The hottest ticket in Washington, D.C. on Friday night wasn't for a White House Correspondents' Dinner pre-party thrown by Hollywood giants — it was Grindr's first-ever bash in the nation's capital, and it did not disappoint.
With a line snaking down the block like Studio 54 in its heyday, the event was packed with influencers, media personalities, and even some political heavyweights. Inside, TMZ's Jacob, Charlie, and Jakson hit the dance floor, grooving solo, together, and even with CNN's Don Lemon, who proved he's got serious moves.
Charlie served as a judge for a Best Dressed competition — the winner was a showstopper. The food was next-level: caviar, gummies, and truffle ice cream (though Charlie admitted the latter is an acquired taste he has yet to acquire).
Notable attendees included Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, CNN's Kaitlan Collins, and Grindr's head of global government affairs, Joe Hack. While other parties — like CAA's annual soirée — were happening across town, the Grindr party was the undisputed epicenter of fun.
Though it's Grindr's first foray into WHCD weekend festivities, the company has long been a lobbying force for HIV therapies and LGBTQ+ rights. Judging by the smiles on Jacob, Charlie, and Jakson's faces, this won't be the last time Grindr takes Washington by storm.
