About Guest List
Guest List is Washingtonian’s fantasy cast of who we’d like to invite over for dinner each month.

Jared Mezzocchi
The Silver Spring projection designer has become an in-demand director for Zoom productions by theaters across the country.
Ketanji Brown Jackson
A longtime DC federal judge, she’s Biden’s nominee to replace Merrick Garland on the Court of Appeals—and is talked about as a future Supreme Court pick.
Neil King
The former Wall Street Journal reporter’s walk from DC to New York became a social-media hit.
Sugar Bear Elliot
The DC musician wasn’t even watching the Oscars when he and his band E.U. were name-checked by Glenn Close.
Disinvited! Brood X
The cicadas are driving our dinner guests inside. Go away for another 17 years, please.
