There are guest lists—and then there are guest lists that make you wish you’d been
at the party as, if nothing else, a scanning device that could zoom in on any conversation.
We managed to procure the list of attendees for the very private, very exclusive Kennedy
Center Honors brunch hosted by
George and Liz Stevens on Sunday at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. George is the producer of the honors program
at the Kennedy Center. This party is a regular fixture of the weekend, and is a chance
for the attendees to have at least one event and meal that’s not black-tie, and also
enjoy Champagne and Bloody Marys and a splendid buffet. Much like a White House dinner,
it’s an intersection of power, talent, celebrity, and money, and the guest list is
fun to dissect and analyze.
