all photos: Dakota Fine & Sexy Fitsum

Disclaimer:
The write up is running a little late probably because the writer is still in recovery, but then, lets face it, it IS all about the photos here.

A brief note from Fitsum in the meantime:

Nuff respect to MSTRKRFT, but how about them young bionic lions Nouveau Riche? They had all those hundreds of kids going bananas and nuts. It was damn near apocolyptic. Only a block and a half away from DC9 but a galaxy of difference in mass and scale. Will Eastman held it down to the ground as well, dropping my favorite “Born Slippy” before transitioning to the Royal Canadian swiggin KRFTRZ. Man, it was a pleasure to be in the company of winners.

TRUE STORY:

THIS SHIT WAS HUGE.

Now for the snaps:
First up some Fitsum overviewing (see the full, elaborate set right here right now)

Svetlana Says:

the only full size nipple you can see on here belongs to Chris Burns
(and I even kept that one on a 240×160 pixels image) and then there is like a quarter of a girl nipple exposed.

All fully fledged nudity has been sequestered to both protect the innocent and everyone’s virgin eyes.

What kind of work do you all work at when this is NSFW?
(just curious, really)

Michael Says:

If seeing a “nipple” is NSFW, then I’m betting perusing a website devoted to partying and events around the city is NSFW as well.

It’s not like your boss is going to see you looking at pictures of young kids dancing and say “Good Job, McWorkerson! I’m glad you’re worth the money I’m paying you” but then see the same pictures and see a bit of a little nipple and say ‘God Damnit McWorkerson! You’re fired!”

Jesse Says:

That first Carleton pic that Fits linked to is epic. It’s an ocean of partiers, and there’s like a subtle rainbow element that sets it off (check out the distinct red, yellow, green and violet folks toward the bottom of the pic). Plus, Jason Frantz’s head is in there somewhere, like “Where’s Waldo” without the stocking cap. Nice snap Carleton.

Jeff Jetton Says:

Clearly what’s NSFW is Chris Burns’ man nipple. My boss would fire me in a second if he walked into my office and I was looking at that.

June 3, 2008 at 11:35 am
Chris Burns Says:

where is my man nipple?

June 3, 2008 at 11:59 am
Svetlana Says:

this just goes to prove how SFW this thing is:
people can’t even spot their own (man) nipples.

Thanks for the compliments on the snaps. I think Will emailed them to Svetlana. But, I guess they didn’t meet editorial standards :-(

Lily Says:

great night, stopped by before Razzmatazz at the Cat
which was in-freaking-credible after 12:30 pm

kids were packing the floor of the 9:30, pumping fits like the raver days of Nation, with all the good and none of the bad

i particularly enjoy Blisspop because you get it all at the 9:30 when rock concerts usually don’t, like a packed dancefloor, less wait at the bars, and being able to walk around and enjoy the view from several unblocked/unpacked vantages

and the DJ setup on the stage was choice
well done gentlemen

the best part about the comments above is svetlana relentlessly defending/downplaying girls showing their tits. keep up the good work.

Svetlana Says:

Considering that my own have called me “DC’s Howard Stern” after the Moustrap-boob-fiasco, I don’t think we are in the market to downplay anything.

Though seriously, in this post-NOTHING to freak out about.

In this one however: http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/i-heart-dc/world-naked-bike-ride-dc-this-one-is-actually-nsfw/

I will admit I wasn’t crazy about the Black Cat boob-exposure…but you really have to look hard for something scandalous above. Maybe a weekly BYT “Where’s Nipple?” feature?

I could barely get my ass out of bed after the Taxlo extravaganza the night before. And where do I end up? Front and center, in more pictures than that tired, crusty t-shirt should ever be in. Next time, I’m wearing a prom dress and painting myself gold.

And yeah, the Nouveau Riche boys murdered. MASSACRED.

After the MSTRKRFT bacchanalian ridiculousness, I crawled to the Potomac, and have been floating up the Eastern Seaboard for several days toward Brooklyn to see Nouveau Riche and my closest butt-buddies DJ Kuntrock Kidd and Jean-Baptiste at the Hope Lounge in Williamsburg on Thursday. Bring your favorite safety equipment and throw it up (or at least throw up) for these kids:
