Overhang Presents: Underbelly

Washington
District of Columbia

Because we're greedy, we're putting together another big boy event!

Overhang Presents: Underbelly, a sexy and sleazy happy hour at the District Eagle where big boys and all their admirers can come to let it all hang out! There will be a DJ, drink specials from 6pm to 10pm, along with fries from Lucky Pollo downstairs, brought around by a fry boy. But if fries aren't enough, feel free to also head down to Lucky Pollo to grab a bite!

If you are interested in joining the Discord group to keep up to date on this event and future events, contact FatTrainNerd for an invite. All planning for future DC Grommoffs is done via this group, so it is highly suggested to join to make your voice heard regarding suggestions for events and when they happen! We are currently working to follow a rotating pattern for our events between DC, MD and VA, so we are always looking for suggestions of places to go, plus sharing fun chub/fat positive events like this!

Event Costs:

There is no cost or ticket required, the only limitation will be space at the District Eagle itself. There will be free fries handed out by the fry boys (until we run out), but you can also get food at Lucky Pollo downstairs and there will also be the drink specials.

Directions to the event:

District Eagle address: 1357A U St NW, Washington, DC 20009

If arriving by public transit, take the Green Line to U Street station and from the western exit, you are within a little over a block of the bar. Additionally there are that stop at the intersection of 14th and U St NW that are available and will drop you very close to the bar.

If you are driving, street parking is generally limited in the immediate vicinity of the bar, your best bet is to check the side streets. Pay attention to the signage to make sure it’s safe to park! Folks generally are able to find street parking near Howard University Hospital, but your mileage may vary.

When arriving for the event:

Underbelly will be hosted on the second floor of District Eagle. Doors for the event open at 6PM and the event will run until 10PM, afterwards District Eagle may have other events going on that folks are welcome to stay for. Just a reminder that if you want more than fries, you can head downstairs the Peruvian chicken restaurant, Lucky Pollo. Also, District Eagle does have an elevator available to access the second floor upon request.

*GrommOffs are independently organized by members who've been vetted and approved as organizers, and who abide by a set of GrommOff Ground Rules which can be read in the Support link above. If you believe that these rules were not followed, please contact the GrommOff account here: https://grokio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/topic/3ab9d4b8-c5d9-4822-a936-64a17a41150f/article/181731339 *

Please note well the following rules for Grommoffs:

1. Respect personal space of the group and others.

Always ask before encroaching on other's space, especially with people new to you and the group. If asked to stop or give space, respect this. Failure to do so will result in being asked to leave and potentially being barred from future events.

2. Absolutely no racism, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, transphobia or other bigotry!

This shouldn't have to be said, but bigotry will not be tolerated at any Grokio events.

3. Respect the discretion of the group in public

Oftentimes, gatherings are held in public places (restaurants, parks, beaches, bowling alleys, etc.) and there will be other people nearby. Be aware that loud voices travel—if you’re talking about sensitive or potentially embarrassing topics, use your inside voice. Similarly, a public place is not appropriate for intimacy or sexualized touching. Even if the other person is comfortable with it, respect that you’re with a group in a public place and hold off until you have more privacy. Additionally, be mindful when taking photos/video at the event and allow for members to bow out or turn their heads if they do not wish to be recorded/photographed.

4. Illegal drug/alcohol use is not allowed

The use of drugs that are illegal in the local jurisdiction before or during a Grokio Community Gathering is strictly forbidden, as is the consumption of alcohol by those under the legal age in the local jurisdiction.

5. Guests from outside the community are only allowed with prior approval

We know that attending a GrommOff, Feabie Meet or Ferzu Event for the first time can be scary, but bringing along a friend from outside the community for support can make others feel uncomfortable and force them to edit themselves the way they do in the real world (the goal of our gatherings is to let everyone stop editing!) If you absolutely must bring a friend from outside the community and you are confident they will know how to behave appropriately, you must clear it with the organizer BEFORE the event. Any portion of a gathering occurring in a bar or pub is excepted from this rule.
