Nothing's wrong with the tried and true, but the success of Saturday Night Alive 27 was due in large part to a number of new twists.
Aaron and Sandee LaPedis were the youngest couple to chair this benefit for the Arts in Education programs of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts; their acceptance of the leadership position was contingent on being able to have a big say when it came to selecting the headline entertainment; and members of the Denver Center Alliance [1] were asked to serve as table hostesses, responsible for filling one or more tables for the black-tie function.
Venturing into new territory paid off handsomely, with a net profit "in excess of" $600,000. The silent auction alone brought in a record $227,000.
The LaPedises are big fans of the Neville Brothers and lobbied hard to get the New Orleans-based blues-and-funk group to perform at SNA. The Nevilles came and wowed the 775-member audience with a concert that brought two standing ovations before it had finished and a prolonged Standing O at the end.
Afterward, at a VIP meet-and-greet held in DCPA Chairman Dan Ritchie's office, the brothers remarked how pleased they were with the response. "Coming here to play to an exclusive group of theater lovers, we didn't know what to expect," Aaron Neville confided. "We didn't know if y'all would be just sitting there all stiff and lookin' at us. But you guys really got into our music. It was great."
Restaurateur Ed Novak and his wife, Gayle, chaired the silent auction and will be at the helm of Saturday Night Alive 28. The centerpiece item was a 2007 Lincoln, which Sharon Whiton Gelt [2] bought as a present for her husband, Ted. Another popular item was a walk-on part in a Denver Center Theatre Company play; when bidding reached a frenzy, artistic director Kent Thompson [3] OKd the auctioning of three parts, which were snapped up for $7,000 each by Mike Karmil, Jack Overstreet [4] and Alex Cranberg.
Overstreet co-chaired SNA's corporate committee with Roger Hutson and Mark Sexton [5].
Perhaps the most popular component of the silent auction was the sale of festively wrapped Surprise Boxes. Carol Phipps alone purchased 8 of them, landing such goodies as a getaway weekend, dining out certificates and theater tickets.
SNA 27 also marked the first time that the DCPA's founder and chairman, Donald R. Seawell, was not the event's chief adviser. Seawell recently relinquished the chairmanship to former University of Denver Chancellor Dan Ritchie, who was there with Joy Burns, the head of DU's board of trustees. Seawell was at the gala with Marvin and Judi Wolf.
"I cannot imagine how tonight could be any better," Ritchie said as he noted the arrival of such longtime DCPA supporters as Allan and Margot Frank, Eddie and Dina Altman, Ed Dwight, Jack and Adrienne Fitzgibbons, Deborah and Dr. Stan Loftness, Bob and Carole Slosky [6], and Jim and Allison Shetter.
Fran Berlin arrived all tanned and rested from a Mexican holiday; Linda Bowen Scott [7] was accompanied by her teenage daughter, Katrina, and sat with a group that included Liz and David Frawley [8], Charleen and Jerry Dunn, and Roselyn Saunders.
Others enjoying the action-packed evening were BJ and Dr. Don Hoch; artist Kang Cho; Joni and John Goheen; jeweler Ralph Klomp and his wife, Anne; Graham and Heather Benes; Betty and Bill Buchanan; Helenn and Joe Franzgrote; Faye and Dr. Reginald Washington; Caroline Karlin [9]; Debbie and Nick Lepetsos; Bonnie and David Mandarich; Alby Segal with Katharine Gold; Mary and Barry Berlin; Saks Fifth Avenue [10] director Kay Cline; Ed and Elizabeth Byrnes Crony; Gail and George Johnson [11]; Julie and John Kucera; Jean and Michael Micketti; and Elizabeth and Ric Padilla.

I note that it has some control characters in it (see man etags). One
obvious difference is that ctags produces <tags> files and etags
produces <TAGS> files. You can determine if your vim has emacs-tags
support by:
:version (and looking for +emacs_tags in the output)
or by typing
:echo has("emacs_tags")
So, are your tags files <tags> or <TAGS>? Still, I have +emacs_tags
support with the vim I've compiled, but regular tags work for both
<tags> and <TAGS>, so I'm not sure that this is the kernel of your problem.
