Our second annual DC Super Sampler was a success. Jamel was the perfect comic to open the show. DDm stole the show. Loud Boyz stayed true to their name and mission. Sheila D. Yeah was able to get everyone to dance. Jamel was the perfect comic to close the show.

Since it was a BYT event, there are enough quality photographs to reconstruct the entire evening. We’ve been watching a lot of True Detective (stay tuned for our recap!).
