Quinn Gillespie/FD WHCAD Kickoff Party

White House Correspondents' Association Dinner week officially kicked off Tuesday at Public, with a cocktail party jointly hosted by Quinn Gillespie & Associates and FD.

Despite the hype surrounding the Correspondents' parties, most of the celebs don't arrive until Friday, so Tuesday's early crowd was made up mostly of political reporters and PR types. Guests received snazzy QGA travel mugs as party favors, and most of them planned to see each other at Wednesday night's Creative Coalition party.
