Cedric Gervais Music Video “Molly” Filmed in DC
Are You Looking for Molly?
Three casting calls later, eager participants from the DC Metropolitan Area flocked to District Nightclub in Adams Morgan on Sunday, February 12, to fill roles in Cedric Gervais’s newest music video, “Molly.”
Upon the cast’s arrival at 3 pm, District was already buzzing with activity: make-up artists and hairstylists whipped up new looks as costume directors made sure everyone was vibrantly dressed. Under the direction/production of Nicholas Cambata and Douglas Sonders from 8112 Studios, filming began shortly after sundown at 6 pm.
Featuring a sweaty mix of hipsters, ravers, club kids, b-boys, go-go dancers and party animals, the set oozed with sex appeal and controlled chaos!
Complete strangers made out with one another and girls gulped body shots of each other’s bellies; K-Y Jelly was liberally spread on nearly anyone with exposed flesh to produce a “wet” look and a fire breather spit hot flames to heat up the mood. This video was simply out of control!
Participants were enjoying their 15 minutes of fame, however the filming was truly hard work. While a handful of people fizzled out by midnight, DC’s local stars proved their worth and many stayed until the video shoot wrapped up… at sunrise the next morning!
Cedric Gervais in Washington, DC
Playing alongside Tiesto at the DC Armory and Glow shows at Josephine, Lima Lounge, and Fur Nightclub, Cedric Gervais has been a staple of DC nightlife. In spring 2011, he appeared in his first DC-based music video, “Love is the Answer,” at Lima Lounge with singer Mya.
Don’t miss Cedric’s next performance in DC on Thursday, March 15 at Lima Lounge!
Who is Molly?
The centerpiece of the video was the dazzling “Molly,” portrayed by 22 year old actress/model Jenna Dalton.
Be sure to catch Jenna as she seduces the camera and dances through a series of steamy scenes in Cedric Gervais and 8112 Studio’s newest version of Where’s Waldo when the video premiers later this year!

About Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center
Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center was founded in 1960 by Chuck and Marge Levin. The store was originally located at 12th and H Streets in downtown Washington, D.C. In April of 1968, that location destroyed due to fire in the riots of that same year, following the assassination of Martin Luther King. Two months later, operations resumed at the current location on Veirs Mill Road in Wheaton, Maryland.
Washington Music Center (popularly known as “Chuck’s”) occupies four warehouses and separate repair facilities in close proximity to the main store, as well as state of the art Pro Sound and Home Keyboard showrooms in a building adjacent to the main store. Chuck’s is truly a family operation, and a great deal of our success is directly attributed to the close working relationship of this family. In recent years, the original founders’ two sons, Alan and Robert, have taken over stewardship of the company.
Washington Music Center’s reputation for customer service, competitive pricing, large inventory, reliability, integrity, honesty, dependability, personal attention to details, good will, quality, and customer satisfaction remains unsurpassed by anyone in the retail music industry. For these reasons, Chuck’s has continued to grow and prosper continuously each and every year since it’s inception, winning top sales awards from several of the biggest manufacturers in the music industry. We couldn’t do it without a loyal customer base, and for this you have our utmost gratitude. Thanks everybody!

Hangover Helpers – the Best and Worst
Hangover Helpers
The Guide to What Works and What is a Myth
They say “death” and “taxes” are the only things that nobody escapes. But since you are reading our Guide to DC Nightlife, the odds are you’ve dealt with a throbbing hangover at least once in your life.
Here are a few “morning after” aids that may provide some relief and keep you coming back those darned DC Clubs after all.
THE GOOD
Hydrate
Basically, a hangover is a side effect of being dehydrated.
Wish you didn’t drink so many Long Islands last night?
To help clear out the toxins, it’s always a good idea to drink plenty of water before, during and after imbibing of your favorite spirit.
Late Night Eats
A good meal can do wonders, particularly if you have it while drinking. But there’s still hope the next morning.
Eggs contain amino acids, which in theory could help the liver breakdown the toxins from the previous night’s abuse.
Check out our Guide to The Best Late Night Food in DC.
Coconut Water and/or Bananas
When you get dehydrated, you lose not only water but also electrolytes, including potassium. Too little potassium can lead to cramps, fatigue, nausea, dizziness and heart palpitations.
Both of these foods are loaded with potassium and putting nutrients back into your system can provide quick relief.
Tea with Honey and Ginger
Ginger is a natural nausea fighter and honey contains fructose, which helps alcohol get broken down faster.
The trio is also overflowing with antioxidants, which can guard against some of the inflammation and damage, especially to your brain or what little of it you have left after partying hard!
Sex
Nobody will fight about this one.
“There is no research that shows that sex will make a hangover go away, but maybe it will make the time go faster,” says Joris C. Verster, Ph.D., assistant professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
But if it makes you happy, go for it.
Sleep
Sleep is the best cure, but unless it’s Sunday or your unemployed, this could be a luxury.
No matter what you try, hangovers can only be avoided by not drinking a lot — well, at least until scientists get their act together and create a hangover pill.
Exercise
Who wants to get off the couch and exercise while you feel like you are on your deathbed?
Regardless, exercise can release endorphins. Just make sure to stay hydrated before getting on that stairmaster or you may be near your real deathbed in the blink of an eye.
THE BAD
Hair of the Dog
This one is pretty much bullsh*t, but it does help.
Drinking a little more alcohol in the morning — be it a bloody Mary or otherwise — might provide the mild numbing effect to ease you back.
Ultimately you’re just prolonging your misery.
Anything with “Hangover” in the Name
If it says it cures hangovers, it doesn’t cure hangovers.
The best part of these pills and powders is the water you’re drinking to chase them down. Some products recommend a full glass with each dose.
The more water the better. Yet none of these potions are more effective than a multivitamin, which itself is only marginally useful.
Headache Pills
Since your liver just took a beating like Rodney King, adding acetaminophen to the mix is like kicking someone when they are down. Acetaminophen is by far the most common cause of liver failure in the United States. When combined with alcohol, it can be deadly.
Instead, try Tiger Balm — a popular topical blended from camphor, menthol, cajuput oil and clove oil that’s known for its analgesic and blood flow promoting properties.
Aspirin can be helpful before sleep and upon rising with plenty of water, but only in moderation.
Coffee
Congratulations!
You’re now awake and more intensely aware of your hangover symptoms and that’s about all.
Coffee is a diuretic, making you even more dehydrated and increasing the severity of the hangover. When the caffeine wears off, you will be even more tired.
Propranolol
Propranolol is beta-blocker drug for hypertension that also is commonly used to relieve hangover pain.
The bad news is that it doesn’t work, according to numerous studies. The good news is that you wasted your money on Propranolol instead of more booze.
THE UGLY
Haejangguk
In English, this Korean dish literally means “soup for the stomach.” Street vendors in Korea sell it out of carts, usually on weekend mornings.
The ingredients are enough to make weak stomachs vomit and include cow bones and cow’s blood, along with a collection of spices that would make most Westerners cringe.
Mustard Bath
They say soaking in mustard can cure a hangover, but we’re not advising you should spread it all over your body like a hot dog.
Health food stores sell a powder form or bath salts infused with the powder which can help suck the toxins out of your bloated body like a vacuum.
Soak in Wasabi
Treat your body like your favorite sushi!
As much as a third of toxic body waste is cleared through the skin. When infused into the bath, wasabi’s stimulating nature has been known to help ease a hangover.
Just make sure to wash off well after before trying the sex cure.
Yoga
Think of it like wringing your body out like a wet towel.
Perfect as a post-party liver purge, twisting yoga poses help to squeeze the alcohol out of the organs.
Pickle Juice
We are not suggesting you take a cue from Snooki, but the salt in the water helps you retain water.
For the severely dehydrated every little bit helps!
Hopefully you won’t turn into an oompa loompa.
Nightlife Slang
Nightclub Vocabulary
Much like another country with a foreign language, the nightlife scene has it’s own terminology. There is no Altavista or Webster’s Dictionary for this one, so you better brush up on your nightlife slang before heading out to the DC Clubs. Otherwise, you’ll be left in the cold like an redneck in Paris who just downed some rotten snails and has to use “la toilette!”
Beer Goggles
If ya go home with Brad Pitt and wake up with Chris Farley, ya probably had beer goggles on last night.
Uhh… that’s not a bathrobe you’re wearing brah… it’s actually her big ass panties. Betcha wish you hadn’t put on those goggles.
Booze Compass
It’s a gift. You can thank your higher power for this one.
No clue how ya got home, and judging from your bruised hip and sore throat, you probably don’t wanna know.
Beer Money
Really? It’s that hard to hang on to money that you had to get a piggy bank?
If you’re saving for like a 20-keg rager or 15 bottles on your b-day then OK. Otherwise grow up.
If you were really smart you’d have Cirrhosis Money, Attorney Money and Health Insurance for when your liver kicks, you get a DWI and end up in rehab.
Beer Muscles
Two kinds of beer muscles:
1) A few drinks down the hatch and all of a sudden some d-bag thinks he’s Steven Seagal, Jean Claude van Damme and Chuck Norris rolled into one.
2) When the guy who thinks he’s van Damme has super human strength from being so drunk and ends up on trial for involuntary manslaughter.
Everyone needs to relax.
Assed Out
There’s always someone at the pre-game who doesn’t make it to the bar/club.
Ever fall asleep at the bar/club and get kicked out. It sucks for everyone else… unless no one cares in which it cases it just sucks for you.
When it’s 6AM and the after-hours are barely hanging on, that’s when it’s time to ass out. Ya shoulda found someone to go home with…
Breaking the Seal
We’ll say this… women can hold it in for an awfully long time. Way longer than any guy. It’s impressive to be honest
Once they break the seal, however, it’ll be trips to bathroom every 5 minutes, all night long.
Pharrell wrote a song about it.
Buzz Kill
The asshole who ruins everyone’s night; usually because of their dumb ass drama, need to discuss politics and religion, or stick-up-their-ass opinion on what it means to have fun.
Examples include fights with one’s significant other, people who insist on telling ‘that’ story one more time, horrible music after you’ve just heard three of your favorite songs in a row, discovering that you’ve spent all of your money, tough guy meat heads and more.
The Dragon
Shout out to Big L!
When someone has bad breath next to you at the club and you cannot escape.
Considering dragons are mystical, fire-breathing creatures, the human equivalent is someone with bad breathe who’s burning other people’s nostril hairs. Hence the phrase, “that mawfucka caught the dragon.”
Club Rat
Someone who spends every night in the club, probably has a minimum wage job and a drug problem.
Drink Shrink
Those who, after a few drinks, discover they have the ability to psychoanalyze and offer unsolicited personal advice to anyone and everyone.
They will never shut up and always think they are right.
Hammered, Sh*t-faced, Tanked, Blitzed, Bombed, Wrecked, Smashed, Wasted
When you drank too much.
You can usually find these people being carried out by security
Jumping Strays
People who lurk around the club and steal unattended or abandoned drinks that some unsuspecting guest left at the bar.
As in, “I’m so broke I’ve been jumping strays all night.”
Last Call Lothario
Someone who’s shy until last call, at which point they’ll try to hook up with anything that has a pulse and/or alcohol at their home.
MDA – Mysterious Drinking Accident
When you wake up after a hard night of partying and look like you were in a boxing match.
Pre-Gaming
Doing the damn thing before you go out! Just don’t ass-out before it’s time to go the club.

Grand Central features a relatively simple layout. Walking in passed a patio that’s great in the warmer months, guests find an old-time photo booth should they want before, during and after shots of the evening. To the left is a sunken dance floor ‘room’ with entrances on each side. DJs spin the typical pop you hear on the radio.
Straight ahead is the main bar and standing room. Looking up, patrons suddenly realize why Grand Central is named after the famous Manhattan train station. The rounded, patterned ceiling is modeled after the storied hub of NY travel. A massive portrait of ‘The Most Interesting Man in the World’ adds the perfect touch.
Between the dance floor and main bar is a staircase leading to an upstairs bar and tables.
