~ The Metro Presents ~

The Metro hosts a variety of functions throughout the year. Some are gala events in the most beautiful clubs DC has to offer while others are private parties at some of the best spots available. All are lavish affairs offering top DJ’s, great entertainment, good food, & a premium bar with the best bartenders anywhere. We always draw a high energy crowd that rolls well into the morning hours, & our signature body shots are definitely a crowd favorite.

Note that all our gatherings bring together various cultures of the overall scene. So please come with an open mind, a desire for fun, & conduct yourself in a respectful manner to all who are present.

Anything planned will be posted here as well as on Facebook & Fetlife - Twitter also updates from Facebook. Closed-list parties are by invitation only, so you must be on our mailing list & be known to Richard A.D (or have an affiliate vouch for you). Public full-scale events are obviously open to all. We love bringing people together to create a bit of magic, so we hope you join us for our next event!

Presented by Richard A.D. & The Metro Underground: Coming in 2012...

Sat Mar 17th - St. Patrick's Night of Mayhem: The Return of the Snakes!

Somewhere around the fifth century St. Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland...
Well we're bringin' 'em back!!!

When we launched efforts for The Metro Underground, this was the party that started it all. Now celebrating our third year in the scene, we've put together a Celtic Revival like none other! So please join us Saturday, March 17th (St. Patrick's Day) for a night of absolute mayhem & unbridled possibility. In true Irish tradition, drinks will be freely flowing & anything goes.

Also celebrating the birthday of DJ Johnny Panic (resident of Bound), we'll hoist pints to good friends old & new. And in true Metro tradition, expect a special presentation of the Lucky Lasse Shooter, along w/ top DJ's, a full night of dancing, functional play space w/ adult themes, & a high energy crowd to carry us well into the night.

Details coming soon. We'll hope to see you out!

Please join us for an evening of opulence, elegance, & exotic intrigue.

The DC Fetish Ball brings together some of the scene's very best DJ's, Models, Fashion, & Nationally Recognized Talent - all accented w/ an incredible play space in one of the city's most lavish venues. Promising to bring a level of twisted delight worthy of the Nation’s Capitol, THIS is a night you won’t want to miss!

Hosted at Ultra Bar (911 F St. NW DC): Offering 3 Floors of Exotic Possibility…
Tickets are $20 Presale ($25 on site). Doors open at 9pm - must be 18+ (21+ to drink).

Fri Nov 23rd - Black Friday: A Gothic Revival - In true fashion for The Metro, we can assure you there will be nothing "pure" about it!

Offering a sense of Gothic Fusion to the full spectrum of the overall scene, we've created a theme night that offers a little bit of everything for everyone. So as Thanksgiving moves into the December Season, this will be your last chance to get your dance on before holiday madness takes hold. And while crazy people trample each other at the big box stores, our version of Black Friday is more attune to a Gothic Revival fused w/ modern tones to let the scene take hold of you. So feed your mind, move your body, & fill your spirit as we celebrate, dance, & revive the golden age of Tracks, Nation, & a host of memories brought forth to a new era.

In Celebration of Rudari's Birthday, We'll Toast Good Times & Good Friends, Old & New.

We hope you make it out!

Depending on our ability to secure a proper venue, our intentions for New Year’s Eve are to create a formal affair
of grand delight (think DC Fetish Ball lite). Top DJ’s, Burlesque, adult entertainment, & a lavish venue will combine to create an evening of decadence & desire. A premium bar, full buffet, & champagne toast w/ good friends old & new will set the tone for the come.

Expect elegance & a formal affair. But plan on mayhem as the night gives way to the new year.

Making contacts & friends all in one night.

In coordination w/ my mainstream business, I've decided to move forward w/ plans for a quarterly happy hour designed as a professional opportunity for effective networking, but to then let the night evolve into a social mixer as things progress forward. Network Mixers will take place at proper venues throughout the city & be paced w/ a seasonal rhythm.

Please contact Rick@TheMetroUnderground.com for more information.

Please note that these specific functions will be of a professional & mainstream nature with no affiliation to the scene.

Past Events from 2011:

CIRQUE - The 2011 Edition of the DC Fetish Ball (DCFethishBall.com): An Enticement of Mind, Body, & Spirit ...

Hosted at the opulent & spacious Ultra Bar (well recognized as one of the area's very best venues), we offered 3 full levels of absolute possibility. The main ball room hosted dancing, DJ's, GoGo, our fetish fashion show, & incredible performances by the versatile & talented Electrocute. Upstairs our well equipped play-space brought a sense of erotic enticement & pure desire. Indeed, bringing together some of the area's very best models, fashion, DJ's, & nationally recognized talent in one of the city's very best venues, the night was nothing short of pure magic. If you missed it then you may have missed "The Greatest Show on Earth!"

We'd like thank all the talented photographers who covered our event!

Most of all, we'd like to thank EVERYONE who helped make The DC Fetish Ball an absolute success. The evening was epic & the feedback has been incredible. Special thanks to all those who came out to offer their support as well as the amazing team who made it happen. Indeed, DCFB represents some of the very best talent our scene has to offer & it's an absolute pleasure working with each of those involved.

FetFest Sunday - "Dusk 'Til Dawn" Poolside (FetFest.com): The inaugural flight of FetFest was without question a true success. Offering a 3-day festival for the adult communities, it was a lavish retreat of incredible expanse. We'd like to thank the organizers for such a fantastic job & are honored to have been a participant in such an affair. We also thank 'Just Matt' for his donation to the party.

Hosting one of Sunday's main parties, The Metro Underground presented a pool-side extravaganza that offered a great element to the overall mix. Welcome to the Titty Twister, a Fetfest favorite from which no one returns! A premium open bar w/ lite 'bite' buffet served as a backdrop as we transformed the pool into an atmosphere of elegance & decadent possibility. The incredible talent of our amazing performers then carried the night. From all corners of the scene, we offered everything from snake dancers to burlesque, to an amazing fire show by 'Artists w/ Pride.'

Behind the decks, DJ's Cosmo & Adam offered true talent keeping the energy high & the crowd engaged as the dance floor rocked throughout the night. Perhaps most of all, I can not offer enough thanks to my brother in arms, Kaelynn. Without his support & assistance such an event would be an impossibility.

As things progressed we had planned to carry an entire second phase of the evening with more intimate aspects in store (kicking it off w/ an erotic show of adult content). Unfortunately, such plans were squashed by rain but the party was still marked as a resounding success. We're just pleased to have offered a great element to an already incredible event.

Due to the nature of Fetfest there are no pics for this party.

MIB 4 SMB: The Men in Black Social (Pre-Party Happy Hour & After-Party) - Bound recently hosted their 15th Annual Summer Masquerade Ball - SMB XV: “Cosmos” (a sci-fi theme & definitely a Top Ten for the annual calendar). With an affair of such galactic proportion we expected a huge presence of alien activity. Of course, the Men in Black were needed to monitor this situation...

To honor such a benchmark, & as an official co-sponsor to this year’s ball, Richard A.D. & The Metro Underground put together a Special VIP Social for our dearest friends, supporters, & brothers in arms. Planned as a much smaller affair than our usual blow-out, this was actually 2 separate parties based around the main event of SMB. We basically gathered our forces, powered up with a bite, primed the pump with a few drinks, & had some pre-party fun until we hit a full assault on SMB for some universal mayhem!

Hosted just minutes from the venue for BOUND, the main event later gave way to the after party & we rolled ‘till dawn. It was an incredible night & we thank all those who made it out!

Pennsic 40 with Die Fledermaus (PennsicWar.org/Penn40): Once again, the annual tradition of Mardi Gras carried its reputation forward as one of the largest & most progressive parties during all of Pennsic. Indeed, it was a night of epic proportion. With numbers in excess of 800, dancers & fire performers carried the night as drummers filled the air w/ a tribal beat that moved us all. Great drinks, awesome food, & a flair of style fed travelers hungry for adventure. Hosted by Camp Die Fledermaus (Pennsic Home for Richard A.D, The Metro, & the gang) the party lasted on well into the night to the delight of all who attended.

Mid-Winter's Night - a 'Raving' Success: In honor of our fallen friend Dirk Smiler, we reignited the sacred fires to gather good friends old & new for an event that lasted well past dawn. Held at Sanguine Fields under a Rave-style format, the drinks flowed, the music rocked, the fire raged all night long. Everyone was there & it was a fantastic affair not to be forgotten. We thank all those who made it out, all those who made it happen, & above all DJ Cosmo for hosting such a fantastic event. We're proud to have played such an important part in what turned out to be an incredible evening. Pics by Joseph M...

But unfortunately...

Our St. Pat's Party (2011) was Canceled - I had been getting my ass kicked by the respiratory infection from hell, & since time was already tight we had no choice but to cancel. I also realized that we would have had a conflict with the last Crucible LF&P on Half Street. I saw it as hypocritical to move on a night of such nostalgia when our mission is to try & bring the scene together. Of course, on any given weekend you'll bump up against someone (that's just the nature of things), but this was s a pretty huge event as the Crucible turns a new page (see News & Notes). In the meantime, here are a few pics from our 2010 affair...
