The first Cruisin' ever happened last Thursday. Odyssey, set sail on the newly defrosted Potomac with everyone from BDL:DC's finaliststs (incl. Betsy Lowther, Eric Brewer, Holly Thomas, US Royalty, Valli, Carole Greenwood), assorted other DC recognizables (Matthew Hemerlein, Michael Andrew Harris of Laughing Man, Anna Furhmann of Proper Topper, Fashion BS podcast crew, Maria of Righteous Restyle, Ryan of Pink Sock...) and a bunch of people wearing fishermen's nets, fake parrots and eyepatches. It was pretty awesome.
But, enough of the namedrops.
Beautiful Swimmers DJed in one room making it the coolest prom you never attended, and we had the Best Dresseds, Chris Burns DC Dot Com, and Cale play their ipods in the loungier suite, people danced, juggled corn dogs, ate snow cones provided by the long-suffering, costume-wearing BYT intern staff and we hope everyone is looking forward to next time, which will probably happen during the Cherry Blossom festival. We'll keep you posted.
And as always: THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING OUT

My prom was actually on a boat just like that and this party took a steaming crap on prom (talking to you "the Spirit of Philadelphia"). Thanks to the organizers.
Also, Cale's last minute DJ-ing on the secondary dance floor put a nice cap on the night. Great playlist.
We had so much fun that I forgot to actually look out the windows at the sights - will need to take the cruise again (but with less cocktails!). It was nice that it wasn't super crowded - it was more like a cool dinner party with friends (and corndogs!). One request - can there be more vegetarian items at your events? You can actually buy veggie corndogs - they are goooooood.
Who was that girl with the video camera!?
That IS a sweet picture of Sundar & I. Thanks BYT! We had an awesome time!
