Why I Love Sabrina's Birthday at Midtown

Let me count the ways:

10. Saturday nights at Midtown are the best
9. They let in an even ratio of guys to girls meaning everyone has a chance to get some
8. All the inaugural tourists won’t be in town yet
7. I’m excited to meet Sabrina, she looks cute on the flyer
6. Reese Gardner is hosting the party, he’s a hottie and he knows how to throw down
5. Tables are still available: rsvp@midtown-dc.com
4. it’s Midtown - ‘nuff said
3. DJ Spaz spinning Old School Hip hop, Top 40 Mash Ups and Sabrina's favorite dance tunes
2. Ladies get in free
 
And most importantly of all…

1. $60 bottles of Moet Champi ALL NIGHT!!!!

Saturday, January 10th – be there.

I'm Baaack

I know you missed me. I needed some time off during the holidays. Here’s a quick recap of everything you missed in my life in chronological order:

Saw Marley & Me (my date fell asleep - yes it was that bad), hit up the 70% off sale at Tickled Pink and got really cute stuff, ate and drank enough to keep a small village fat and drunk for a year, spilled wine on my blackberry, dropped a green cupcake on my silk dress, thought I had a flat tire, canceled all my plans for the day to get my car towed, moved my car off the curb and discovered that is wasn’t flat at all, chipped my front tooth – horrible I look like a redneck, covered an entire bar full of people with silly string, became obsessed with silly string, got ready to go to my parents house and went down to the parking garage only to discover that I had left my car at Meagan’s house the night before, got a cab to my car, dropped my Christmas tree while trying to throw it away and got pine needles all over my apartment, spilled red wine all over Devon’s sweater, washed Devon’s sweater in the sink, Caesar Millan-ed Roxy, performed an interpretive dance to “All I Want for Christmas is You”, got the Jillian Michaels work out book and decided to become ripped like Jillian Michaels.  That's about it.  Don't you feel like you were with me all week?
 
I also discovered the iBreath. It’s a breathalyzer that plugs into your iPod or iPhone so you’ll never have to guess if you are too drunk to drive… or you can use it with your friends to see who gets the highest BAC from taking a shot. This was a good holiday gift… since the holidays are over you could get it as a valentine’s day gift I guess… although diamonds would probably be better received.

Puke N Rally

So you’re struggling from the party at Tattoo last night… i feel your pain and I’m right there with you. What an awesome crowd. And those pink banger-something or another drinks: so tasty and strong. Whenever Cap File hosts the party it’s a sophisticated (until 3 drink o’clock), good looking crowd, which it was. I of course, was a hot mess by the end of the night (Christmas trees much) and put myself to bed at a reasonable hour for a Thursday night unlike those who marched on until 3:30am like rockstars. You know who you are and I'm very proud.

The point is that it is now time to puke and rally. Pull yourself together, get some fast food, burn one down, pop some pills… do whatev you need to do to get back in the game tonight because Noel Sanger will be at Lotus. You’re asking yourself, “Who the F is Noel Sanger?” I was wondering the same thing. But he is actually like, the king of the rave scene… Like Miley Cyrus to pop or Jenna Jameson to porn or Chuck Bass to Gossip Girl… like raving couldn’t exist without this guy evidently.
 
So if you’re new to electronic music, this is the night to check it out. 
 
You can read a novel about him on the FB page for the event and even check out his creepy, “I’m a Really Big Weirdo and Shouldn’t Put My Picture on Things” picture. Or if you really don’t care about this lengthy, detailed biography which is just short of telling us this dudes shoe size and dental history, just go to Lotus tonight and listen to him. It will bring out a big crowd and should be really fun.
 
Game faces people. The rain stopped so you won’t even melt.

Furry Friday

This Friday, put on your boots with the fur (obvi fake, no one does real fur anymore), and head to Midtown for the Washington Humane Society fundraiser. You’ll get a free shot for every blanket or pillow that you bring. It will be great to see who pulls up in a car full of pillows hoping to get a whole bottle for free (i.e. that’s what I’m planning on doing).    

I love that Midtown is doing this party. The Humane Society is near and dear to my heart. I love dogs and it’s so amazing that the Washington Humane Society provides for over 20,000 animals per year. I’ve actually started volunteering at the MC humane society – and you thought i was so totally selfish!
 
Friday will obvi be a fun party because Midtown is amaz, but there’s nothing better than knowing that your drinking problem is actually supporting a good cause. Here are more party deets on FB.

Too much PDA

I’m about to incriminate myself…

Just last month I was out at Lotus with a few of my besties. My memory is a bit hazy but I do remember my friends pounding the bar with their fists chanting “make out, make out” like we were in 5th grade playing spin the bottle (evidently my friends are pretty lame). They were yelling at me to make out with one of my good guy friends. I’m not one to stand up to peer pressure, so of course, like an obedient prepubescent teen, i did what they told me.

Tattoo Anni Party

Tattoo has been open a year?! I was shocked too. It feels like this 80’s haven just opened yesterday. I also sometimes still feel like a 16 year old dancing queen… I guess time really does fly.
 
As most of you know, Tattoo is my fave bar in DC and I’m proud to say that they are almost as obsessed with birthdays as I am… i.e. they are throwing a huge birthday bash with Capitol File Mag and Belvedere on Thursday, December 11. 
 
From 7-9pm you will only get in if you know someone. They are hosting an ultra VIP reception with a super strict guest list and gift bags from Urban Chic and Metromix. You have a little more than a week to weasel your way onto the list… get on it. Beginning at 9pm they will open the door to the guest list and bottle service only. Email rsvp@tattoobardc.com
 
Birthdays are really important and should not be ignored. I once dated a guy who ignored my birthday so I promptly gave him the boot. Note to self: Cake, tiaras, shots and off-key singing are mandatory for birthdays no matter how old you are.
 
In honor of the Britney CD dropping this week, you should probably leave your panties at home.

High School Reunion Time

All of you from the DC area know that the night before Thanksgiving is when everyone you ever knew and wanted to forget from high school comes back into town and wants to “catch up” on the last year of your life. Whether you love seeing these old “friends” or deal with this time of year by drinking yourself silly, you absolutely can not avoid it by sitting on your couch. The only acceptable excuse for missing the impromptu high school reunion is a 5-star vacay to somewhere warm where you can sip frozen drinks in the sand and laugh about how superior your life is to those stuck in 30 degree temps. Otherwise my friend, it’s time to face all those hallway people you never cared about, put on a smile and take some shots to deal with the season (by “some” i mean a lot). 

Rest assured that you, the hip DC socialite, will be prepared to take your visitors to the best spots and show them how we party – capitol style.  Read on...

Saw you at Midtown… Were you hot or a hot mess?

Most likely you were looking hot, because the crowd at Midtown on Friday and Saturday night looked more like NYC than DC. Hundreds of people came out decked in their finest, ready to let loose and have a good time. 

So you showed up late and couldn’t make it past the bouncer? No worries. There’s another grand opening party at Midtown tomorrow night. Click here to see deets on facebook. 
 
I pulled some of the hottest and funniest pics from the opening. Click on “Read More” below to see all of them.

Another DC TV Show?

Have you heard of Washingtonienne? A self-acclaimed “actor/writer/model” bar tender who I met last night told me about this and I can’t believe that it’s the first I’m hearing about it.

I know you are flashing back to the 2004 blog written by Capitol Hill intern Jessica Cutler (the “DC Slut”), about her sex life who used the initials of friends and co-workers and totally outted them resulting in a huge Capitol Hill scandal. Nope, not her. No comeback in her future (she’s such a Britney).
 
This comedy, produced by Sarah Jessica Parker (LOVE her) and directed by Mark Mylod (think Entourage), is based on three girls in their twenties working on Capitol Hill. They’ve already shot a pilot episode in DC and are looking to air the series on HBO. 
 
Hopefully SJP keeps these characters classy and doesn’t perpetuate the image that all Capitol Hill interns are having sex with high-powered politicians for money like Cutler did… well, wait… maybe they all are.    
 
Either way, if this means that SJP is going to be hanging in DC, I’m cool with it.  She’ll prob start reading my blog soon.
