Edward Easton has been in the venue since 9 in the morning. He wanted to be hands-on as it was his first time to host an event filled with noble personages. The phonograph was his first personal business venture and it proved to be a tremendous success.
Although his family was filthy rich, it still gave him a different feeling of satisfaction and sense of accomplishment to have his own achievement.
After much consideration, he chose the Langham hotel located in the middle of the capital for it was the most luxurious hotel in the capital that was befitting to cater the personages in his guest list. Although it was not gated, the area had tight security.
By 11, he left for an early lunch. Upon his return, although the registration was supposed to start at 1 in the afternoon, there were already people dressed to the nines lining up.
