My inbox is overflowing from emails from almost every promoter in town! It's crazy how busy things get around the District when the most prominent HBCU has its homecoming. Here's your Thursday night:
Get here: At The Park at Fourteenth (920 14th Street NW) not only will Biz Markie be on the tables but (sexy fine) Lance Gross better known to me as ANTM's Eva's boyfriend.
