The Young and The Guest List

Thursday April 16th: What’s it like inside one the most crashed party in DC? Delicious.

Washington Life Magazine creates it’s annual list of DC’s 40 under 40. "In a city filled with some of the nation’s most dynamic young people, the 250 individuals who comprise this year’s Young & The Guest List repeatedly stand out; as leaders, risk-takers, givers, connectors, and changemakers," says the editors of WLM.

This year they featured our good Friend, up-and-coming DJ  Tommy. From that list they build an evening of glamour to honor these social royals.

From the 10^th floor of the Art-O-Matic building, event coordinator Andre Wells transformed the unfinished floor into a swanky loft.  With no less than four bars serving top shelf beverages that was just the collateral of a good time. From the couches socialites like Philippe Cousteau and  Luke Russert mingled while newsmen like Jamal Simmons and Patrick Gavin took a night off to be the story. Guests include Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates Yousef Al Otaiba, Caron Butler, Charles Percy Rockefeller, Brian Zimmerman, McPharlin Longyear Broderick, Amy Holmes and White House staff Yosi Sergent and David Washington.

Tommy did his show live from a table near the pedestals featuring live models . I ran into a few old friends: my little Tiffany Tabar, from my Hyatt days: Amal Zaari and made a few new ones – Tommy’s roommate : Sheryl, Anna Sproul and Adora Andy. Between dancing, jee-jawing and making the laps, Flax and I were able to squeeze in a little time for some checkers.
