OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE - CUT&PASTE
Beyond is a happy hour event held every Wednesday night from 6PM to 11PM in the Upstairs lounge above Skewers and Café Luna restaurants at 1633 P St NW (at the corner of 17th St and P St). The event features local and national DJs from all over the east coast playing a wide variety of music as well as drink specials and Moroccan tapas.

Music is the key to the event’s existence and DJs spin everything from dubstep to downtempo, underground hip-hop, indie rock, and reggae. The event serves as an outlet for DJs to play music seldom heard in DC, and thus fosters a spirit of creativity and inclusiveness. Since its start in May 2007, a number of nationally recognized DJs have played at Beyond, coming from as far away as New York City. The weekly guest DJs are joined by residents Dan Amitai, Ivan Khilko and Adrian Parsons.

The event is held in a beautifully decorated lounge reminiscent of North Africa, a short walk away from both the U St-Cardozo and the Dupont Circle Metro stations. Beyond features $2 beers, $3 Pomegranate Martinis and $4 Ketel One martinis until 8PM, with drink prices going up by just a dollar after that. There is also a special $2 tapas menu from Skewers all night long, as well as that restaurant’s full menu; extensive vegetarian options are available.

[jukata]

[sstarch1]

I shoudl be showing up with some friends aswell, hopefully.

[Broken Home]

Randy Proxxy stopped by a couple of weeks ago. He told me: "if I knew you had this-and-this on the menu I would have come out sooner!" so here is the food menu...

BEYOND happy hour (small orders -- tapas)

Blackened chicken skewer served over mango salsa
Mini lamb skewer served over eggplant salad
Mini filet mignon skewer served over sauteed mushrooms
blackened shrimp with fresh gazpacho and cilantro
hummus, baba gannouj, or black bean salsa with zataar pita chips

Any of the above is $2 -- all night

Keep in mind the full Skewers menu is also available. The above is strictly the happy hour specials for BEYOND.


I'm on site right now trying to figure out how I can get these fucking palm trees out of the way... they're taking up valuable real estate. (yes we have palm trees)

[Broken Home]

unfortunately my personal favorite (the hummus with lamb) is not on special. :( but it's still delicious and is what I eat for dinner every week.

[jukata]

It's still really warm out. I took a walk at lunch with no jacket today.

[IonaGlasscock, whatevs]

Sigh. I'm not going to be making it out tonight after all. I have my reasons and they're good ones.

Sorry guys...

[robhyx]

Damn, I'd totally come out if I still worked in D.C. sigh.

[shade]

duuuuuude come out anyway. damn.

i don't work in DC and i'm still going.

[jukata]

ya sorry guys, but I guess I'm not gonna make it out for this awesome show.

This looks like a really awesome way to spend a Wednesday evening. Really great. Too bad I got some friends coming over and stuff already. Have fun.

[Broken Home]

[Broken Home]

trying to swing through now!

Nice try, Alec! :D

thanks to everyone that came out last night. Always a blast!

[sstarch1]

Good times fo sho..

I suggest this event is NOT spread to everysingle person you know because it will get over run. I gurantee, $2 Flying Dogs? DJs? Cool vibe and cheap food?

There's going to be a waiting list soon.

Amitai, thanks for the heads up about a slot in April, ill hit you up when the time is closer.

BOH!

[imabagel]

how was it last night?

did anyone record?

dan, tell me u recorded...

[Broken Home]

it was fun last night. did anyone record? NO.

[shade]

good times last night... thanks for having me through, dan.

[imabagel]

it was fun last night. did anyone record? NO.

u should be shot in the back of the head.


like a terrorist.






with bad breath.

[Jungle Jessi]

thanks again for havingme out dan.

i had a wicked good time......$2 flying dog ftw!!!!!

[Quannum Logic]

pissed...I was at work till 9:30 and was too tired to come through....if I had a car or ride, different story, but to figure out the bus at 10pm just wasn't worth it

[jukata]

well the gig that defies all laws of physics and economics was a great success.

I'm still not sure how we managed to fit everything/everyone in there.

...and I definitely have no idea how that place stays in business selling food and beer at a loss. It's an enigma. A godamn tasty enigma.

when people come down from Baltimore for this, you know it's solid!


Big thanks to Dan and the lounge for having us through!!!

[dj cam_one]

To Dan and everyone who came out. I apologies for not showing up to the show...I had to work extra hours at my dirt bag job...I should have got off at 4:30 and didn't get out until 9:00. If there is a next time at this venue. I will terrorize the decks.
