Some from the fan club and some not. Everyone who came was getting a folder filled with an autographed copy of Night Songs, a  letter talking about the album, photo of Barry Manilow and information about joining the the BMIFC. Barry had autographed all the CD's that went into every folder. Talk about getting writers cramp. Holy Mackerel! Tickets to get into the Metropolitan Room were $150 per person. Glasses of Merlot would be served in keepsake wine glasses. For those who did drink wine there would be sparkling red grape juice or ginger ale in the same keepsake wine glass. Barry decided to wear a white shirt, a navy three piece suit with a navy and thin slate blue striped tie. Later on in the evening Barry would undo his tie and take it off. Marc Hulett his manager was already at the Metropolitan Room checking things out. Marc wanted Barry to arrive in style in a limo. But Barry said no way. He would take the subway into Manhattan. Then catch a cab from the subway station to the Metropolitan Room. Barry told Marc I'm just not into limo's anymore. SUV's are more my style now. I'm just Barry Manilow normal guy. Not Barry Manilow celebrity even though I am one. Barry took Max and Maggie out to do their business. When they were done he let them back into the townhouse. He then went up stairs to get dressed. He went down stairs locked the front door and headed to the subway station to catch the subway into Manhattan.
