The soirees surrounding the annual dinner went on even without the glitz.

While President Trump might have made a point of skipping the dinner — and ordered members of his administration to do likewise — the weekend wasn’t entirely devoid of this administration’s fans. There were plenty of recognizable stars of the Trump Cinematic Universe at the weekend-long festivities surrounding the dinner .The NBC/MSNBC after-party took place at the Italian Embassy in Washington.
Former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer popped up at nearly every notable affair over the weekend like a Where’s Waldo of the Washington social set. There he was doing a live shot for “Extra” at United Talent Agency’s Friday night pre-party at Fiola Mare in Georgetown. Another Spicer sighting at the receptions at the Hilton before the dinner.
Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright attends the CBS News/Politico pre-party at the Washington Hilton. “I’ve been coming to this dinner for years, and this is the most important year,” said former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, as she broke from a power gaggle with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and British Ambassador Kim Darroch at the pre-dinner party on Saturday hosted by CBS News and Politico under tents at the Hilton terrace.
Another partygoer who’d just managed to squeeze through the packed crowd at UTA’s Friday party echoed that same sentiment: “It’s this ridiculous,” he said, “and it’s just us.” Just us was the theme of the entire weekend, it seemed — a Washington thing that will never ever die despite the alarmist headlines and endless complaints about the lack of what one dinner guest called “sizzle.”
