Just Around the Corner 2/25

Hey Folks. It’s time for me to get back to blogging. The best way to get back in the flow is a fresh events list. Some of you may also be wondering who is Cool “Disco” Dan. He is a legend in DC Hip Hop history. But he is not a rapper nor a DJ. He is a graffiti artist. Graffiti is one of the forgotten elements in the origins of Hip Hop. But there is a documentary and art exhibit dedicated to him and other DC graffiti artist of that time. So treat yourself and check them out.

Quick FYI: There will be a few tweaks to the blog of the next couple weeks. So if you see anything funky on the site please bare with me. Thanks.

New events are in red (this week they are all new), free events are in blue, and recommended events are green. Feel free to subscribe to the blog and get this listing directly in your email every week.

Thanks for your support.
