NHFA’s Noche de Gala

Friday, October 12th, 2007

We continue to celebrate our last day by presenting scenes from yet another party that we neglected to attend. This one was the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts’ Eleventh Annual Noche de Gala Dinner, held last week at the Mayflower’s Grand Ballroom. Honored guests included, Jimmy Smits, Kenny Ortega, Ed Markey, and FCC commisioner Robert McDowell. And our own Liz Glover and Liz Gorman, who documented the whole affair for your enjoyment. Gorman’s gallery may be found here! And some of Glover’s reflections are after the jump.

GQ’s Most Powerful People Party

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

When GQ put out their list of the most powerful people in Washington, we all had a good laugh at how dumb some of their choices were. Then because we are whores we accepted their invite to a party at Cafe Milano last Monday night (never forget!). Liz Gorman came too, she took pictures. We just drank. Gallery here, random recollections after the jump.

The “Beckham” Party

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Last week, Liz and Liz went to one of the thousand terrible David Beckham parties that took over DC and then, just as quickly, faded from everyone’s memory. Relive the excitement with Ms. Gorman’s gallery of photos and Ms. Glover’s write-up, after the jump!

The Show is the Rainbow

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Last week, Liz Glover and Liz Gorman went to some crazy beatnik art/rock show thing called “The Show is the Rainbow,” where Glover took the above video and Gorman took the below pictures. It’s, uh, mostly safe for work.

The Modernist Society @ Bourbon

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007


Last Thursday, we walked over to Bourbon to hear, we thought, some dude from Vice talk to some dude from al-Jazeera English about… well, something? It was The Modernist Society’s first monthly party at one of 18th St. last remaining tolerable bars (if you’re upstairs, anyway), and we were there because it was within walking distance.

The Capitol File “Little Black Book” Party

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Last week, Capitol File magazine declared a bunch of losers to be the most notable singles in Washington and then they threw them a party.

Your humble editor is decidedly neither eligible nor notable. Liz Glover, though, might be, so we sent her, along with the decidedly notable Liz Gorman, to drink with the douchebags. Above, L. Glover’s video of the night. After the jump, her report, sort of. And, of course, a lovely gallery of Liz Gorman pictures are all included at no additional cost to you, the reader. Enjoy!

Faggot: The Play (Launch Party)

Monday, June 18th, 2007


We couldn’t make it to the fundraiser and campaign launch party for Faggot: The Play because, honestly, it sounded a little gay to us, though we did manage to send the lovely Liz Gorman and the distinctly less lovely Intern Greg to check it out. Check out Liz’s photo gallery here and read Greg’s report right after the jump.

HBO’s ‘Flight of the Conchords’ Screening Party

Monday, June 4th, 2007

HBO bought the kids some Sparks, sent a copy of their new funny indie show to the Rock n Roll hotel, and had a little party last Saturday night. Because we were… out of town, we sent the former Intern Nick (last Friday was his last day! Wish him well!) and the intrepid Liz Gorman to cover the shenanigans. Oh, and Andy Rourke was there for some reason.

Liz’s pictures are all right here, and Nick’s inspiring report is after the jump. (And for those playing along at home, find our nightlife reporters in their natural habitat hidden somewhere in this gallery).

Hirshhorn After Hours 2

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

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.
