A Night of Culinary Glamour
Friday, Sept 1st
6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
McGowan Residence
43564 Tuckaway Place
Leesburg, VA 20176
We have the pleasure of celebrating at the residence of Julie & Murph (Michael) McGowan, graced by their delightful daughter Lily. Grandmom Lorraine happens to live there, too! Their home is not only designed for grand gatherings but also offers a beautiful vista of the Potomac River.
Gate Entry:
For a seamless arrival, have your photo ID at the ready. Inform the gatekeeper of your first and last name, and that you're visiting Michael McGowan using the provided address.
Parking:
Elegantly line your vehicles along Tuckaway Pl. Should the night inspire you to stay in the nearby opulence of a hotel, we only request you to collect your vehicle before 10:00 a.m. the following morning. You may, however, receive a warning ticket on your car (not a legitimate ticket). Just a heads up!
An Evening of Culinary Elegance and Discovery
Prepare to be whisked away on a gastronomic journey curated by our distinguished chef team Jon & Greg. This night promises not just a meal, but an immersive cooking class experience where flavors dance and culinary secrets are unveiled. Glimpse the menu and anticipate a soirée where every course tells a story, each bite is a revelation, and you, dear guest, are at the heart of this delicious narrative.
Meet Your Fellow Guests
Uh oh . . . something doesn't seem quite right?
Darn. Looks like AI got ahold of your bios and created an image of you that it felt was appropriate. Looks like we'll have to sort it out at the party with GUESS WHO: AI EDITION
Important note: For security and privacy reasons, no personally identifiable information or photos were given to AI to create this game. I curated your bios and replaced proper nouns/location references/job titles with vague information.
