The Rookery's Inaugural Party

2519 Pennsylvania Ave. NW -- 1:42 a.m.: The Rookery's inauguration party had problems from the beginning, when host Luke Russert was forced by NBC to remove his name from the invitation. Gawker and other blogs had a field day with the young TV journalist hosting a party at an exclusive members only lounge. Who knew it would be one of the more laid back parties I'd hit all weekend?

The band played Mary Jane, the DJ spun "PYT" and "Private Eyes" and the crowd, who added red, white and blue leis and tiaras to their cocktail dresses and blue blazers, danced with abandon.
