Cranberries, 5740 Silver Hill Rd, Suitland, MD 20747

A security guard, Patrick, and Nicole (the cover taker) both from Safari were there, working.

Donnell Jr. (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey), his brother Derek (Redskins fan), Ebony (Redskins fan), Los, Stacey (Redskins fan) and Tiffany, Tim (LJ) (Redskins fan, wearing a throwback Redskins jersey), and Mara (Giants fan - what up with that?), Shadonna (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey) and her husband June, and DJ Skeet (an anti-Redskins fan, wearing a Cincinnati Bengals jersey) were there.

The same two brothers who did set up at Bryne Manor were setting up.

Familiar Faces
First Set (before the Redskins-Cowboys game started)
Line up: Mike Muse (wearing a tan Polo cap, tan plaid sweater, and tan shorts) (Redskins fan), Halima (said "I'll go with the Redskins"), Donnell (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey), DP (Cowboys fan), Doc (Cowboys fan), Dwayne, Godfather, Lorenzo, Stomp, Smoke, and Charlie.
1) Sly & the Family Stone's If You Want Me to Stay - instrumental, sound check

2) Mike-led I Dreamed You
Donnell said, "Welcome to all the people with Redskins jerseys on."
3) Halima-led Erykah Badu's Didn't Cha Know - Halima sang it with a different feel and with echoes, she had a lot of nonverbal arm & hand gestures

Shawn (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey), and Tyrell (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey) were there.

Sitting at my table, on the other side, were Donnell Jr., Derek Floyd, Nephew, Shawn, and in front of me was DJ Skeet. Mike Muse sat at the head of the table. We teased a woman sitting at the far end of our table who was a Cowboys fan. Donnell sat behind me in the aisle.

Mike Muse asked me if our waiter was a Black Jew. I said I thought the same thing. The waiter wore a yamulka (he also had a Redskins pin on his pocket and a Redskins sticker on his check holder). I told Mike about how I saw the Dalai Lama at a synagogue and they passed out yamulkas to everyone - a Catholic priest sat across the aisle from me wearing a yamulka.

DJ Flava (aka GoGo Rudy) played music during the commercials during the game.

Tracy Smoot (Redskins fan) came and Nephew teased her about her shirt. It was pink and had printed EYE with a picture of candies. He asked her if she bought it. She said someone gave it to her, "I'm not vain like you."

DP sat across the aisle from me, he moved up a seat when Tracy arrived and Mara was behind her. Nephew, DJ Skeet, DP, and Donnell exchanged trash talk.

RE Angie (Redskins fan, wearing a Redskins jersey), and Nikki were there.

A strobe light was on the floor to the left of the drum kit

Halima said something I couldn't hear
2) Halima-led Fantasia's Free Yourself - her singing was excellent, Halima moved around and used a lot of nonverbal arm & hand gestures
Halima had a speech about "Not talking to me" and "having to say what you have to say"
A multi-colored (solid color, but what that color was changed) spotlight came on the band.

DJ Flava did commentary and lead cheers of "Red-Skins"

Tracy, DP, and DJ Skeet kept throwing napkins in the air, saying "flag".

The Redskins scored the winning touchdown (14-13). The place erupted in celebration.
Donnell got on the mic and sang "Hail to the Redskins"
Mike said, "Y'all don't know Santana Moss is from Parkland."

DJ Flava lead a cheer of "Ey-ya ey-ya".

DJ Flava told people to get off the furniture.

The place was packed, with many people having to stand.

Third Set (after the game was over)
It was so packed it was difficult to see the frontline during this set.
A guy wearing a Redskins jersey said, "We see one more bottle thrown and the party is over. Dallas lost."
Mike again said, "Y'all don't know Santana Moss is from Parkland."
1) They started performing the music to Faith Evans' Mesmerized - Donnell said, "Help my singer, Halima, get up here. All those punks that owe me money, bring my sh*t, separate yours from mine." / Chant "F*ck the Cowboys" / Faith Evans' Mesmerized - instrumental
2) Donnell-led "Hey ay, Ho oh"
3) Donnell-led "Is the Redskins the real deal, better than the Cowboys?"
4) Halima-led Faith Evans' Mesmerized - it was interrupted by a fight Donnell said, "Take them out."
Mike said, "Black people".
A guy in the crowd said repeatedly that the people who were fighting were Dallas fans.
Mike said, "After what they did to us in New Orleans, you ought to smile whenever you see someone who looks like you".
Halima moved around, used a lot of nonverbal arm & hand gestures and bounced
5) Donnell-led "Da na aah, We got the ___"
6) Alternating Halima-led Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl - the crowd sang along / Donnell-led Rare Essence's Hook Me Upa - Halima and Donnell danced
7) Mike-led Prince's Take Me With You

They took the tables and chairs away throughout the set.

Slim Goodie was there, she briefly danced back to back with me during the set.

Donnell said, "I don't know what happened outside, but we have to stop. We were going to play all night."

I asked Smoke about Mambo Sauce's upcoming show on the 27th, their second show ever. He said he's no longer in the band; he had to make a commitment to Familiar Faces.

A Cowboys fan gave Donnell some money. He laughed that he was being sneaky, trying not to give Donnell the money in way that everyone could see.

I saw Marquis Melvin as I walked out - he again wore a blue KC Royals cap. Derek Floyd said, "You'll be interviewing me soon." I asked where he performs, since I know he's a rapper.
