Since October is one of the busiest months of the year, it made sense to split our normal offering into an early installment, & this special addition to cover the later weeks & Halloween…

If you missed it, Capitol Punishment provided an absolutely awesome night for the scene. Held in the elegance of Ultra Bar, it drew a truly magnificent crowd who played, partied, & danced all night long. Indeed, an incredible line-up of top DJ's offered a high level of energy to keep the dance floors buzzing, while top performers, go go's, models, & an array of luscious fashion provided just the right blend of entertainment & intrigue to balance out the evening.

And while the main show went on downstairs, up on the second level a beautiful crowd of scenesters mixed, mingled, & had a great time in the well equipped play space provided by DXS & SLYX. All in all, it was a fantastic night & a good time had by all.

We'd like to thank everyone who made it out, & EVERYONE who worked so hard to make it a night of pure magic. Indeed, I'd like to personally thank model Nicotine for putting her heart & soul into creating such a fabulous event & for making The Metro such a key player. Planning has already begun for 2010, so we'll look forward to seeing you next year!

In the meantime, we want to send along a few notes for the rest of the October Season…

Soon to be on Twitter!

Please note: VolGothic Sunday will NOT be held this Sunday (Sept 6th).  In order to accommodate Labor Day Weekend, Angel's Rock Bar has moved the date back to September 13th. Otherwise, all information is the same...

VolGothic Sunday (www.myspace.com/blackhawkmarket) Hosted in the expansive & elegant Angel's Rock Bar in Baltimore's Power Plant Live (to which, it's Sunday so they have the whole complex to themselves), Volgothic Sundays provides one of the area's best venues for the alternative club circuit. Indeed, with top DJ's, incredible surroundings, & a great crowd that's been building with each passing week, they've already come into their own as a player in the scene. Doors at 9pm (come early to socialize, but the crowd hits its stride around 11ish). Cover is $5.
 

It seems that the scene has witnessed a true resurgence as of late…

Indeed, this new found revival appears to carry a very real sense of possibility & a feeling of anticipation for what the future may hold. Like the phoenix rising from a period that was caught in relative obscurity, there seems to be a new level of stature that's beginning to quench the thirst of many & usher in a new era.

The past couple of weeks were really busy, & once again the DC & Baltimore Metro proved to be an active & vibrant scene for all those involved. 

So all this in only a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, there was just so much else going on that we weren't even able to even make a dent in such possibilities. And people wonder why we think it's crazy when someone speaks poorly of the DC / Baltimore scene. What a joke! There's SOOOO much to see & do.

So check the calendar & keep an eye out. There's never a dull night around town - you just have to look for it & take a step into the underground to explore all that it has to offer.

In the meantime, we'll hope to see you out & about sometime.

Just want to say the Studio 54 Party was absolutely INSANE!!! 

What a great night. It was a fantastic crowd with a lot of energy, an outstanding level of passion & play, with just the right mix of music, dance, & social intrigue. And what can we say about the bar? Outstanding - if I do say so myself...  The "Cocaine Line Body Shots" were a HUGE hit (powdered sugar actually). If you missed it, then be sure to catch us next year as there is already talk on the street for a repeat performance.

Word on the street is that Goth Prom & Camp Crucible were also an awesome time!
We're glad everyone had such a great holiday weekend...

We'll have the June Calendar updated soon.

Sun May 24th - Tabu Takeover / Studio 54 Party (www.luckyplayparty.com): British Lucky Paul once had a dream - to throw a party so huge that indeed it would be remembered forever. Soon he had an idea, to bring Studio 54 back from an era long since past & throw one of the best damn parties the scene had ever seen. So on Memorial Day Weekend, the original may be gone but you can relive a time of models & mayhem, decadence & desire. For one night, we'll take over the Tabu Social Club & transform it into a party of legendary stature. Indeed, a night worthy of its name & reputation: Studio 54...

The art of Batik uses an application of melted wax & dye to fine fabrics, & then dissolves the wax to reveal a distinctive character of rich color & depth. Each article is a hand-crafted one-of-a-kind piece that raises the elegance of high fashion to wearable art. 

Held at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, we invite you to an evening of beautifully bold & innovative creations from one of the world's most exotic cultures. Presented by The Friends of the Torpedo Factory, & Batik Designer Sharifah Maheran Barakbah, the event runs from 6pm-9pm. All apparel will be available for sale, refreshments will be provided, & the event is free to the public.  Program is scheduled to start at 7pm.

The next couple of weeks have so much happening that we've decided to make a special mid-month effort to let you know what's going on.  In fact, why head all the way up to Montreal for Kinetic or England for Torture Garden with such great stuff in the works?

Fri 15th - First, we want to wish Model Nicotine a Very Happy Birthday!

Rapture takes place in DC's coolest 'Speakeasy' location (with the look & feel of a completely underground venue, but with all permits in place & legalities fully confirmed).

In case you miss him, DJ Rex will also be making an appearance this week at Midnight.

And in case you haven't heard…

Thu 21st - Exposure hosts Das Ich w/ Soil & Eclipse, & Red This Ever live! A must see. 

If you're going to the show, then why not get the night started with Dark Odyssey - hosting one of the city's best alternative happy hours (located in their own dedicated room in the upstairs bar of the Dupont Italian Kitchen).

Sun May 24th - Tabu Takeover / Studio 54 Party (www.luckyplayparty.com): A guy named British Lucky Paul once had a dream - to throw a party so huge that indeed it would be remembered forever. Soon he had an idea, to bring Studio 54 back from an era long since past & throw one of the best damn parties the scene had ever seen.

Stuck in DC?  Then from the people of Alchemy, one of DC's greatest traditions continues: Goth Prom will be hosted by Town Dance Club & will carry an all star lineup of top DJ's in the scene. 

And later in the month…

Sat 30th - Red This Ever will be performing Live at Midnight.

Counter to the mainstream, DC TNG will host its Summer Kick-Off BBQ held at Judy's Lavish Dungeon.  Go time is 6pm. Party rolls until 3am. And yes, the grills will be smokin'.


*** Also of Special Note: It has just been announced (via soft sell email list) that VNV Nation will be coming to the 9:30 Club on July 21st. Get your tickets as soon as possible as they're expected to sell out soon after public notification is made available.

But these are only a few of the great events happening for the rest of May!  Ranging from any number of affairs hosted by The Crucible, BESS, Black Rose, Tabu, & Capitol Cream (to name only a few), to Bound's Uniform Party at Asefu, or even Wine in the Woods in the Symphony Woods of Merriweather Post Pavilion, there's something going on for everyone & every taste imaginable.
