St. Paul Scoop: Google Party Still A Go
One of the most highly anticipated parties at the Republican National Convention remains on track for later this week despite growing concerns and widespread scheduling changes in Minneapolis and St. Paul as Hurricane Gustav powered toward Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center expected the storm to hit southwest of New Orleans on Monday.
Organizers for the exclusive, invite-only bash sent an email to attendees Sunday evening confirming their presence at the event and offering logistics for how to pick up the all-important admission cards. The email added: "Like all Americans, we are monitoring the situation in the Gulf States with great concern and will keep you apprised of any implications Hurricane Gustav may have for Thursday evening."
Some wondered whether the get-together sponsored by the Internet giant and lifestyle magazine, which are both known for hosting over-the-top affairs, might turn into a more subdued hurricane relief benefit. The pair also hosted a party at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo.
