A Night Out: The Young and the Guest List

By Garrett M. Graff

Who: The swank and hip young social set—as determined by Washington Life, ranging from journalists to lawyers to social fixtures Phillippe Cousteau and Carlos Gutierrez Jr.—and busloads (literally) of socialites.

Where: Multiple secret, undisclosed locations.

When: Thursday, January 31, 8 PM.

Scene: Guests met first at the St. Regis, where there was a perfectly nice party for 90 minutes before everyone was forced to reclaim their coats, board buses, and depart for secret location No. 1: Halycon House, in Georgetown, where a carnival theme put together by event planner André Wells (one of Washingtonian’s best dressed men!) awaited them. The after-party involved reboarding the buses for Josephine’s downtown. The only drawback of the otherwise wonderful evening was the repeated checking and claiming of coats.

Food: Loads of food, including sushi and delicious chocolate-covered fruit. Endless passed hors d’oeuvres.

Drink: Above average, with the exception of a 10 Cane Rum “foam mojito” that may have been the most foul drink ever conceived by man. Veuve Clicquot flowed in great abundance (to the tune of nearly a bottle per person over the course of the night), and rum and tonics were the drink of the evening.

How You Could Tell If You Were Cool: You were given the address ahead of time so you didn’t have to meet at the St. Regis.

Ratings:
Exclusivity: 4.5 out of 5
Food and drink: 4.5 out of 5
Boldface names: 3 out of 5
Swankiness: 4 out of 5
Total score: 16 out of 20

In DC, If you’re not in the "in crowd", you really aren’t anything. I have to say, it’s kind of hard for me to look at all of these good looking, rich, popular people. Would they even like each other if they weren’t "someone". Or maybe that’s why they like each other.I want to be invited to these events. How????
