How New Jersey fist pumped its way into DC’s inner sanctum
You thought it was a joke when South Park spoofed it…
You couldn’t believe it when Glow booked DJ Pauly D…
And now Jersey has reached the inner sanctum of Washington, DC
Lady Gaga becomes creative director for Polariod. Really?
You may not be able to reach her telephone but soon you will be able to see as she does. Yes, we are speaking of Lady GaGa. When Polaroid appointed Lady GaGa as creative director, we knew interesting things would come. A company that was beginning to seem obsolete, as digital still took over and instant film was becoming irrelevant, will get new life in the recently announced Grey Label by Haus of GaGa (Lady GaGa).
Perhaps the most exciting piece is the new GL20 sunglass-camera. We have seen devices such as auto-dimming, music playing, and even Bluetooth sunglasses by Oakley but this is something completely new and unique. They are not only functioning sunglasses but also a Bluetooth enabled camera with one of the earpieces functioning as storage USB stick style. When you take a picture with the sunglass camera, the outward-facing display puts it on display for all to see. So soon, when you see someone in the club with sunglasses on, be careful of your reaction, it just may end up in digital.
When asked what the camera of the future was, Lady GaGa did not make many friends at Polaroid. Her response? The camera phone. I beg to differ; those cameras built into sunglasses look pretty futuristic to me. Regardless, the GL10 portable printer will be able to print from either, wirelessly and instantly without ink. In a size that fits into your oversized handbag (ladies) you don’t need to be afraid to bring it with you.
When thinking of Polaroid cameras what comes to mind is a large clunky camera that spits out images that take a while to be anything more than a reddish blob. Updating into the digital world, Polaroid now has an instant digital camera, which prints as well as saves pictures directly on the camera. You also have the option of previewing the picture before printing, something demanded in this day.
So when can you get your hands on some GaGa gear? The current word is by holiday season 2010, which has already passed. Who knows what GaGa magic we may see next but we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

What’s your Sign? You Probably Don’t Even Know
Ophiuchus aka Serpentarius
The serpent-holder; seeker of wisdom, lucky … 11/29 – 12/17
The argument has existed for thousands of years, but with the strength of Facebook and Twitter, it has finally reached the masses. Minnesota-based astronomer and professor Paul Kunkle claims the existence of a 13th Zodiac sign. Technically he’s right.
Here is the newly proposed schedule:
- Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16
-
Aquarius: Feb. 16 – March 11 - Pisces: March 11- April 18
- Aries: April 18- May 13
- Taurus: May 13- June 21
- Gemini: June 21- July 20
- Cancer: July 20- Aug. 10
- Leo: Aug. 10- Sept. 16
- Virgo: Sept. 16- Oct. 30
- Libra: Oct. 30- Nov. 23
- Scorpio: Nov. 23- Nov. 29
- Ophiuchus: Nov. 30- Dec. 17
- Sagittarius: Dec. 17- Jan. 20
The zodiac is a group of constellations that lie within the path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of a year. The Sun technically touches the tip of Orphiuchus, but just barely.
Other astronomers and astrologists are split. South Florida’s self-proclaimed ‘master astrologer’ Jeffrey Brock says its not true. Miami astrologer Ron Archer and Puerto Rican astrologer Walter Mercado say it’s legit. That’s three against one by our count.
The word zodiac comes from Latin via the Greek words ‘zodiakos kuklos’ which means ‘circle of animals.’ And that’s why your sign is associated with an animal.

Pauly D tells us his wild stories as a DJ and guido while backstage with us in DC before ripping up the dancefloor at his sold-out show at Glow in October!
Pauly D is doing what few have done. He’s exposing a pop audience to good dance music. A DJ long before his rise to fame on Jersey Shore, Pauly D is now able to pull ’em in with PoP and put ’em on to guys like Avicii, Wolfgang Gartner, Dennis Ferrer and Afrojack. Big ups braaaahhh
Pauly D returns to DC 1/29/11 at Glow at Fur Nightclub! (Get tickets and info)
p.s. Check out the pictures from the last time we had Pauly D in Washington DC!
Avicii is back in Washington DC!
When Avicii first played for us in July 2010, he put on an a killer show that filled the house nicely. (See pics) But just three short months later, when Avicii returned to Washington DC, he absolutely ripped DC a new one! It was packed wall-to-wall with rabid screaming fans seeking more Bromance! (See pics)
With such a rapid ascent to fame in just a three-month period, can you imagine how nuts its going to be now that three more months have passed? We had to move it to a much larger venue to hold the massive crowd expected when Avicii returns to DC on Jan 15!
Exclusive Interview with Avicii in Washington DC–
October 21, 2010See what one of the most in-demand producers of 2010 has to say for himself as he rips up our dancefloor at Club Glow DC in an exclusive interview in the Nation’s Capital! Avicii returns to rock Washington DC on Saturday, January 15th 2011 at Glow at Fur!
If you are one of the few who still haven’t caught on that Avicii packs the house and puts on an incredible show, you should probably come by Glow at Fur Nightclub DC on Saturday, January 15th, 2011 to see what all the fuss is about!

Snow Party Tuesday 1/11/11 at Lima!
Any time the “S” word is uttered around Washington DC, people naturally start freaking out. No, I’m not talking about “shit”, I’m talking about “snow”.
Even though we’re only expecting a dusting of snow at best, people are canceling plans, raiding grocery stores, and stealing snowshovels from their neighbors all in fear of the impending barrage of white powder.
But because we’re a little more level-headed, we’re throwing a party! And I know what you’re thinking: Nobody comes out to clubs when it snows. Not true. Not when we’re the ones throwing the party.
Its Tuesday Night at Lima Lounge DC, and it runs and is packed every Tuesday, even when it snows. Get the details and the FREE ENTRY PASSES right here.
See the pictures from the last SNOW PARTY AT LIMA!
Does Lady Gaga Ever Cease to Amaze?
Pop-icon Lady Gaga dropped in recently at The Oak Bar at the NY Plaza unannounced to perform two classics; Gershwin’s “Someone to Watch Over Me,” and Nat King Cole’s “Orange Colored Sky.” There’s no bluffing it, the girl’s got talent, poker face or not.
The Lady Gaga after party with VH1 and Semi-Precious Weapons at Ultrabar was reckless. She can feel free to belt out Gershwin and Nat King in DC anytime she likes, especially in those garters! Ow!!
