NYE @ RNR Hotel PHOTOS
January 2, 2009 by Dakota
Well, not till tonight, though we are AMPED.
In the meantime enjoy photos of pretty young people having fun in DC and not in NYC to carry you over.

photos by Dakota and Jane, (brief) words by Svetlana
This is not a sprint, this is a marathon.
For the 3rd year in a row (why fix what ain’t broke?) BYT and RNR Hotel and Garutachi (and DURKL for the 2nd year running, and now with Nouveau Riche and Chris Burns and AutoRock and Exactly and not one but 3 awesome live performances by Lode Runner and Pash and US Royalty and all of you) celebrated the NYE in flair and style and with a lot of glow necklaces.
It was as beautiful as it could have been even if right now my feet are bandaged and it may take the Club till 2010 to clean up.
Thank you all that came, thank you all that participated, thank you all who danced and all that got shirtless and all that ….well, just THANK YOU ALL.
it was a blast.
Dakota and Jane killed it so the photos below probably speak several million words (scroll below for links to full sets)

January 2, 2009 at 11:08 amDon’t let it go to your head kid…. but these photos are pretty damn good, Dakota.
January 2, 2009 at 11:13 amExcellent work team!
But seriously, that Gay 80’s Guy is such a photo whore. Glow bracelets, fog machines, LED belts? What are we, 15 years old? Jesus.
January 2, 2009 at 11:28 amAwwwww, Joel… yer making me blush! Gay eighties guy, mannnn, seriously, thank you. Lasers rule, especially when you’re 15, but also, like all the time.
And who was that hot Serbian scene queen babe in the sparkle booby dress? She’s amazing, she was just makin us all feel the DC luuuuuuuv in 2008!!!

January 2, 2009 at 1:54 pmI like how these shots show the different styles of Jane and Dakota. Both awesome in their own ways. Also, Dakota, I see you’re using the new ’secret’ weapon.
