No. It has changed too much---and not for the better. The boxers are not as accessible and many of the non-boxers "celebs" act like real a-holes--as if anyone cared they were there. When a boxing writer can walk around with his nose in the air, it's time for me to stay away. But I used to love going there with a group of guys, cigars, and cameras.
Still, have a Basilio Sausage sandwich on me, a drink at Graziano's, some luck at Turning Stone, and have a great time. Hook up with the IBRO crowd if you can. They are good guys. Also, the memorabilia stuff at the HS used to be a good way of getting close to the boxers.
I always like the cocktail party but the dinner is a waste of money IMO. I also like the boxing, but they stopped that as well.
