How come this was not publicized? How did anyone find out about this event?

My understanding was it was a private event for his supporters. We found out about it last week and received an invitation to cover it. Since it was by invitation only, the Paul staff chose not to publicize it in general, which I guess is their call. One might guess that, since his organizational funds are limited, they might not want to foot the bill for several dinners. That's only analytic speculation.
