DC: Subcontinental Drift 2008- January 28

Posted on by

1355204385_205b65bc91.jpg Straight Outta Compton my inbox, an invitation to the first Subcontinental Drift of 2008. This event/collective is one of my favorite things about living in DC. Come find out why for yourself:

2007 sure brought some of the district’s talents out of the basement and into the spotlight. It was nothing less than inspiring to witness the expressive potential of our collective South Asian community.
Subcontinental Drift is excited to be back with the first open mic night of 2008 on Monday, January 28th at 7pm. Come bless us in this new year with your art, your thoughts, your ideas, your presence. The mic will be open from 7-9 pm (to sign up for a spot, shoot an email with your name and performance genre to subdriftdc@gmail.com). And stay for the after party with some chill beats and groovin’.
Where?
Bohemian Caverns, at the corner of 11th and U. We’ll be upstairs. www.bohemiancaverns.com
When?
Doors open at 6:30pm.
More info?

I never go out on Mondays or Tuesdays because those are my most challenging (read: no lunch) days at work, but I’m about to do some serious juggling in order to attend this– THAT’S how amazing Subcontinental Drift is. It is worth the stress and exhaustion. 😉 If you are in DC, please come out so that you, too, can babble beatifically about all the awesomeness. And if you are not in DC, remember that it is a new year; resolve to start something similar where you are. Abhi did it fabulously in Houston, so can you. Everyone deserves to drift.

  1. Why do I have a feeling this event is going to end in a LSD induced orgy? DAMN hippies!!

    Am I the only that pictures Bin Laden hiding in a cave just like the one in the picture above with a couch that turns into a bed and recessed lighting?

  3. Just when I really want to go..something work related (un-juggle-able) comes up! El Capitan might make it..

    ANNA, we met some people on saturday who have been frequenting the drifts and they couldn’t stop raving about it. To return the favor, we told them about SM. It’s all about spreading the lurve..

    That being said…we need a DC meetup. If we do a potluck thing…I can host!

  5. One of my favorite regular events in D.C. So here’s my question to ladies Msichana and A N N A, how come y’all go out of your way to miss the Sub Drifts where I make a fool out of myself perform? I don’t have any embarrassments talents left!

  6. HEY. ALL of you missed my spoken-word debut at the Subcontinental Drift that the picture in this post is from, so hush that fuss, aight? 😉

  7. Heh-hem. I absolutely was there for your spoken-word debut in the bowels of Bohemian Caverns. Not my fault I’m like a ninja — I blend into the walls.

    🙂

  8. I might show up, too, ANNA. 🙂

    And yes, we do need another SM meetup in DC. I enjoyed the last one.

  9. Thanks for the heads-up Anna. And I add my vote for a meetup.
