Trouble at The Republic

Thanks to Jana B. I ran across this -- how did I miss this?!:

For immediate release: December 17, 2008

Metro Transit Police have arrested a Southwest Washington, D.C., woman for allegedly stabbing a man during a large fight at the U Street Metrorail station in Northwest Washington.

Police arrested Dekeria Green, 18, yesterday evening and charged her with one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

Investigators say a fight started between two groups the night of Saturday, Dec. 13 inside the Republic Gardens night club at 13th and U streets. The groups left the club but the fight started again outside the Metrorail station and continued inside the station. Police say Green was involved in the fight and allegedly stabbed a 19-year-old Northwest, Washington man inside the station. The victim fled on a train to the Columbia Heights Metrorail station. He was treated and released from a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Security cameras at the station are aiding police in their investigation, and detectives say more arrests are possible. The Metropolitan Police Department also assisted in the investigation.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 202-962-1792.

Weekend Wrap Up: Tuscana West

2008-12-15T23:29:00.004-05:00

The Good: The bartenders had heavy hands so most people were really enjoying themselves. Also, the ambiance at Tuscana has only been more enhanced by their recent renovations. With drapes, dramatic lighting, a warm and cozy fireplace in one nook of the lounge and an ultra cool room in the other corner of the lounge, away from the dance floor, all make for a diverse lounge and a diverse party experience. I have too many friends born in December and everyone seemed to be celebrating here. Happy birthday to Adriene, Keara and Fisayo! :)

The Bad: The door was totally disorganized, not to mention getting a table was not only confusing but time consuming (and who wants to waste time getting it together, especially when you're celebrating a birthday?!). My suggestion is to have reserve signs so the people actually spending money don't have to boot people out of their own table.

The Ugly: See 'The Good" then add about a few hours for the alcohol to kick in and you got some people getting.it.in. on the dance floor. Think T.I's "Porn Star" song...

And that's your Weekend Wrap Up!

Weekend Wrap Up: Indeblue

2008-12-15T23:22:00.003-05:00

The Good: The location; it's right across from the Verizon Center...the crowd is different from the typical urban socialite scene, which is a nice change of pace especially if you go out often; if you don't feel like getting too jazzy you can still party here comfortably.

The Bad: If you intend to celebrate a birthday here, don't! Buying a table here is ridiculously overpriced (you'll be paying upwards $500 without tax and tip), especially for the size of the table you get (think of a table people used to eat their TV dinners on...that's how big they are!).

The Ugly: See "The Bad"

Weekend Wrap Up: Layla Lounge

2008-12-15T21:26:00.007-05:00

The Good: The small but beautiful venue has remained the same and the music was bumping!

The Bad: The once classy crowd has certainly changed...and it all happened so quickly. Let's not mention the dudes spotted in fake furs (kind of like the dudes from the movie Brown Sugar...remember that?) and ladies donned some hideous dresses.

The Ugly: Worst of all, the smell of weed in the air was undeniable; it was the first thing you smelled when you approached the second floor. Broken glass was everywhere, you couldn't turn left or right without running into someone, and the wait staff looked worn out and irritated by everyone. Although it was a hot inside, people still partied with their coats on (to cheap for coat check....) which made it even more hot and uncomfortable. Talk about a downgrade...
