A Friday night "lime" in DC... Trini Jungle Juice in dat! Tabaq Bistro, a relatively new spot with a chic contemporary design located on the U street corridor just opposite Republic Gardens, was were it all went down. Now this spot was certainly not able to accommodate the positive turnout that came to bid Kofi Boxill of Gresham Entertainment farewell.

The admission was free and the vibe at first was relaxed and enjoyable, with quite a bit of mingling and greetings as it was intended. You had Sprang Intl. holding down the music and of course he didn't disappoint. For the last hour or so the music intensified and the crowd all headed to the fire hazard rooftop where their true Caribbean spirit came out. We tell ya, at the end of the night when the patrons were leaving, quite a few were seen with their shirts wet! An entirely different scenario from the one at the beginning of the night.

When the party was over, the crowd remained outside (customary Caribbean behavior for your money) for about half an hour before a few left for a house party. Real haunted vibes!!! ;-)

All in all, this "lime" was a good one. Nuff respect to the gracious hosts. We looking forward to continuing the weekend feteing at Rumors tomorrow night. Washington DC... keep on representin'. TJJ signing out for de night.
