Check out the full set here.
True to form, Nouveau Riche returned to DC9 this past Saturday night. On top of it being the most humid day ever, it also happened to be the night that everyone and their mothers decided to descend upon DC9 because Nouveau Riche was THE party to be at. I started out the night anticipating going to the Black Cat first for Will Eastman’s Bliss, but never made it because I got like 7 different texts/voicemails from people telling me they were going to Nouveau. Sometimes the planets just align I guess.
Immediately, upon hitting the upstairs, it was like I walked into a wall of heat. It felt like someone had left the oven on 450 all day. The sweat started pouring off my face instantly; the air was so thick, I think I might have even begun levitating. Someone, I forget who now, commented that walking up the stairs you could feel the difference in temperature from one step to the other. Oh yeah, and there was a RIDICULOUS line, it was so crowded.
We had a little model runway to the bathroom interlude, strut your shit gurrrl.

Nothing hotter than a girl with a mustache, but that’s just me…

This reminds me of some kind of twisted cartoon character, but I don’t remember who at the moment… suggestions welcomed.
And then there was the Sparks slamfest, perhaps my favorite incident of the evening. Until Bill came over and yelled at these guys to stop destoying his lamp which they were tugging on. Sorry Bill.
‘Apparently Sparks stains not only your teeth and tongue, but your face as well, go figure.

And I leave you with naked, sweaty men. I mean, what else? New rule: it’s not a Nouveau party unless somebody takes their shirt off. Hats off the the Nouveau doods for killing it once again.
i love everything about nouveau riche except for the constant sweaty/hairy barebacked men wondering around and of course the sparks - i still don’t know how you youngins drink that ish!
hehehe
October 1, 2008 at 2:11 pm@oh the irony …
duh. THIS is 2003 in williamsburg, doofer.
on the longwinded tip: haters on BYT provide the least educated (confusing its with it’s. stay in school), most uninspiring, least gratifying reads in my time-wasting-at-work day. you could sum up the majority of their cackle down to a lispy “thith/you doodth thuck!” and a burp. the only way I can get a laugh or any smidgen of joy from your posts is by imagining what all you shrewfolk probably look like
October 1, 2008 at 2:37 pmshrewfolk!
October 1, 2008 at 2:50 pmwe’ve seen what you look like…i wouldnt go down that road.
October 1, 2008 at 2:51 pmAlso - when I was younger my parents got tricked into buying a time share in Williamsburg, VA so I had to go EVERY YEAR. Awful.
October 1, 2008 at 2:52 pmcale, that means busch gardens every year, compared to my family trips that sounds like a dream.
and i think he meant williamsburg NYC.
October 1, 2008 at 3:05 pmWell, no, let’s. I’m bloody handsome. Period.
And the majority of haterist comments on this site are buttchunks of utterly simplistic lameness. Yours included. Even you’re Anonyname. These are facts.
My point is, can’t anyone hate with even the slightest touch of cleverness? I mean, as it is, no one in history has ever cared to hear another person’s complaint. Why can’t all you pools of angry sweat put a little effort into it? And if it’s not worth even that, then why bother posting at all? Like, do you imagine Gavin or Steve or Andrew at their next Nouveau Riche meeting going over these comments and going, “Damn, guys. You know what? We thought it was W’burg in ‘03. But it’s not. So let’s just quit it.”
“Word”
“Hear Hear”
And Dakota’s going “Wow. I’ve been living in this nostalgic fog. But now I KNOW. It ain’t ever coming back!”
No, of course you don’t. You don’t imagine anything at all.
October 1, 2008 at 3:14 pmbtw, I’m done.
@Calemanda - I knows what he meant, I was being, you know, clever. And I really liked the field trips to Williamsburg VA when I was 7, 8, 9. You kidding me? Missing a whole day of school?
October 1, 2008 at 3:18 pmCome catch DJ Shrewfolk tearing up the 1’s and 2’s at your mom’s house. time and date to be determined.
October 1, 2008 at 3:30 pm…On a brighter note,
it was so much fun!!
October 1, 2008 at 3:36 pm@Sexmanda
Um yeah, I got the clever and ran with it. Sigh.
@DJ Shrewfolk
Is it true that DJ Baby Dick is doing a set as well?
October 1, 2008 at 3:37 pmAmanda always makes such genius comments. Sshhhh, Amanda. Just plain sshhhh. Your dignity will thank you.
October 1, 2008 at 3:41 pmcale: i don’t know how i feel about “sexmanda” but i suppose there are worse things you could call me.
anyway, my family trips consisted of exceptionally long drives in a mini-van to nowhere north carolina to visit family followed by more long drives and more old people who never remembered my name. my parents have finally realized that visiting family hardly counts as a “vacation.”
October 1, 2008 at 3:47 pmIf she changes her nick to Sexmanda she can say whatever whenever the hell she wants.
October 1, 2008 at 3:55 pmbtw Cale, I was really addressing Sexmanda. For a second there I was being as lazy as an anonymous commenter.
October 1, 2008 at 3:58 pmA little help, here?
October 1, 2008 at 4:05 pmThat was my first Nouveau. As great and sweaty as I hoped it would be. They played Fully Fitted, XXXchange’s new project — that was sick. And the dude dancing on the speaker was an animal. Good fun.
October 1, 2008 at 4:08 pmi was seriously impressed by the intensity of the crowd this time, and i have seen more than a few nouveau riches.
NEXT:

October 1, 2008 at 4:11 pmahahahahaha…
now, kinda, sorta back on topic, richmond has dance nights like these, but they always get shut down due to excessive underage drinking (some is expected) and drug use. lame. (i’ll talk more about that in my next write up)
October 1, 2008 at 4:19 pmsince when is being a fat wigger considered…handsome???
October 1, 2008 at 10:18 pmI’m in love w/ nouveau riche myself. And I kinda like drinkin’ Sparks.But I can’t stand women with staches….sorry….that’s just moi!
October 1, 2008 at 11:09 pm@oh they irony - why don’t you post a picture of yourself and make it a level playing field?
October 1, 2008 at 11:34 pmcame from philly to their jam last month at the hotel. the music was right and left like dc is actually kind of live. came back to this. this was the worst. seemingly anything tronic could have been played and kids would have been crazed. i think you all find this to be a good time cause you really have no other options or youre in dc for school by the way of who gives a fuck and dont know any better. funny what…im just saying.
October 2, 2008 at 2:31 amSomeone tell that blonde chick to never, ever, every try making pouty lips ever again.
Ever.
Seriously. Ever, never, ever, ever, never.
Sparks? Still? Can’t you people afford Red Bull and Vodka?
October 2, 2008 at 9:27 amCan’t we all just….get along?
October 2, 2008 at 11:43 amI’m pretty proud of being white actually
October 2, 2008 at 12:06 pmya, i dont get the association with these parties and sparks but somehow free is hard to beat. being a broke-ass bitch, myself. i will take what i can get.
it only sucks when they hand you sparks and then guerilla-style jump in front of you and snaps a photo: cheap marketing ploy. literally.
andrew’s set KILLLLLLED. btw.
October 2, 2008 at 12:18 pmWe’ve been doing free Sparks at tha riche for so long, even I don’t remember why we do it anymore. Why we beat ourselves up like this. I just don’t know.

October 2, 2008 at 5:13 pm@oh the irony
You’ve only scratched the surface of my gay ass pictures.
October 2, 2008 at 5:49 pmin all seriousness i didnt post that thread.
October 2, 2008 at 6:12 pmooooooooooooh, now I know who this Irony Oh Face bama is:. The pheer post was the give away.
dude, if you’re the guy who used to work at RnR Hotel, who thought the underwear party was so ‘corny’ (and you’re telling me this while working your new bartending job while you’re serving me and I’m tipping you pretty decently), then, look: you made your point. what’s keeping you from moving on? don’t you think it’s sad that you’ve got nothing better to do than to troll the site and drop little ineffective poopinions all over the place? Instead of focusing on shit that (allegedly) counts in your life like your band for instance? And what’s with this wigger noise? You know we see oneanother sooner or later at the bar homie, and you know you would never in your wildest balls-of-iron moments use words like that with me in real life. it’s not even about being a tough guy or anything. So come on man. you seem to be a nice guy. just let it go.
October 2, 2008 at 6:17 pm@Cale
I have to admit tho, that 3rd pic of shirtless you next to Timothy Leary is kinda bananas.
October 2, 2008 at 6:21 pmYeah, so that creepy old guy was following me around all night, then I look over and he has his cock out. I go up to Grace and was like “hey, you throw these little parties right?” she goes “yeah sort of” and I said “well just thought you should know there is an old creepy guy waving his wrinkle dick around over there” she was like “oooh, I’ll kick him out, I love kicking people out!”
And that kids, was how I met Grace.
October 2, 2008 at 6:43 pmsexy…im not that guy. no idea who youre are talking about. just saw that and posted the link. for reals.
October 2, 2008 at 7:15 pmGee golly, I love ALL of you guys. And I seriously mean ALL of you. I just want to give everyone here a big ol’ bear hug dog garn it.
By the way I am announcing my run for president of the United stated in 2012.
October 3, 2008 at 4:13 pmGash, some people just can’t have fun!
I had a blast as usual.
Thanks for bringing Nouveau Riche back to my beloved DC9 fellas.
Can we get a three cheers for Evan or what?
October 6, 2008 at 2:19 pmdancings fun but ya’ll should srsly make ppl keep their shirts on so riots dont break out like lollapaloostock 97.
anyone who makes fun of an event then uses pheer.com to further try and prove their point is simply tragic.
if you don’t like it then dont goto it and dont think about it.
2 cool 4 everything so stay at home.
sparks! irony outfits! djs!
fucking dorks…its not 2003 in williamsburg..
