Your Wonkette usually spends its Friday nights attending John Boehner beach parties or Sarah Palin wolverine sniper hunts, but you know what? It’s been years since Wonkette has attended Hirshhorn After Hours. So on Friday, July 24, 2009 AD, Team Wonkette partied with the hipster underbelly of DC. And everyone had fun, except Jim.

Sunday, July 19: Synchronized swimming is all anybody’s talking about these days, and, lucky for you, you can see it in action at the Capitol Skyline Hotel this Sunday from 6PM-7PM. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Conner Contemporary Art is screening “experimental videos” (we’ll leave that is up to your imagination) poolside after the competition. Free.

Hey, the Hirshhorn had another After Hours party last Friday! We couldn’t make it, because we’re terribly agoraphobic, but Liz Gorman and Intern Nick were going to be there anyway so we made them write about it and take pictures.

Liz’s gallery of scenesters drinking in classy environs is right here, and Nick’s report is after the jump.

The Hirshhorn Museum: It’s free! Except for every couple months, when they convince the kids to go there by, weirdly, charging admission.

The museum had one of those “after hours” parties last Friday, and we sent Liz Gorman, Intrepid Girl Reporter to document the fun. Intern Nick just happened to be there, so we made him write it up.

You can find Liz’s pictures right here. And after the jump: Lite-brites! Ian Svenonius! Art! Tipsy pseudo-intellectuals both young and old! And Lite-brites!
