Late April update!
What's up Yardbarker?
Sometimes, it amazes me how blessed my career has been: I'm going to the White House Correspondents' Annual Dinner in DC this Saturday! I’m a guest of Congressional Correspondent William Douglas who writes for McClatchy News Service. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will be there, and a whole lot of DC power players --- and I'm not talking about the Redskins. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting the event, so you know it's gonna be funny.
The proceeds from the dinner go to deserving journalists and student journalists for awards and scholarships. Shout out to Chris Trevino from my alma mater, University of Maryland, who was awarded a scholarship last year! Tune in to C-Span Saturday night to check it out.
Remember last year's dinner when President Obama was cracking jokes about Donald Trump, meanwhile the Navy Seals were busy taking out Osama Bin Laden? I wonder what he's got in store for us this year. I'm excited!
I'll check in a little later to let you know how it went…
Until then...
