Photos: House of Sweden After Dark Party

Revelers at the House of Sweden party check out art.
Washingtonians took over the Swedish Embassy on Friday night for the second House of Sweden After Dark party. Organizers hoped to recreate the energy of February's inaugural soiree, which was deemed a smashing success, but without inciting a similar mob scene. This time, they raised the ticket price to $20 and nixed the open bar.
People trickled in slowly at first, but by 10:30, the sold-out party had turned in to a breathing-room only affair. Swarms of cocktail-attired twentysomethings took to the dance floors inside and on the VIP-only roof deck. DJs spun tracks from 9 until midnight. The two cash bars and plates of tasty Swedish bites kept the crowd energized.

Gone are the robust bureaus for the Los Angeles Times, Newhouse News, and other once-healthy news organizations. Digital media bureaus now are taking their places with as many reporters and plenty of swagger.
