Wonkette Party Crash: Radicals for Capitalism Book Party

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

There was a party Friday night for Reason magazine Senior Editor Brian Doherty’s new book Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement. The over-partied duo of Liz Gorman and Intern Nick were given strict instructions to play nice with the Libertarians, while doing reconnaissance on the hot new Reason offices near Dupont Circle.

Your photo gallery is right here and your party report, featuring Nick’s wide-eyed fascination with and slight fear of libertarians, is after the jump.

Wonkette Party Crash: Hotline Says Good-bye To Chuck Todd

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Buh-bye! - WonketteHotline and National Journal threw a good-bye party for ex-Hotline EIC Chuck Todd last night and we crashed the party. Chuck’s got another baby on the way — and insider political magazines don’t provide a whole lot of Pampers. So he’s trading in all those years of integrity for a few nice suits and Brian Williams’ orange tan.

Follow Liz Gorman, Girl Reporter, and Intern Nick as their shoulders soak up the tears of the many scorned “acolytes” of Chuck “Show Me the Money” Todd, after the jump. And yes, there’s a photo gallery, too!

Wonkette Party Crash: Michael Musto’s Book Party

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Events like last night’s pretend book thing for Michael Musto’s La Dolce Musto are exactly the reason we keep party-boy Intern Nick on retainer. Because sometimes, some parties demand Wonkette treatment, but your editor doesn’t actually want to hang out with Jeff Gannon, Karen Feld, and Some Creepy Blogger.

He didn’t go alone, of course — Liz Gorman, Girl Reporter tagged along for the ride and vowed never to forgive us for skipping it. Her gallery of pictures is available right here, and Nick’s party report, with lengthy addendum, is after the jump.

Wonkette Party Crash: Garutachi Underwear Dance Night

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Why should New York get all the fun of alternatively laughing at and lusting after barely dressed coked-out hip kids? That was the question posed by the good people at Garutachi, an indie dance party frequented by people who look better but have significantly worse judgment than you. Last weekend, they threw an underwear party, offering free Sparks to anyone bold enough to strip down on their way in. Gawker’s own Nikola Tamindzic was in town, and he was kind enough to stop by the party and take a couple pictures. His own NSFW gallery is available here. Our gallery, with the usual snide remarks, is below. We would’ve gone to it ourselves, but we were busy that night sitting at home with a bottle of rye. MORE »

Wonkette Party Crash: CNN’s War on Christmas

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

CNN’s Holiday Party was one of the better ones we’ve been to, mostly because they kept the bar open the latest. It was last Tuesday at Teatro Goldoni, and our full report — featuring Wolf Blitzer, James Carville, and a CNN Senior Correspondent coming this close to pulling a Kenny Rogers — is after the jump.

A gallery of lovely Liz Gorman pictures is also available right here.

New Emilio Estevez passion project/biopic Bobby was screened Friday night at the Goethe Institute. Rabid hors d’oeuvre hound Intern Nick was there to see if godless Hollywood elites could make a film that would win approval from godless Washington elites. Follow the well-worn path of ’60s coulda-shoulda-woulda-changed-the-world nostalgia, after the jump.

TEAM PARTY CRASH

Team Raffle Crash: Late Night Shots at Smith Point (Natch)

Friday, October 6th, 2006

DSCN0464.jpgLittle boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same.

Have you heard about Late Night Shots? It’s kinda like Facebook for monied mid-20s frat hill staffer types and the blondes who follow them around. Last night, they held a date raffle at your favorite bar and ours, Smith Point. You too could take home Reed Landry for $5 bucks! Because we were drinking for free, we sent poor, abused Intern Nick to cover the proceedings. His photographs and exclusive report are after the jump.

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.

Team Wonkette Field Trip: Congressional Beisbol

Friday, June 30th, 2006

IMG_9611sm.jpgTeam Wonkette Field Trip! From left: David Lat, the Comics Curmudgeon, Intern Nick (mostly hidden), and Alex Pareene.

Last night, Team Wonkette made its way out to RFK stadium for the annual Congressional Baseball Game, sponsored by Roll Call. The game was, well, sad and pathetic. The Republicans won 12-1 (Roberts recused himself). But man, what a trip. Drunk hill staffers everywhere, Katherine Harris wandering around, tight unis on middle-aged legislative paunches, and William Jefferson looking really intense. Pocket full of sandpaper, of course. But that’s another story — one for after the jump, in fact, illustrated with lovely pictures from Liz Gorman, Intrepid Girl Reporter.
