good times, hanging with some of your favorite NRO writers and conservative luminaries, policymakers, and more. It ain’t a bad deal in a world where anniversary type events (even NR’s!) tend to be black-tie type, rubber-chicken, pricey.

So no need to sneak in the back with Jonah!
