Under normal circumstances the only reason for us to leave our house on a Tuesday night would be if our “American idol” broadcast died midway, but after Fritz (all in the name of WaPO research, we are sure) informed us of the party for the launch of DC United defenseman Bobby Boswell’s website (aptly entitled www.bobbyboswell.com) at Play Lounge, we decided to dust off our patent leather shoes and head over.Now, some of you may say…why?The answers are as follows:
a. we support everyone’s need to have their own web portal for no other apparent reason than to have it (duh). And especially everyone’s need to celebrate their own web portal with a party of sorts. On a school/work/soccer practice night at that.
b. free cocktails

c. free cocktails

d. free cocktails

OK, now that we have our motivation out of the way, this is how it was:

Pretty super really.

Bobby was there (ladyfriend K.Kennedy in and on hand), and so were multiple videos playing of his interviews, hair cuts, charity activities etc, the DC United players were there as well (none with their own website at this point, and inevitably interviewing web designers in between Budweiser select drinks), all sorts of people that make the “Washingtonian” most eligible this or that list every year, a pretty high quota of pretty, tan girls in party dresses (preferably blonde), that everyone in DC thinks is a sign of a quality party, open bar for ladies till midnight (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee), and a DJ who was one Mel C “I turn to you” song away from making us feel like we were 16 again and possibly clubbing in Ibiza (but with less foam).

Oh ….and Play lounge has stripper poles.Tho no one used them LAST NIGHT. A damn, damn shame, if you ask us.

We took some pictures (mostly utilizing Emily and her anna sui dress as a bait), but not too many, as we were too busy looking for glowsticks during that DJ Spooner track circa 1999. We did spot at least 85 other photographers there, so coverage wise, you should be covered.
