Online Question-Answer I offered to Dan Zak, WASHINGTONPOST reporter at WHCD (Sat. 4/30)

from Onliine chat-discussion (5/2/2011) -- posted at Reliable Source -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/

Venue: the Washington DC Hilton


I didn't understand the joke made by Seth Myers about the location of the dinner being the "Hilton"; is this a tacky joint or some other kicked-around place or just a kind of "we love it and so we complain about it"?

A.Dan Zak :

I think "the Hilton" conjures images of the comfortable-but-not-glamorous. It's not the White House. The dinner was in a multi-purpose "ballroom." And it was very crowded
