I love to party on a rooftop!

Local Wednesdays is for anyone who needs that mid-week break from the job, school or anything else that tends to stress. Chill out, get back to those carefree days for the evening and still partake in all the social freedoms of adulthood. Were switching up the line-up just a little this week and featuring DJ Steve Starks (Nouveau Riche/KIDS parties) who's spinning happy hour from 6PM-9PM and DJ Stereofaith (Feedback/Sorted parties) closing out the show from 9PM-1AM. These are two of DC's best DJs and they're gonna kill it on the decks as usual. If you missed the last one, don't make the same mistake twice.
