Hearsay drinks too much. This is common knowledge. Hearsay likes its scotch and vodka and bourbon and beer and red wine — all mixed together. Sometimes this blending of the devil’s brews (also known as alkyhole), causes Hearsay to make a goof in its irregular but vastly informative and infinitely entertaining print column. Which is what happened in yesterday’s Metro Weekly, as Hearsay noted that Cobalt’s new, forthcoming dance party Shift would be held this Saturday when in fact it’s NEXT Saturday, Feb. 28. This Saturday, Feb. 21, is Cobalt’s Bare dance party, which is for the ladies. Which, of course, means that there will be little frilly cocktail dresses and cucumber sandwiches, not to mention big, oversized cucumbers themselves… although those aren’t for eating, if you catch Hearsay’s ribald drift.
So let’s repeat:
This Saturday, Feb. 21, Bare.
Next Saturday, Feb. 28, Shift.
At Cobalt, 17th & R Streets NW.
Okay, Hearsay is going back to its Gin and Campari….
