Every year the parties circling the White House Correspondents’ Association
Dinner become more buzzy than the actual black-tie dinner itself. Each
fete boasts a swankier locale and A-listier roster, promising more glitz
and glamour than the last exclusive password-protected invitation.

Then there’s the “fiesta” vowing “cold brews, killer tuneage and bitchin’
times.”

Nope, it’s not an invite to Coachella. It’s for “Diamond Joe Biden’s badass
balls-to-the-wall fiesta” to be held after the official dinner on Saturday
night. This is not a drill. Or a joke apparently.

party.

If it sounds like something cooked up by the Onion, well, that’s because it
is. Except unlike most things that come from the satirical news outlet,
next Saturday’s party is really happening.

“Our editor in chief, Cole Bolton, is attending the dinner this year, and
since it’s Diamond Joe’s last year in office, we thought it was the perfect
opportunity to throw a balls-to-the-wall bash,” said Lauren Pulte, The
Onion’s PR and communications manager. The after party on April 30 is the
media organization’s first invite-only WHCD event.

The bash may be in Biden’s honor, but don’t expect to see an
aviator-sporting, quote-spouting Uncle Joe among the beer guzzlers at the
Newseum. Biden isn’t a big fan of the “goofy uncle” meme

and the vice president’s office confirmed he will not be attending The
Onion’s party.
