D Ball's Bon Voyage at Zanzibar
Zanzibar on the Waterfront, 700 Water Street SW Washington, DC 20024

Kimberly, Darrell, Darrell F., Tanya, and Trina were there.

When I was circulating before the performance, I went to the right side and ran into a rack of my fellow TMOTTers. The first one I saw was D Ball, whom most of the others were here for since he is moving to Houston next month. Here are all my fellow TMOTTers that I believe were there (other than of course, Nephew, Mike (The AssMan), and Kal El): D Ball (TRUMPETER), Danielle (pinkprincess) and her cousin, lady$tyle$06, sweetangelmd27, Sweet Tyra, Mz.

The dance floor was so packed that I watched this set and the third set from the left side of the stage area. It was written on the TMOTT board that Black Heart sat in on the congas during this performance, but since the congas are on the right side of the stage, I couldn't see them during the second and third sets, so I don't know when he sat in.
