Stuart
Stuart is a man about town who loves nothing more than a fabulous party. He still mourns the loss of the National Gallery of Art’s annual Mardi Gras fete, which was amongst his favorite events of the year. Stuart is not, however, one to stay home and pout, so he sought out an alternative Mardi Gras party, and discovered a fundraiser thrown by THIS for Diplomats, a group that assists diplomats and their families during their stay in Washington. The event was held at the Meridian, which is always a lovely setting for festivities. Stuart enjoyed himself and met some fun new people, but was not too impressed with the lack of food (that said, a lack of food is infinitely preferable to a lack of bubbly, of which thankfully there was no shortage). The party was certainly no National Gallery event, but Stuart knows how to turn almost any evening into a good time.
Surprisingly, given his liquid dinner, Stuart was able to find the energy to run errands in Virginia the following day. This was somewhat due to necessity, as the snowy streets had prevented him from doing so the previous two weekends (and he really wanted Dairy Queen, as he was beginning to suffer from withdrawal…he is considering starting a Dairy Queen for DC Facebook campaign to prevent this from happening again).
Stuart also stopped by the office to pick up a few packages, although that was really just an excuse to see the beautiful Svetka, the only thing he loves more than a good party (he has developed quite a crush, but then who can blame him given her charm).
Saturday night Stuart headed to Georgetown for an engagement party. He had a wonderful time celebrating the lovely couple’s upcoming South Carolina nuptials, and caught up with some friends he hadn’t seen in a while.
History also seemed to repeat itself, with Stuart consuming too much bubbly and not much food. What can he say, he’ll never learn (and post-party munchies is what his newly replenished supply of mac ‘n cheese is for anyway).
