With Cleveland in our rearview, it was time to set our sights on Philadelphia for the DNC – if you thought taking a road trip with your family was bad, try taking one with your coworkers and watch a 3-hour drive turn into 7. Our friends at the International Franchise Association get …

You’ve heard speeches, chants, and everything in between at this year’s Republican National Convention, and next week will likely be the same song and dance. Thankfully, Morning Consult and S-3 Public Affairs are spearheading the congressional point of view at the conventions this year. The growing media outlet and public affairs firm demonstrated their …

Trump made headlines again this week, and for once it’s not for something he said. After walking out on Monday night of the Republican National Convention to the tune of Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” Queen was, you could say, less than pleased about this song choice. Their rep released a …

It’s only been 48 hours, but we’ve already learned a lot about Cleveland. Here’s a quick check list of lessons learned so far by the FamousDC team on the ground at #RNCinCLE: 1.) Kathryn Lyons is very easily disoriented. 2.) Good luck finding a friendlier bunch of folks than the people …

With the 2016 Republican National Convention set in Cleveland, Ohio, there was only one thing for the FamousDC team to do – go find Lebron. After spending six long hours crammed in a car and losing sense of the meaning  of personal space, we soon realized it was only the beginning.Follow FamousDC on …

Just in case your back sweat isn’t enough of an indication, we’re here to remind you that it’s hot out. We’re not trying to keep you from going outside – we’re trying to keep you from going outside without proper protection, a koozie. After all, summer is a time to really enjoy the outdoors before …

Watch out, tie wearers. Dena Battle is coming for you. Dena is a former House staffer and lobbyist who is using her skills from the Hill for good. She started the Kidney Cancer Research Alliance, known as KCCure, this year to help raise money for kidney cancer research. This month is designated No Tie July — for …

We took a trip to the National Building Museum to check out their newest installation, ICEBERGS. It’s pretty cool, and so is Brett Rodgers, the Vice President for Marketing and Communications at the museum. We sat down with him to discuss iceberg slides, shaved ice treats, and, of course, the …

Fittest city in America? Maybe when Kevin Cleary is in town. The multiple Ironman competitor, marathon runner, yoga “master”, and CEO of Clif Bar might give us a run for our money. Kevin came to town to pay MCON a visit and teach this generation’s young rising stars about leadership and …

We don’t know how you feel, but summer needs to slow the F down. We’re like halfway through and we can barely remember what we did the first half (don’t mix alcohol and sun, kids). Thank goodness for these monthly round ups. We’d be so out of the loop if it …

A little birdie told us that Twitter’s DC headquarters are a site to see (pun intended) so naturally, we had to check it out for ourselves just to make sure – and there’s no arguing that their offices held up to our sky-high expectations. Jenna Golden, head of sales for Twitter DC, led …

When you’re busy running the country interning for the person who works for the person running the country, you can’t be bogged down with gourmet lunch recipes. Besides, who even has that kind of money to spend? Between desk organization, cat videos and teaching yourself origami, we’d be surprised if you even have time …

Move over Kanye, there are way cooler dads in town and we wanna shout ’em out. From patching up our scraped knees to picking us up when we’re down, we want to say “Thanks, Dad!” for everything you’ve done for us and everything you let us do that mom didn’t. …

  Josie Martin is the queen of balance. We’re not sure about her tightrope-walking abilities, but we do know she has got health and wellness down pat (unlike some of us, who consider an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s a light snack). She’s the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for PhRMA, …

I recently heard this story about these three little pigs that built homes made out of straw, sticks and bricks, respectively. A big bad wolf came along and blew all their houses down, with the exception of the one made of brick. I thought to myself, “Wow, those dumb pigs should’ve called Eric …
