Mambo Sauce Superlatives
So, you may have heard that our Best of D.C. issue is out. If you haven't heard: Are you living out of a box in Rock Creek Park or something? Go get one! Even though the issue is the largest in memory for the City Paper, there were some items that just wouldn't fit. To wit: the classic D.C. Go-Go Band, Mambo Sauce. All of Mambo Sauce (of "Welcome to D.C." fame and the stars of local label Red C Records) were included in our Classic D.C. Archetypes feature, but didn't make it to the print issue. For this, we are sorry, because these people are pretty, they're talented, and they love them some D.C., so here they are, along with their answers to the burning question: What is the Best of D.C.?
Andy White: Ben's Chili Bowl
Black Boo: We've got our own swagger. We march to the beat of our own drum.
Keyboard Chris: We have our own form of music native to our area (until Mambo Sauce spreads it to the rest of the world)!
Pep: Go-Go!!!
Twink: My family
Yendy: The city's rich African-American history.

How on earth could Washington's (so called) City Paper forget to include representative's of the city's only local music? This is pure BS and I for one will play the race card with no problem. What? Did you think the people interested in G0-Go don't read. I mean, come on!! This lame ass apology is just as insulting as not including them in the first place. Maybe if they were pierced and tatted up and played at the Black Cat they would be worthy of your print edition. Calling them "pretty" and trying to sound all down "they love them some DC" won't wipe away this ugly faux pas. Y'all got some nerve. Y'all are so busy trying to find fault with the Washington Post that you neglect your own backyard. Trust that I will let as many people as possible know about this. BOYCOTT CITY PAPER!!

FYI,while this is old,the person you have listed as Keyboard Chris is actually Kari Pratt the Bass guitarist and should you bother to print a correction, please note that Yendy is no longer with the band. Thnk you.
