we took the "drink me" theme pretty seriously

you guys! the famous dj was here in town all last week, and i have yet to blog about it! also i only managed to take pictures during one evening during that entire time, so basically i suck in multi-faceted ways.

but! while she was here we went out with some of my friends, saw a concert, played shuffleboard with other friends, looked at apartments, day drank, were fed homemade shawarma by the amazing marie, and also had a wee night out with some of the local gals at Madhatter.

where, fyi? you can order a hotdog COVERED IN MAC & CHEESE. IT IS AS AMAZING AS IT SOUNDS, AND YES IT REQUIRES ALL CAPS WHEN DISCUSSING IT:
so! anyway! after a delightful dinner with many of the dc girls, a few of us stayed for some dancing. turns out the drinks there are really good, too. uh, REALLY good.

so good that most of my pictures look a lot like THAT one. where it's obvious that we're having a great time, and it's equally obvious that i should not be in charge of taking photos.

and yet! i continued to take them!

please excuse our sweatiness, as we had been dancing for quite some time at this point. we were also busy getting hit on A LOT, which was equal parts hilarious and awesome. after one guy went into quite the opening spiel to get our attention, then did a laughably transparent hand off to get me talking to his friend, i looked at him pityingly and said "so, you guys into the mystery method, i see?" which, turns out, takes the wind out of an aspiring PUA's sails rather effectively.

after drinking and dancing and flirting and kissing (HEE!), we called it a night. while throwing gang signs and refusing to stand on the right, obviously, because we are HARDCORE, Y'ALL.

(marie was jealous about the totally sweet black bar that dj gets to protect her anonymity, so i gave her some fly sunglasses here.)
