Just in time for spring, the annual build-out for The Metro Underground is now complete
(actually we've been done since the end of February but we're late on the
newsletter).
Offering full calendars for the local & national scene, regional
clubs, groups, mainstream listings, resources, plus news & notes - The Metro Underground offers a primary
gateway to the full spectrum of the underground, alternative, & adult scene
(for DC, Baltimore, & the Mid-Atlantic from Philly to Richmond). See links
below.
~ A Few Notes for the Spring Season ~
First things first…
Please Note: The Metro Underground & Metro Events are
actively searching for a new venue to host our annual events.
Our flagship affair, the DC Fetish Ball will always be held
at Ultra Bar but we're currently seeking new locations for our Spring Formal,
Black & White Ball, Friday's Meet & Greet for DC Fetish Weekend, plus
other potential parties/events.
We also offer networks for various groups & events
associated with The Metro Underground. Many are constantly seeking new venues
to hold their own events.
Potential locations must be able to host numbers of 400 (+),
be amiable to events that carry adult themes, have availability on the weekend
(Saturday), access to a good sound system & proper lighting/ambiance, &
be financially viable. Metro access & available parking are a definite plus.
Allowing ages 18 & over is preferable but not a deal breaker. Central to DC
is also preferred (but there has been discussion about moving our spring formal
to Baltimore). Most important is a good working relationship w/ the owners to
build an ongoing relationship that will carry forward.
Please contact Richard A.D. for details: Rick@TheMetroUnderground.com
-------------------------------------------------------------
Metro Events: over the past few years we've generally held 3
events/year plus at least 1 annual private affair. For 2014 we plan to turn this upside down
& hold our main event (The DC Fetish Ball) & 2-3 semi-private
affairs. You'll receive word as to what
is currently in the works, so please keep an eye out!
In line with this, I know we've been talking up The Metro Spring Formal. In fact, it was
our intention to take our spring event to an entirely new level - something on
par with DC Fetish Ball minus the Fashion Show. Unfortunately, efforts for the
spring formal have been indefinitely suspended & probably cancelled.
In the meantime, we've had a LOT of people asking about pics
for 2013. We'll have them posted soon. A lot has been going on so certain
priorities have been pushed off as a result. We're sorry for the delay.
