The 41st annual Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference kicked off on Monday, as did the flurry of parties and receptions that typically surrounds the event, also called CBC Week. If you're still trying to figure out which specific events you want to attend, Joi-Marie McKenzie, editor of the Fab Empire family of websites, has you covered. McKenzie and her team have, for the third year in a row, put together the handy "Insider's Guide to Congressional Black Caucus Week."

McKenzie's special event guides (she also puts together a great "Insider's Guide to Howard University Homecoming) are great resources. Need to know about the Paul Wharton-hosted Casino Royale scholarship benefit at the Sahdow Room tonight? (Um, YES!) Or actor Laz Alonzo's appearance at Lux Lounge tomorrow? Then you need to flip through this thing. Peruse the offerings below or at D.C. Fab.
