Reuters Takes On Bloomberg

Jeff Dufour reports today that the post-prom Bloomberg party will have some serious wonky competition: Reuters.

“Its first foray into the world of after-parties, Reuters will throw its soiree at Kstreet, the hip new lounge at 13th and K streets, according to a source familiar with the event. The smallish number of revelers–capacity of the bar is about 300 people–will be treated to open bar and DJ music,” Dufour says.

But where Bloomberg is all about the glitz, Reuters’ party seems like it’ll be more Washington-like: “Not that Reuters is going to wow ‘em with boldface names. ‘Our version of a celebrity is Condoleezza Rice,’ a source at the news service said.”

So which will be the more coveted invite this year? Condi or Roethlisberger?
