Kan't Kwite Kope? Kome Kavort w/ Kris Kross @ Kostume Karaoke!
Solly's may have thought they'd been ravaged before when a taxicab plowed thru the bay window back in January, but further plowed they there stood as creative forces (and a few PBRs) let loose a Gang Out gone wild.
I know you wanna leave me; But I refuse to let you go; If I have to beg, plead for your sympathy; I don't mind 'cause you mean that much to me... Upon arriving at said democratically elected Gang Out location, the group found a fellow once-gang-outed ("Outed" for short) individual lounging at what was, in their book, the perfect American bar experience - prospective lawyers out there, take note. Only a couple of hours later, yet another Outed individual just so happened to be at this all-too-perfect of American bars. So without any clear intention on their part, the Gang Out refused to let these two go. You should really join us next time - after all, we ain't too proud to beg.
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line; Engines pumping and thumping in time; The green light flashes, the flags go up; Churning and burning, they yern for the cup... The night started out calm and collected, and on the ground floor, one might add. As the forces combined and the elixir elixed, 8:00 rolled around and we descended upon the upstairs. (is it absurd to descend upon the UPstairs? we hope so.) Unclear as to if it was the caress of the PBRs or the melodic rhythm of "Larry" - something got that party started... in costume. From lump to hump, and life to strife, we were going the distance.
Some days I pray for silence, and somedays I pray for soul; Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll... And while costumes varied from Marge Simpson and Harriet the Untamed Shrubbery to Pocahontas and the Confederate Ladies Man, even the surprise of Kostume Karaoke and the mad beatz that were rocked didn't beat the surprise appearance of a Gang Out regular late in the evening and on cue. She may sport Xena garb, but everyone knows she won't do that.
Missed out? Lame. We met a professional karaoker with a hot kicking kick, a Howard University camera crew, and a somewhat irritated hostess who happily accepted tips in exchange for "queue readjustment..." Redeem yourself next week by rhyming with Vaseline, magazine, and tangerine... go!

Happy Hour 3 2 5
Hola peoples.
A great man once said, "Vote or die." Personally, I don't want to die. So here are the options:
Solly's. U Street. Solly's and Charlie Jones share one thing in common: we were both hit by a car.
Big Hunt. Dupont. They have Big Game Hunter. Charlie Jones has never held a gun before, but saw one on the floor of a bowling alley in St Louis after the guy holding the place up dropped it. Awesome.
Dan's Cafe. Adams Morgan. The name would make you think it's some sort of sandwich shop. Haha. Let's just say, if you vote for Dan's, you vote for extreme drunkedness and Charlie Jones singing along with this.
RFD. Downtown somewhere. Apparently it has an excellent beer selection. Charlie Jones says beer selection=awesome.
Vote.

Dictatorship Takes Over
Enough of this democracy crap! The Great and Wise Charlie Jones is taking over the Gang Out (I will peacefully transfer powers back to the people next week). This emergency dictatorships is due to unseasonably warm weather on Wednesday. It is imperative that we, the Gang Outers, take advantage of this opportunity to drink outside. Wonderland, with its outdoor seating, is located 5 minutes from the Columbia Heights Metro stop (11th and Kenyon). Be there and be square.

HH Options for 3/11 - Pre St. Paddy's Day!!!
Hey all,
We're going to do a 2-part St. Paddy's Day celebration at Happy Hour! Part 1 is this week, and part 2 will be next week. Here are the options for this week, and all are Metro-accessible. Vote to the right -->
Irish Channel Pub (Gallery Place Metro, 500 H St., NW)
$1 off drafts until 7 pm, $2.75 Coors Light Bottles starting at 7:30, and Shepherd's Pie or Chicken Pot Pie for $8.95...They have live music also. They claim to have "the best Guinness in town" - is it really any different than at other bars???
Kelly's Irish Times (Union Station Metro, at 14 F St., NW)
$1 off mixed drinks and imports until 7 pm
Fun Irish dive bar with cheap drinks. The bar seems out of place in the middle of all the federal office buildings.
Nanny O'Briens (Cleveland Park, at 3319 Connecticut Ave NW)
Always seem to end up without a table at Four Fields when you go out in Cleveland Park??? Nanny O'Briens is another Irish dive bar that's a neighborhood CP spot.
