Maison's 1-Year Birthday Celebration

There's a lot to celebrate at Maison next Thursday.  First of all, it gave me a reason to stop being lazy and keep up with this blog.  Secondly, it marks our return to Napoleon Bistro Lounge, where it all began.  And most importantly, this month we celebrate Maison's 1-Year Anniversary.

Check back for updates on drink specials and a preview mix!

our weekend starts on wednesday: happy bday @lilel!

I love Wednesday nite shenanigans!  Luckily there's plenty to go around tomorrow

Triple Threat Birthday Bash @ Science Club

My homie Lil' El will be celebrating her birthday this Wednesday at her weekly party Ill Element @ The Science Club... but with a twist.  She's having an open DJ booth! RIDICULOUS!  I'll be having a short set  along with some of DC's best.  Stop by and enjoy some great vegetarian food and drinks in the process.

Pink Sock Presents: Zak Efron's Pink Pajama Party @ Wonderland Ballroom

This is definitely one of my favorite new parties in DC, and I had one of the best times DJing it last month.  My Maison sidekick Shea Van Horn joins Ryan Duncan and Bradley Portnoy in DJing this month's Zak Efron inspired party at the amazing Wonderland Ballroom.

forget NYE, what are your January 2nd plans?

If you didn't get BYT tickets before they sold out haven't figured out what you're doing for New Year's Eve yet, well.. you're out of luck (actually I'll be making a post later about fun last minute NYE ideas, including an event I'm DJing at Vinoteca).

But with all the discussion about NYE, many have overlooked the numerous parties going on this Saturday, January 2nd.  You'll either have to make some tough choices or go for a marathon night.  I vote the latter.

First Up: Homo/Sonic @ The Black Cat
The boys from The New Gay, Zach and Michael, continue their monthly and legendary party Homo/Sonic this Saturday, and will joined by DJ Natty Boom.  Natty Boom is out of the Anthology of Booty DJ Crew and hosts the Backdoor party at the 9:30 Club Backbar.  Homo/Sonic can also boast of being the first queer indie dance party in DC in 2010, although I bet BYT's NYE party will be pretty gay too. Homo/Sonic is coed, trans-inclusive, straight friendly, and really fucking fun.  RSVP on facebook here: Homo/Sonic 2010

Next Up: KIDS @ DC9
A bunch of us gays were at the last Kids party, and we were dancing our faces off.  My girl Lil' El hosts this all 90s Hip Hop party once a month with DJs Steve Starks,  Nacey, and Jackie O.  DC9 is also right next to Nellie's if you need an excuse to stop by Kids.  But just to warn you, you will end up spending most of your night here.

More incentives include the following:
FREE entry before 10PM
FREE Old English before 10PM
FREE condoms all night

RSVP on FB here: KIDS @ DC9

Last Up: CODE @ EFN Lounge

CODE is a Gear, Rubber, Skin, Uniform or Leather Dress Code Party at EFN Lounge (1318 9th St NW).  My boy Shea Van Horn, who does Maison with me as well as Mixtape and Raw, will be DJing January's CODE party.  This party sounds crazy: open bar from 9-10PM plus tons of guys in gear doing demos and shit.  You can also find me DJing here for the Wet & Wild party on January 13th.


RSVP here on FB: CODE @ EFN Lounge 

Maison The Recap:

Well- Last night was very fun and interesting.  Maison was truly a mixed crowd last nite, something I think DC needs more of!  The Napoleon regulars and the Maison boys truly did mesh well and the vibe was great.  The music was cool if I do say so myself.  I think Shea and I traded places last nite- he played some pretty heavy French house, and I was playing more down-tempo French nu-disco.  It was fun!  Thanks to Napoleon Bistro Lounge for having us (sorry about the shirtless boy (yeah, just one), the broken mirror, and the near fight? i dunno it got crazy).  We'll try and tame those straight boys next time!

Here's my set list (I'll add Shea's when I get it)

great write up about @maisondc on brightest young things!

BYT did a great feature about the new monthly i'm doing w/ Shea Van Horn called Maison!  Maison is a French house and electro night that starts in exactly one week (Thursday, October 22nd) at Napoleon in Adams Morgan.  1/2 price champagne drinks and appetizers!  WOOT.  Hope to see you betches there.

I love this quote they put in the preview: 

"PEOPLE you’ll see: Brigitte Bardot (hey, with half-price champagne cocktails, you just may be seeing Brigitte Bardot by the end of the night)."
