Nothing says get this party started like a three day weekend. For those of you staying in town, we’ve got a stacked weekend of very DC things to do. And bonus, a majority of it is free because that’s how DC summer rolls.

Last night, Edelman hosted a book signing for “Front Row Seat,” a photography book by Eric Draper, the Bush Administration’s White House Photographer, and trust us the crowd that turned out was worth getting there early and grabbing a front row seat for. With many Bush Administration favorites popping in to support Draper’s work, which highlights the administration and some of it’s most memorable moments, the evening ended up being a fun get together of DC politicos, journalists, communication pros and many more.
