Who in the real world gets invited to five parties in one evening? Even in these hard times, most of the regular NPRA parties were still on, even if some of them were a bit sparsely attended and doorkeepers were rather less strict about keeping uninvited guests out. Of course, everyone lamented the absence of the LyondellBasell casino party, but the Blog hears that delegates managed to grab a few moments to enjoy themselves nonetheless.
Here they are, the Blog's awards for Top NPRA parties 2009:
Most glamorous party: The Vopak party in the Presidential Suite on the 37th floor of the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel, with a musical duo complete with tinkling piano.
Best sushi party: Mitsubishi cocktail with wall to wall sushi.
Best afternoon party: ICIS open house cocktails on Sunday afternoon.
Best after-hours party: Gantrade's late-night party at Michelino's, complete with endless margaritas and a C&W band.
Best outdoor party: The Kolmar party on an unexpectedly warm evening under a spreading tree in the stone courtyard of the San Antonio Plaza.
