Bud's 501 Club, 501 Morse St NE, Washington, DC 20002
It was raining. I got the white man treatment, even though I've talked with a few of the ERT Security people working the door many times before, including Tamika, in charge at Stomp's Birthday Party. They said, "This is a GoGo." I said, "I know."
Xclusive Thoughts was warming up. I was one of the first fans there. Bud came up and said, "Why haven't you started yet?" They said, "We're trying to find the beat!" They started shortly afterwards. The sound was so rough that it was almost noise: it really makes me appreciate the really good soundmen like Googie. The songs I made out in their set: Busta Rhyme's I Love My Chick featuring Kelis, "Grey Goose" chant, Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight, "Hip Hop hooray" chant, and "You got to bang that p*ssy". Bobbie Doll, Nena, and Angel were the bartenders. I talked with Angel, I told her I read her post mentioning me on the thread, "who is the hottest white guy on the planet?." TCB_M greeted me when he came in. I talked briefly with Nena then left.
