A proclamation. A street. Now the possibility of a a mural (we always wanted one) at the historic Ben’s Chili Bowl!!!!!!! Family, friends, and everyone who knew Sam or experienced one of his events, please consider taking 2 minutes to nominate Sam “The Man” Burns for the new Ben’s Chili Bowl mural. This is live and the window is open, but time is of the essence! Submissions close May 17th, less than a week! Here’s a ready-made message anyone can copy and paste into the form: (of course you can use your own words) Suggested name: Sam “The Man” Burns Why he should be featured: Sam “The Man” Burns was a beloved DJ, mentor, and cornerstone of Washington DC’s community and culture — much like Ben’s Chili Bowl itself. Through his events, his music, and his spirit, Sam brought people together on U Street and beyond for decades. He was a native Washingtonian born in 1957, just one year before Ben’s opened its doors in 1958 — two DC institutions, forever linked. Featuring Sam on the new mural would honor not just a man, but the entire community he helped build and the legacy he left behind. 👉 Submit here: benschilibowl.com/new-mural 📅 Deadline: May 17, 2026 📣 Tag it: #BensNewMural Please share this far and wide; every submission counts. Let’s get Sam “The Man” on that wall. 🎶 Forever grateful! “Music, Film, Dance, and Art are my weapons for Peace.” - Sam Burns 👉 benschilibowl.com/new-mural #BensNewMural. @benseverything

In the time BC (Before Covid) three dope DJs decided to share their love of #HouseMusic with anyone who would come to listen. We called those events HOUSE SESSIONS. Well we are putting the band back together for what I’m sure will be an unforgettable night of dancing. The musical journey I expect to hear from @djclevelandbrowne alongside residents @philippe_the_haitian and myself will have the dance floor floating. May 30th is the date, @18thstlounge is the location, and 9:00pm is the start time! Looking forward to seeing some more new faces bless the dance floor this month. And a BIG SALUTE to those who have consistently supported. We appreciate you. @urbanartistrydc let’s continue this journey family! Meet us on the dance floor 🪩 💃🏾 🕺🏾
