They were at a couple of venues before Capital Ballroom (Nation) Sorry for the confusion by using the present name. From the Buzz site. During that summer, Buzz got word of a new venue opening up in DC – a mid-sized venue that would be used primarily for concerts and shows, but that could double as a dance venue. It was called the Capitol Ballroom (now known as Nation). The cavernous space gave off that warehouse vibe, but with permanent sound and lighting systems, the reliability factor was very high. Buzz reopened at the Capitol Ballroom in October of 1995....... Masoud was also throwing events there funny thing is that DD weren't headliners when he put then in there. But it was also a long time ago.
