Spike Lee’s “School Daze” Party in DC

The Washington Post

Spike Lee’s “School Daze” is an iconic film, not just for the manner in which it explores race in the late-’80s, but for its sense of style, soundtrack and classic scenes. From the big Jiggaboos vs. Wannabees dance number to the step-show showdown, School Daze is full of quotables that anyone of the old-schol hip-hop generation knows by heart. More importantly, as anyone from D.C. knows, this is the movie that gave us “Da Butt.” This Sunday, join the Good Life Collective with 2-Tone Jones on the turntables at the 14th Street NW Piola for a day party celebrating School Daze from 4 to 8 p.m. Dress in your best throwback Afrocentric HBCU gear or Greek letter paraphernalia to really set it off and be prepared to sing along to all the best scenes. read more…
