While everyone should just be resting up for their New Year's Eve activities, we know you and your self-destructive selves better so here are some primo choices for nailing that final nail in your liver's coffin for 2007.
Ready (I'll keep this short and sweet as my brain cell count is somewhat pathetic these days)
Recommendations welcome, as long as they're awesome.
Thursday
Early show: Dresden Dolls at the Synagogue. Do your Brechtian Cabaret homework and read Andrea's interview with them here
Late shows: Meredith Bragg / Paul Michel / Donnie Hue @ The Cat (light pre show reading available here and here)
+
Five Four and Thrushes at DC9
Dance night: Marquis at Napoleon. party mix away here
Friday
Patti Smith is in town. Cale is not impressed.
Alternatively, Right ROund and She Bop are doing a combo dance night at the Cat. Fun for all, and all for fun.
Saturday
Big night all around: The Rattler/Death by Sexy/Hey Sailor Juggernaut arrives to RNR. You can win tickets here. Also, Benjy Ferree and The Points are playing the Cat
plus two stellar dance nights:
Razzmatazz backstage and Nouveau Riche at DC9
Sunday
sleep. seriously. SERIOUSLY.
Monday
Come and spend NYE with us (and Garutachi, and Georgie James, and DURKL, and 80000 djs and Alexandra and Dee covered in sushi, and more white balloons and fake mustaches than should be legal)
we're also doing some giveaways for it so hop to it
God loves a cheerful giver.
for my fervent fans:
i'll be at the Dresden Dolls early show tonight
don't forget about the Onion after party at RFD, well afterwards
then dinner somewhere, and 80's night at Club Heaven
away for the weekend at the last year of: rhythmicarts.com
have a great New Year's all, see you next weekend
Seriously I'd considered the RnR Hotel on NYE, but will not attend in protest of the truly base and unimaginative "naked sushi"
And that's all I've got to say about that.
while I was personally fully against the "naked sushi" deal (because of my ladylike spirit and non-exploitative nature) I have to admit that the 2 girls who are doing it are the hands down hottest choice for the job in all of DC
no Internet Display of Affection (IDA) but 12/29 aka the Rattler show at RnR is also the 2nd Rattlerversary of both the Rorica and the BenMo couples, who all met 12/29/05 at a Rattler show.
AWwwwwwWWWWwwww
now go throw up.
Hold on. Are there going to be fake mustaches available at the Hotel? Or are fake mustaches just some kind of metaphor for the spirit of the event? I hope it's actual mustaches.
Actualy mustaches.
300+ of them in fact.
I have nothing against tits and cocks and asses all coming out in the spirit (or because of the spirits), nor am I against PDA or orgies or all that jazz.
I'm just against girls being paid to lay on a table and have sushi served off them. What's the point? It's been done many many many times so it's certainly not new. As I mentioned before it's been done at Entres Nous here in D.C. where there frequently is nudity for nudity's sake and because they're comfortable with it.
But what do you do with someone being paid to lay on a table and have food stuck to them? Chat? Try to glimpse some vag or nip? Completely ignore them as though they aren't there? Get turned on and let a boner brush an elbow?
I'd be more inclined to offer a pass were it some new concept thought up for this night, but, alas, it isn't. It's something I'd expect of Left Bank or some other lame-fuck place, not RnR.
i just want to say i'm excited to see jackie's DJ debut at Wonderland tonight with the ever-lovable Dave Nada.
oh and i also want to say nouveau riche is looking beautiful, holler at me for list people.
oh and i also want to reminisce on stereofaith dropping 'we are your friends' at midnight upstairs at last year's NYE at rocknroll... wasn't that the most heartwarming thing? at least that's what i remember happening. and everybody belting out every single lyric to it, arm-in-arm. and everybody else making out (of course).
no sleeping. Lesbians on Exctasy are playing the DC9 on Sunday.
My name is Erik Bradford, I've returned to DC from Austin for the holidays, and I have a show at the Velvet Lounge at 9. Stop by if you're feeling brave. Patti Smith ain't got nothin' on me man!
DJ AutoRock CD release party at the Hotel on Sat. Check out his mix here: http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/downloads/download-kick-ass-autorock-mix/
i think every bar in dc should have naked sushi every friday night. this will ensure that everyone who thinks michael is a complete tool will be guaranteed to get one michael-free night per weekend.
michael is boycotting brasserie beck restaurant because they serve steak on a plate and that's already been done before. i mean, really, what unimaginative losers.
