Jay Nordlinger knows where to go to attend a fun dinner party

That would be Indianapolis:

Can I give you a definition of a fun evening? Dinner at the home of Bob and Becky Kevoian, in Indianapolis, with dozens of their friends, in support of National Review. If you ever have a chance . . .
Bob is a national radio star — one half of Bob & Tom. He has a signature hat, an L.A. Dodgers cap. That got me to thinking that I should wear a Detroit Tigers cap more. Becky is a singer. Their home is like Thoreau on Walden Pond, but with amenities.
Their co-hosts for the evening were Whit and Deb Grayson. There were yet more Graysons there, all interesting and charming.
Most of the guests were business owners, who are sick of being demonized. By whom? Well, by the president, the Democratic party, and the culture at large. These business owners employ people — often hundreds or thousands of people. They create new jobs, new wealth, new security, all the time. They pay millions upon millions of dollars in taxes. They give millions upon millions to charity.
How are they the problem, again?

Nordlinger enjoyed the conversation between Becky and another lady in attendance  about their handguns.

He also became aware of Becky's being one third of a singing group called The Fun Girls.

I became aware of them shortly after their album Seduced was released.  I am musical friends with the producer of the project, Michael Clark, and the arranger and pianist, Steve Allee.  Michael sent me a copy of the CD and asked me to review it.  (I can't remember what venue I wrote the review for at the moment; when I do, I'll link to it.  The album is indeed fun: three-part-harmony treatments of some classic pop-rock tunes.  Some big names among the session players, too: Sam Bush, Vince Gill.)

So, I'm glad to hear Nordlinger had a good time in the Circle City.  It seems that things went south at the airport, though, in his dealings with the TSA.
