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. Check out a couple photos below of George W. Bush for a sneak peak and be sure to snag your own copy. Trust us, it’ll impress your mom next time she’s visiting and sees it on the coffee table. Famously Hosting last night: Robbie Aiken, Angela Flood,Corinne & Tom Hoare, Dana Perino, David Almacy, Tony Fratto, Jennifer & Ken Lisaius, Karl Rove, Olga Arguello, Chris Frech, Jose Mallea, Rob Saliterman, Steve Atkiss, Cathy & Ed Gillespie, Jeanie Mamo, Mercy & Matt Schlapp, Brad Blakeman, Julie Goon, Anita McBride, Scott Sforza, Josh Bolten, Steve Hadley, Brian McCormack, Stuart Siciliano, Chuck DeFeo, Joe Hagin, Katy & Brian Montgomery, Margaret Spellings, Mary Diamond Stirewalt

This year we had a great time playing media sponsor to Ball on the Mall. Put on by the Trust for the National Mall (made famous by John Stewart’s Rally), each year brings out DC’s finest – from District celebs to A-list politicos; from star reporters to PR pros; artists to socialites. Ball on the Mall has a knack for throwing a great party that brings everyone together as we all have one thing in common: this city and the amazing things living in the Nation’s capital gives us. Also, not only is it a good cause, but it’s one of the most unique locations. Time and time again folks make the rounds to their usual stops, but rarely (outside of hooka night in college) to people dance on the National Mall. It’s like partying on the quad, but for adults. All fun aside, we were happy to partner with the Trust for the National Mall and hope to see it happen with as much style next year. See you then.

They all made it on to this year’s WashingtonLIFE Power 100. They also (almost) all read FamousDC. Coincidence? We think not. A few who made the list: Tucker Foote, MasterCard Bret Baier, Fox News Wolf Blitzer, CNN John Breaux / Trent Lott Anita Dunn RG3 Ed Gillespie Jack Gerard Jose …

TO: Mr. Conan O’Brien FROM: DC Residents Whom Are Proud of Their Landmark Establishments Dear Mr. O’Brien, On behalf of all District dwellers, we hope you enjoyed your time here in our Nation’s Capital. We truly love our city and we hope you were able to drink it all in while you were here – it always goes down smooth. We also want to congratulate you on your almost perfect performance at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner. You were very funny. That is, until you started to make fun of the Hilton Hotel, the service, and the quality of the hotel thereby insulting a notable DC landmark as the staff and other employees stood in the back and listened. Not cool bro, we need to have a chat about that.

After they weren’t given a table at this year’s White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner, Buzzfeed decided to host their own viewing party and broadcast the WHCD live. If we do say so ourselves, the night was a definite WIN.

Jack and Lucy asked us to tell Lindsey Drew happy birthday today!

We finally did it. After resisting to pressure to photograph our food and filter our lives, we finally gave in and signed up for Instagram. Better late than never. Follow us to see where FamousDC is around the city and send your pics of FamousDC in – we might even …

Howard Dean still has time to meet with college students carrying around a resume. Gotta love this city.
