Details of one of Washington's most anticipated holiday parties -- the annual soiree hosted by entertainment industry trade groups -- have been released. The invitation above has been altered so as not to give away the RSVP info and logistical bits but as you can see this year's headliner is Mix Master Mike, a turntable impresario and contributing member of the Beastie Boys. Last year, the celebration featured a performance by hip-hop star Wyclef Jean. The year before that, the Barenaked Ladies.

The party is a fundraiser for Bread For The City and is sponsored by the Recording Industry Association of America, Entertainment Software Association, National Music Publishers' Association, SoundExchange, the Software and Information Industry Association and [oddly enough] the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. What's the Motion Picture Association of America up to this year, you might ask? Chairman Dan Glickman is hosting dinner-and-a-movie for the D.C. press corps next week. The film: Universal Pictures’ “Frost/Nixon.”
