Those silly Nouveau Riche DJ's threw a Halloween version of their little party on Saturday with a 90's rave theme. Guest DJ Cobra Krames and glowsticks were in full effect. The best part was all you had to do for a costume was dig really deep into the closet for those parachute pants. Without further adieu, here are all 10,000 photos, many of which feature shirtless men. My little baby Bao (www.baonguyenphoto.com) goes first:
And some by Sexy Fitsum (www.flickr.com/photos/sexyfitsum):
And we have to give special props to Rick for going to DJ Will Eastman's Bliss party at the Black Cat dressed up as me:
And now, the DURKL after-party, where you get to see all the same people but FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES! First Bao:

God loves a cheerful giver.
Cale is so gross.
If by "many pictures feature shirtless men" you mean "many pictures feature shirtless Cole DURKL" then by all means you are right. I am glad we have struck the male/female nipple balance this week.
Classy night through and through.
that's the last time i travel out of town Halloween weekend
though i did win a costume contest as Trinity in CT
my purple UFO's and mesh tanktops will have to wait to resurface until the next rave party
Wow it's a bunch of sweaty, ironic hipsters dressing up like ravers at a fake rave party. Awesome.
you guys need more pictures of that gay 80's blonde guy..not nearly enough on this site.
Actually I changed my myspacer sexual orientation back to straight the other day (after a brief period of going gay for Jens Lekman) but I'm still getting the gay myspace ads...
comments like "ironic hipster" are beginning to come off like some sort of groupthink tourrettes. doesn't even apply to the crowd in these pix.
That Ghostbuster guy at DC9 made my night.
WHAT???!! who dares to say that ANY irony ocurred saturday night??!!?!?!??!1!!!!!!! NOUVEAU RICHE IS VERY SERIOUS we only do it full-on earnest, i got joss stone remixes for you son, holla
Wow only the most famous skater in DC, Brian Tucci, in like 5 photos!
Tucci was fully in the house. Was very good to see the old boy.
do the people that run this site have any idea how big of a joke they are...people are talking..lots of people. GTFO..
its ok mike, we still love you.
I meant "hipsters" in the nicest way possible. Really! Where were all of you in 1995? Oh yeah, you were 12 and listening to Coolio. Holla! Can I get a massage?
Actually I was listening to Ace of Base.
anonymous posters: your totally unoriginal comments are DEFINITELY going to magically bring this website down someday! keep the faith, stay chomping on retard sandwiches!
I don't care who is hip and who isn't, and I don't really understand this whole comment debate.
What I do know is that I am bored by these pictures. And the costumes look lame.
If the music didn't suck at New Rich I probably would have gone. But it does, so I never will.
In 95 I was 24.
who's Coolio?
in '95 i was at Shredders in Wheaton Plaza fighting Chris Burns over the last SKIDZ! full zip front brown plaid shirt and listening to...fuck...Coolio. wow, that song is incredible.
we remember being there causing the fun but we didn't see much of us in these pics?
in 95 i was helping oscar wilde defend himself against the marquess of queensberry.
http://dcist.com/2007/10/29/whats_that_you_3.php
we all need more of that gay 80s blond guy in our lives. more! more! more!
in '95 i was 11 and recording brown stone and soul for real off the radio, and i knew all the words to gangstas paradise...fooool. haha i forgot about shredders in wheaton plaza.
Ah young Krames, you are well-trained in the arts of fun-causing and party-rocking, but what do you know of the ways of jumping-in-front-of-cameras? You are dealing with some highly potent adversaries... most of whom were not DJing, many of whom already knew the photographers, and half (or more!) of whom have breasts, even. Our kind are goners from the start.
I must admit though, I was kinda hoping to see the krames-as-weezy dreadlocks here... that whole getup was on point.
I
I earnestly do not understand the snark of these anonymous haters. Cuz reading eye-roll comments when I know I had a good time is
too specific.
Go back to commenting on photos of your living room party.
haha.
G Unit oh tee em.
Nouveau rave! I was happily surprised at the number of costumes. Only discomfort is Nouveau Riche might've been nicer in a bigger venue because place was maddd packt like sardines.
Nouveau Riche Rave --
This sort of reminds me of when they had a rave on 90210. “OMG, we’re going to a RAVE!” Look at these pictures and you can probably pick out the cast...
Look! There's Brandon! Looking hot as ever, Kelly... David, don't do it man.... Don't do it!
Rave doesn't really exist in it's true sense anymore, and anyone that calls an event a "rave", or puts the word rave in the title, just doesn't even know.
The press & the wannabees put the term "rave" out there. Old schoolers that grew up in the scene referred to the gatherings as *parties*. Anyone here remember the party under the 14th St. bridge -- generators & 007 on the tables? Or the boom box after party at the Jefferson Memorial? And the after after party at Denny's? How about Julie Jewels & Mr. Clean in the basement of that bombed out Safeway store? Jimmy Crash, Adam X, Ms. Paul, Denise The Menace, Tominator, & Sarah Smile? “Engine, engine number nine ...on the New York transit line… If my train goes off the track… Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!" Those were the good ‘ol days, and there were no Nouveau Riche raves… It was “for the scene, not for the green.”
Yea.... Anyone that knows anything about anywho knows that anytime you refer to a RAVE it's anything but a rave but actually a "PARTY"- That's just common "Party Kid" knowledge. Gold, i'm pretty sure no one cares that your an "old school" party kid.... I hope you didn't go NR thinking there would be a Dance Safe booth or anything....
Interesting... I write a post but it gets deleted...
EVERYBODY --
Let's clear up the confusion. What you saw at DC9 Saturday was not a "rave" in the proper sense. But NOR, in fact, was it a "party". I hate to break this to you, but you were all at Hebrew school. That's right -- I knew I couldn't possibly motivate anybody to come out to Hebrew school if I just called it that. So first I called it a "rave", KNOWING that many people would acutally be fooled into thinking it was! And the others... they would think that the whole "rave" thing was ironic, but still take it for a party. Hahaha, you fucking idiots, you're all Jewish now! I did a mass Bar/Bat Mitzvah at 1am and converted all you suckers!
Sincerely,
Gavin
Shalom!
Sexy Fitsum's reply to Poseurs is priceless. When are you hipsters going to realize you do not defy description?
You can't describe what you don't know.
Whatever comes from trying to tho would be more like an assumption or prejudice.

Gavin, I'll go to Hebrew School with you anytime.
