Arianna Huffington, the founder of the Huffington Post, is beginning to make a habit of bringing famous musicians to the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Last year she took along rapper Killer Mike, and for Obama’s last dinner, at which he gave a “mic drop” farewell speech, she brought along a world-famous DJ—Steve Aoki.
Aoki took the prestigious invitation to heart, and took no time in documenting the who’s who of the dinner through a series of selfies. Here are some of the best below:

The invitation (ok, not a selfie, but still):

Steve Aoki + C-Span (Why does the guy on the left have two phone? What are they exchanging?)

w/ DJ Khaled (“The keys to success is squadin up to the #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner w/ @djkhaled”)
w/ Bill Nye (did they sit next to each other?)
w/ Al Sharpton
w/ Biz Markie
w/ Jared Leto (one of many…)
And finally, Aoki and Arianna Huffington, to whom he expressed immense gratitude: “The reason why I’m even here at the #whitehousecorrespondentsdinner. Thank you @ariannahuff for inviting me.”
