Thanks to everyone for braving the ice and snow last month, the party was sold out and was a great time yet again!! We are changing it up this month. We will go back to having a guest DJ open the night. DJ Bashee is a new sensation in Arlington, VA spinning some choice dub and dancehall. Come early to check out his set. THANKS!!

Hey Everyone, this is URGENT!!! Before your day of thanks, may we ask you for a favor next Saturday. Amit is a cool guy, he did this cool site photojojo.com. The USDB has been asked to DJ an event to help find a donor for him! Please come out and tell all of your browntown friends to come get checked! Time is precious.… BloomBars is hosting the party. Bhangra Brown Marrow Party and Donor Drive. The purpose of the event is to register people into the National Bone Marrow Registry in hopes of finding a match for Amit Gupta, and an amazing man not yet 30 who is in urgent need of bone marrow transplant. There is a 1 in 20,000 chance of finding a donor match, which would double his chances of survival. South Asians are significantly underrepresented in the… Bone Marrow Registry so there is great potential for this to help others. And of course, all are welcome to attend, register and donate regardless of ancestry. You can learn more about Amit in this interview he did with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta http://www.cnn.com/video/?%2Fvideo%2Fhealth%2F2011%2F11%2F04%2Fgupta-patient-needs-bone-marrow.cnn#/video/health/2011/11/04/gupta-patient-needs-bone-marrow.cnn. Testing is as simple as getting your mouth swabbed, and if your marrow is needed for transplant as simple as donating blood. Visit: http://amitguptaneedsyou.com/ for more information to learn about ways you can help Amit. The evening will feature the U.S. Department of Bhangra with Beta-G “The kind of government expansion we love” - The Washington Post GOG dcbhangra.com rsvp at bloombars invite here too!:http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=182297415194670
