DC knows how to get down!
This is where I keep track of all the press I get at DC galas parties. Fortunately, the peeps at Fired Up! Missouri help me keep track of all this. What would I do without them?

Bloomberg News Hosts “Party Of The Year” !!!
This is me arriving at the Bloomberg News Party after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Oh Six. Where else but in Washington, DC?
So fresh and so clean.

Blunt is a full-fledged member of the Republican insiders club, having served in House GOP leadership for years. A close ally of President George W. Bush, he was a chief architect of the $700 billion bank bailout bill. One mentor was former House majority leader Tom DeLay.
Wish I had a good response to this.

OUCH!
“It probably seemed innocuous at the time. An invitation comes for a black-tie party to launch the remodeled version of the grocery store where the yuppies and the swells get their food in the swanky Georgetown section of Washington, D.C.
“But Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) isn’t just any Capitol Hill fixture. He’s a candidate for the Senate, and partying with the fancy folk — with cameras rolling — gives his opponents a chance to show how far removed Blunt’s weekday world is from the Food4Less in Joplin, Mo.”

Nothing says you’re not from Missouri anymore than being a regular at the Social Safeway in Georgetown.
Sad but true.

“There’s ‘The List’ and ‘The A-List.’ Now comes the ‘Social Safeway List.’”
Of course I’m on it. Of course I am.

“Hundreds of men and women enjoyed lunch of chilled avocado and cucumber soup, grilled tenderloin and cinnamon churros with roasted balsamic strawberries in a flower-filled tent where the cold white wine was as welcomed as the fans whirring around the edges. It was a warm, sunny day, in contrast to last year’s luncheon, which is probably why the swag was a beautiful red umbrella. Just in case.”

POLITICO CLICK: Social Safeway’s bubbly fete
FACT: “We live pretty close to here.”
“Probably not since the last time P. Diddy hit St. Tropez’s Club 55 has the Louis Roederer Cristal, the Dom Perignon and the vintage Veuve Clicquot flowed as freely as they did tonight at the gala opening of Georgetown’s rebuilt Safeway supermarket. Supermarket? Yes, indeed.
“… I would not judge the new Safeway by tonight’s soiree. It was luxurious and extravagant, yes, and perhaps a bit out of touch with the times, but it was also a brilliant marketing move to get attention for the store. In the end, its a supermarket, but with lots more than it had before. Its a good thing for Georgetown. And, no small detail, its open 24 hours.”
WASHINGTON POST: With a VIP gala opening, Georgetown’s Social Safeway is back on the market
“Washington, meet the Socialtini. The new signature martini debuted before Georgetown glitterati Wednesday night at an exclusive VIP gala awash in stiletto heels and Dom Perignon. A Belvedere vodka fountain and brie were flown in from Paris. A white-jacketed sommelier dashed among 10 wine bars pouring Louis Roederer Cristal and Robert Mondavi Reserve to show off the host’s 2,500-bottle, climate-controlled cellar.”
