The Return of Rauhofer

As far as Hearsay knows, Peter “I Love Vienna Sausages” Rauhofer hasn’t been to D.C. since he spun for Cherry’s main event a whole three years ago. So it’s pretty momentous that he’ll be here Saturday, May 30 for a “Summer Heat Special Event.” Never mind that this is an ostensibly straight party, at a verifiably straight venue — Ibiza Nightclub at 1222 First St. NE. Rauhofer’s Star 69 Records labelmates’ Samio and Nima Nas bbbbbb– heck, they’re his employees! — will open for him, when the event kicks off at 10 p.m. Expect Rauhofer to go on around midnight, though a $4 special on domestic and rail ends then, so don’t dilly-dally. The party ends at 3 a.m. Check out Ibiza’s website to get reduced admission before 11 p.m.

Even if they can’t take their shirts off, the gay boys will be out in force for this Grammy-winning gay dance music legend, trust. Hearsay will, too. When hot boys keep their shirts on, it adds a bit of mystery, and a whole lot of peekaboo fun. Not to mention, wandering glances from straight boys. Hearsay lives for such flirty friction.
