President’s Day for Night
Get out your sunblock! Today, February 17, between 5 and 9 p.m., you can do more than just dream of summer. You can actually plan for it at the annual Beach House Rush & Reunion Party, a Rehoboth Beach tradition, this year at the Delirium/Circuitry party at Pasha on P Street NW. Stop in and find or fill a Rehoboth Beach house. You can also meet the Rehobus models. Then stick around for dancing to the beats of DJs Jason Horswill and Josh Gram, as part of another weekend, another Cherry preview party. 
After you’ve filled your Beach Blanket Bingo card, you might consider popping over to Calor’s holiday Sunday party at Five, with its take on Carnaval. Bring your (anal) beads if you want, but Calor’s Lorenzo De’Almeida, a native of Brazil (the country, not the movie), says he hopes people will wear costumes. “The more costumes the better,” he says, though Hearsay doesn’t think he means you should dress up like Elmer Fudd and come ready to hunt wabbits. Try sporting a simple mask and cape instead. The beats, sure to be as extravagant and complicated as any costume, come courtesy of Junior Vasquez-protege Chad “You Don’t Know” Jack.
And finally, tonight also brings Taint to DC9, the ever-popular holiday-Sunday dance party for alt-queers, where dressing like a grunge-version of Elmer Fudd is quite possibly encouraged. The beats will arrive courtesy of one of the very first members of the all-female D.C. First Ladies DJ Collective, DJ K La Rock, who will spin “electro, freestyle, italo-disco, hip-hop, dance-punk and broken beat,” which Hearsay reckons is her way of saying “I’m indecisive”….
