$300 To Have Dinner with Fred Dicker ?

Wow, if you want to break bread with Liz and company, it's pretty pricey....$300 for a ticket to the Legislative Correspondents Association dinner at which they perform skits making fun of Albany pols. Who goes to these things ? I am sure the same people who attend all the other fundraisers in the capital every night of the week this time of year. While I know these affairs are supposed to highlight the comity and fraternity among scribes, can't you do that over beer and pizza after work on a Friday ? This kind of price tag suggests reporters are perhaps a little full of themselves, just like the people they cover. Oh, and on an unrelated subject, the famous 'Charlie's Angels' photo taken last year of the Cap Tonight team is now a collectors piece....I read that reporter Kaitlyn Ross left Albany for a gig in sunny Florida.
