What in the hell is The Spot?

[crownroyal]

Event Concepts and Panorama Productions would like to thank you for over 2 ½ years of loyal support. The SPOT has been DC's favorite Friday night party
for 136 weeks, has welcomed over 280,000 attendees and continues to draw thousands of partygoers each week.

However, as the saying goes, "All Good Things Must Come to an End". It is with regret that we announce the closing of The Spot.

who knows? maybe people werent going there anymore, or panaroma wants to focus more on Glow.
i went there acouple of times, but it was to packed...way to packed each time and it got hotter than a jungle in there..i'd rather spend my friday's at Buzz, Red or The Sanctuary

OK Vixen's gonna jump in here with the clues

The Spot is a multilevel, multigenre club that has been run for years now (obviously) and caters to the mainstream "going dancing" crowd. CP'ers would likely not find themselves there. However, I am the kind of person who will indulge herself in cheese now and then, and if you can get yourself whacked and be cheesy for a night, this place is just great. Personally I might be doing just that for the big finale with the exbfs LoLz. The party itself is being renamed, moved and modified and will resume as Zoo@ Insomnia Fridays. And yes, I have reduced 'cause I'm sure you're all gonna go lolz, for real though I am kinda sad no more Spot, but what can ya do? hehehhe
So Crown, if you and Jimi aren't off to Buzz, let's go get wasted and go to the Spot

[vixenfoxxy]

Addendum: This move is done because 1) DC Live, the venue where the party is held, is closing for renovations and 2) we need something a little newer

i knew vixen would know the nitty-gritty behind the scenes stuff going's on's here

I'd totally be down (especially if it's free) except I'm coughing up yellow play dough and my asthma will probably quite literally kill me this weekend.

Umm the Spot or Buzz, lets think rationally here crown.
For me it will be 1223 to see TyT spin then off to buzz for DD. Never been to the spot and from the looks of it never will be
