Maybe I'm just excited because Fitsum gave me his off-camera flash cable, or maybe I'm just excited because I got pictures from last night up before noon, but I am obliged to share all these shots with you. Let's see, quick run-down of the night... sorority/debutante smith point girls in cocktail dresses call me Pete Wentz ("you're goin' down, down"... where is that BYT intern when you need her?!?), drunk Joel arrives with injured hand post-bike wreck (don't drink and bike), underage GW girl passes out standing up and has to be escorted out (to the hospital!!! She was unconcious lying on the floor, bleeding... sorry no pictures, not cool), I hung out with the Shelby and Stephen from The Cassettes, as well as my new friend David Holloway (awesome photojournalist, if you don't know, now ya know), and Courtney is still by far the greatest bartendress in town...
I think they were playing that Yelle song right here, you know the one with the eurof_gs in extremely tight pants and fanny packs? Yeah, that one.
Debutantes, love the blue and red cocktail dresses, not so much the attitude... can anyone say late night shots? And, Joel's boo boo.
Thanks to David for the shots of Pete Wentz and the social worker from U of Chicago, public policy, what you got to say about this, huuuh?!?!?
God loves a cheerful giver.
I love the photo documenting Joel's injury--it's very "says it all"
the collective male BYT staff is in love with Courtney.
fact.
the collective male/female population of DC/VA/MD is in love with Courtney.
fact.
Courtney is awesome. I actually had a very straight girl (my date that night, actually) say of Courtney, "Yeah, I'd do her. In fact, I WANT to do her." as she made her way to the bar.
I think Courtney is DC's best kept secret.
i heart courtney too and may well show her some love tonight. not that kind of love, pervs. i mean a nice tip.
perhaps all those smith point-type gals should have stopped by the new tonic at GW last night, where i had a quick couple of beers after class. hello, 700 dudes in suits who took over the jukebox and played the eagles all night.
the eagles, you guys.
nothing wrong with the eagles.
fitsum, we are going to have to have a talk about this if we are to remain pals!
hee.
Um...add me/us to the Courtney love list...wowza! She is too cute, I kept forgetting what drink I wanted to order..
Dakota, I cannot see how you labeled my female friends as "SORORITY GIRLS/ Debutantes'...they just like wearing cute dresses! They are basically the antithetical OPPOSITE of SmithPointies...
And as far as "attitude", its a defense mechanism that my female friends employ that quickly evaporates when someone's true nature is revealed...
Did I mention that we are all in love with Courtney yet?
um... I didn't wreck my bike cause I was drunk... my seatpost broke unexpectedly, which, came as quite a surprise.
Dakota's right about Holloway the guy is good.

Yes, David is a great photographer. IIRC, he's done some work for Dischord.
And Joel, my condolences on the bike (& injury).
It's so uplifting to see the 'avant-garde' become the status quo. What a great judge of cliches you represent.
"nothing wrong with the eagles."
nothing? like absolutely nothing? c'mon.
"nothing wrong with Courtney"
now that's one we can all stand by. except maybe my girlfriend.
I just like that the dance party was at 110 bpm... and the ladies in dresses enjoyed Herbie Hancock and the 80s throwback that occured. Triobelisk thanks you!
....and those without the dresses twiddled their thumbs....twiddle dee..twiddle dumb.
"the collective male/female population of DC/VA/MD is in love with Courtney.
fact." - agreed.
Joel: that was your fixie? i was wondering what happened to that bike, i thought the saddle got jacked when i saw the broken seatpost.
FORGET COURTNEY! I AM IN LOVE WITH THE DEBUTANTES IN THE BLUE AND RED DRESSES!!!
HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM???????
Never Mind the Debutantes...here comes the Fritz Pistols!
sorry to hear about yr fall, joel. i feel partly responsible since i asked you to meet up with me but never made it out, and you got that seat post from me. i fail on all counts.
I blame you completely. You owe me several beers to dull the pain.
I've totally embarrassed myself in front of Courtney before even though that night was awesome. I don't know her very well, but it's hard to not look at her and see Venus.
