WHCA Weekend Festivities "On Steroids"

Tammy Haddad, goddess of all things Washington, has spearheaded the launch of a Web site providing all the dish DCers need to know about next weekend's WHCA festivities.

Per the NYT:

"It's the White House Correspondents Dinner on steroids," said Tammy Haddad, a longtime, Washington-based television producer who co-founded the site - WhiteHouseCorrespondentsWeekendInsider.com - with David Adler,the chief executive of the event planning firm BizBash Media. "This is going to be the president's debut, and we want to have a little fun for our big weekend."

Ms. Haddad, who throws the annual pre-dinner brunch, said the site was created for fun - not money - but she is hoping it will live on after the dinner, following the everyday doings of the White House press corps, thus providing inside details about the favorite subject of the news media: themselves, natch.
