Cap File’s White Party

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007


Wonkette Roving Videographer Liz Glover keeps going to weird parties full of weird people and then sending us video from them. This is Capitol File’s “White Party” (AREN’T THEY ALL HA HA HA), a benefit for Corcoran. MORE »


The Capitol File “Little Black Book” Party

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Last week, Capitol File magazine declared a bunch of losers to be the most notable singles in Washington and then they threw them a party.

Your humble editor is decidedly neither eligible nor notable. Liz Glover, though, might be, so we sent her, along with the decidedly notable Liz Gorman, to drink with the douchebags. Above, L. Glover’s video of the night. After the jump, her report, sort of. And, of course, a lovely gallery of Liz Gorman pictures are all included at no additional cost to you, the reader. Enjoy!

Wonkette Party Crash: Bo Derek at Cafe Milano

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

IMG_1074.JPGHere’s Bo Derek with two sleazy guys who made very clumsy passes at Liz.

Last night, Wonkette cabbed it over to Cafe Milano to hobnob with the glamorous stars of DC in what turned out to still be August. The reason? Alcohol and boredom! Oh, and Capitol File was hosting a party for Bo Derek to help launch a new tv network from NewsCorp! You get all that?

All the fabulous pictures (courtesy, as always, Liz Gorman, Intrepid Girl Reporter) and half-recalled anecdotes (courtesy Maker’s Mark), after the jump.

Wonkette Party Crash: The Kennedy Center Presents Court TV

Friday, May 5th, 2006

Wednesday night, if you can think back that far, was an absolutely gorgeous evening. We spent part of it enjoying the hospitality of Court TV and Capitol File, soaking in the panoramic views from the Kennedy Center’s roof deck — as well as some sweet-but-not-too-sweet, lemon-flavored libation.

The occasion for the festivities? The opening of Court TV’s Washington bureau, featuring Savannah Guthrie, Fred Graham, producer Bryan Lavietes, and a dozen other staffers.

We said hello to all the usual suspects, hinted to the Court TV folks that we’d love to be on TV — even if it means getting yelled at by Nancy Grace — and loaded up on sushi.

After the jump, pictures from the event (amateur shots by one of your editors, not photos by Liz Gorman, that Super-Hot Girl Reporter). Plus, our report card on the proceedings. Check it all out here.

Wonkette Party Crash: WHCD Afterparties

Monday, May 1st, 2006

177-7730_IMG.JPGHere is all the money that’s not being spent on hiring more reporters.

The afterparty report, drunker and therefore more hazily-recalled than the pre-party report, but full of glorious Liz Gorman photography, is yours for the taking, after the jump.

Wonkette Party Crash: Sports Talk With Carville and Russert fils

Friday, April 14th, 2006

So, you ladies want your own radio show?

We weren’t expecting too much when we were invited to a party at the XM Satellite Radio studios — big brick building in an ugly part of town, people not attractive enough for real radio, etc. — but the soirĂ©e was sponsored by Capitol File and it was for the spawn of Tim Russert, so it was packed fulla the media elite and their hangers-on, dressed in a confused amalgam of fancy and casual that DC still can’t quite pull off.

Still, we had a good time — mostly because the open bar was one the best-stocked we’ve seen so far (Makers! Beam Black! Turkey!), but also because James Carville kind of hit us on the shoulder and growled something unintelligible-but-maybe-threatening as he passed by us to refill his drink. Our full report, complete with exclusive pictures from Liz Gorman, Intrepid Girl Reporter, after the jump.
