A couple of new kids on the block are making some noise as they launch onto the DC social blogging scene, going so far as to attack WaPo’s nightlife going out guru Fritz Hahn, The Washingtonian’s hotter than hot Catherine Andrews and even a lady after our own bigheaded hearts Ms. Kelly Ann Collins. (They call her “a 30 or 40-something washed up self-proclaimed socialite who hasn’t written anything relevant in years” ).

Them’s fighting words, of course, but, turns out, the kids are rather shy. Going under the anonymous moniker “DC Nightlife Raw,” they desperately do not want you to know who they are. They explain thusly:

We’re a group of seasoned District veterans with possibly the best connections to “inside information” throughout the D.C. nightlife and social scene. Meaning, if you’ve heard about it, we’re already bored of going there. As a result, we want to tackle the “real” questions regarding D.C. nightlife, events, restaurants and happenings with a no holds bar philosophy.

But who REALLY are we?

Well, wouldn’t that be nice if we actually told you? Unfortunately, our positions at certain companies and/or organizations prohibit us from doing so. Plus, the sheer fact of admitting that we write a blog would be akin to social suicide. But rest assured, our need for anonymity will not prevent us from exercising the utmost journalistic integrity in the information and stories we publish.

Hmm… Sound like a whole lotta talk to you? Yeah, we thought so, too. So! We did a little digging…made a few phone calls, tracked a few IP addresses…

And, yeah, we figured some things out that the kids probably wouldn’t want you to know.

So! We’ll keep mum (for now), as we keep one eye cocked on their nightlife exploits…

(And, yes, the secret of their identity is even better than their revelation today that a highly-reviewed Penn Quarter restaurant is currently acting as a front for an all-night brothel.)
