We've also thrown the party twice sans alcohol, once in Toronto and once in Glasgow, because we simply could not afford to do so in either Canada or Scotland.
A major focus of the LoEG parties was the gallery (designed to spark conversation) and, of course, a bit of CC26 promotion. Both of those work quite well without ethanolic lubrication. It just happens that we both like sipping champagne, and, I must admit, had some great fun coming up with "experimental substances" for folks to try in very small quantities.
We started checking IDs and issuing wristbands at the door when the party started becoming very popular; it just was not practical to handle it at the point of service because that was already a choke point in the traffic flow.
