Hirshhorn after hours is this Friday.
IT SELLS OUT EVERY TIME.
And this is why: it is bigger, badder, cooler than any bar in DC (duh), and drinking in the presence of art definetly makes people feel better about drinking. And these days, who doesn’t want to feel better about drinking, we ask you? Even if they make pay 10 dollars (in advance, 12 at the door), to stand in line to get a ticket to stand in line to get a drink to stand in line to…you get the picture.
Plus, as Jeff says, there’s tons of hot girls (and a pretty decent amount of hot dudes, say I) there every time.
I love it.
I’m not afraid to admit to it.
Now…you can go here and buy yourself some tickets or post a classy comment about how classy you are and win one of the two pairs we have to give away.
Easy.
Peasy.
Do it.
Winners will be informed by Thursday at 8am.
classy (n.): admirably skillful and graceful
ex: belmontmedina is the classiest drinker around, particularly in the presence of Hooliganship.
April 1, 2008 at 9:40 amJe suis tellement élégant que je parle français, le plus élégant des les langues.
Or at least the translator widget tells me that “I’m so classy that I speak French, the classiest language.”
I don’t really speak French. But I do want to go to After Hours, s’il vous plaît .
April 1, 2008 at 9:52 amI’m the classiest bitch this side of the Potomac. For that matter I’m classier than all the bitches on the other side too!!
April 1, 2008 at 10:04 amYou want class?
I’m gonna double fist a double Balvenie neat and flute of Cliquot until I hurl all over the nearest modernist installation before stumbling into the ladies room for an encore on the hand dryer.
It is ALL about Hermes and Champagne, Ladies Lunch, and the Ladies who Lunch Set who crossover into the Art Party Set. OH… and GIFT BAGS.
April 1, 2008 at 10:32 ami don’t want tix b/c i’ll be at dclx.org
just wanted to interject to say the one and only Hirshhorn Afterhours i’ve been to was last October, and it was AMAZING
just wish Crap, the dj dance party of bad music on purpose, had made a comeback since then
April 1, 2008 at 10:45 ami have a glass bong
April 1, 2008 at 11:01 amLily - I am the only one who can post comments that say I don’t want things. It’s patented.
And Svetlana - I figured this sells out because it’s in the Post Express, like lame bands that sell out at the Cat for which people have to Mapquest directions to the place then spend most of their time coordinating when they are going to leave so they can be in a crowd and won’t be mugged in the sketchy neighborhood filled with hookers and crack addicts (funny how people still go off characterizations from over a decade ago - 14th street hasn’t been sketchy since 1997).
April 1, 2008 at 11:07 amAnd as far as Crap goes, I’d protest a comeback considering one half of the DJ team that put it on is dead.
April 1, 2008 at 11:09 amOh Michael, you wouldn’t say these things if YOUR band sold out the cat and had a feature in the express.

What I apparently meant to say is that me and all my friends are hot, so by definition, we should be there. honesty is classy?
April 1, 2008 at 11:50 amnice try leeza! pas si facile que ca ma cocotte…
I belong and I’ve belonged FOREVER. There is nothing for me to prove. I move in these circles as if wading through my own personal olympic size pool. Nothing hurried, nothing rushed. Every move is deliberate and secure in the knowledge that class is me and I am class. Not only are my manners impeccable, but I am gracious enough to help others in the art of being sophisticated. My wit is undeniable, my charisma is untouchable, and my confidence is well-deserved. The rest of you can only hope to become me.
April 1, 2008 at 11:52 amObviously the fact that I was quoted on this website as saying ‘there’s tons of hot girls there’ makes me the classiest boy in the room. Alas, I am volunteering there that night, so I don’t need no stinking free tickets. And by tons of hot girls I really only meant one: Joel’s mama. But apparently Jason has the game cornered on that tip. Can anybody post the picture of Colleen nibbling Jason’s weiner at Joel’s 4th of July party last year. Oh yeah, classy.
April 1, 2008 at 12:23 pmWho needs class when you have a mustache!
April 1, 2008 at 12:49 pmAre they giving out Hermes man bags?
April 1, 2008 at 3:41 pmok, if that was the problem with Crap
1 man tribute was ok in Sept
and 1 man deal was ok in Oct at Hirshhorn
Which is why I boycotted the Hirshorn event. I was ok with the tribute because it was a week after he died and it needed to be done.
not my call either way, just expressing my opinion.
April 1, 2008 at 4:39 pmmakes sense
and i wouldn’t mind if it ended after Sept for that reason
but it didn’t
and the myspace page keeps teasing about a comeback
so here i’m left hopeful
I wrap my 40 in a Nordstrom bag.
April 1, 2008 at 8:38 pm“Classy” is attempting to save $20 by posting comments on a website. We should all win.

I am classy. I love scotch. And rich mahogany. And Proust… but everybody reads Swann’s Way - I prefer Le Temps Retrouve. In the original French, natch.
Most importantly, I feel pretty good about drinking. I don’t need art to do that. But I want it.
Love me.
