Bumping for Howard's Homecoming.

http://thefabempire.com/2011/10/20/an-insiders-guide-to-howard-university-homecoming-2011/

Find all the events there.
Expect normal clubs and lounges to be two to three times more expensive to get in. There will be chicks from all over the place so don't be thirsty. Play your hand right and you'll have some out of state trips to make after Sunday.

Get your directions from people actually from D.C. or use GPS. Don't wind up where you don't belong.

U Street is going to be on fire and pretty much any club with a headliner or special guest will be seeing lines stretched out front.

Have fun, enjoy my city!

My girl lives in MD now for Gradschool ( Loyola/University of B more ) and I've been exploring DC on weekends.

My favorite spot was " The Library " but last week was their last party before the spot closed down for good.

I found some afterhour african/reggae spots.
African chicks look cool and are friendly, especially if you dance.

I'll report back with some more.

:yes:The Howard Theater opens back up today.:yes:

Monday, April 9, 9:00 PM
Wale performs in the renovated venue
620 T St. NW. Doors open at 7:00PM. $35/advance
This is a serious honor to be the 1st act to perform in the newly renovated theater. Dude better handle his biz.

Gotta understand the history...

Before the Apollo, before the Regal, there was The Howard Theatre. At its opening in 1910 it was "the largest colored theatre in the world." Sadly shuttered and neglected since the early 1980s, the once majestic building with its "trunk of soul" has survived death in order to be reborn in 2012.

For most of the 20th century, The Howard Theatre, located in the
heart of Washington, DC, near the corner of 7th and T, held audiences captive with music, dance, drama and comedy. Speakers like Booker T. Washington shared the stage with musicals, road shows, vaudeville acts, theater productions and community programs. Later, Washington's favorite son Duke Ellington opened a new era of jazz big bands on The Howard's stage.

When the nation was deeply divided by segregation, The Howard Theatre provided a place where color barriers blurred and music unified. The Washington Bee dubbed it the "Theatre for The People" for it was the place where dignitaries, like President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the First Lady gathered with everyday folks to see both superstars and rising stars – many of whom debuted at The Howard Theatre. Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Eckstine, Billy Taylor and Bill Kenny of the Ink Spots made way for talents like The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Brown, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gilespie, Shirley Horn, and comedians Petey Greene, Dick Gregory, Redd Foxx and Moms Mabley.

The Howard Theatre inspired change, yet felt the impact of a nation in flux following the 1968 riots. Eventually, the degradation of the neighborhood forced the theater to close. After several false starts in the late '70s and early '80s to reinvigorate The Howard, the curtains fell.
