We’ve received a number of emails about the May DPHH. Many people are excited about going — it is shaping up to be a big event! But some are confused about what they need to do in order to gain admittance to the prestigious SkyClub at Zanzibar at the Waterfront in Washington, DC. So we’ve decided to put together these FAQs based on the emails that we have received thus far.

1. How do I get into the SkyClub at Zanzibar?

In order to get into the SkyClub at the discount rate of $10 before 10 p.m. and $20 after 10 p.m., you must print out the DeafDC.com eCommunique about the May DPHH. If you don’t subscribe to the DeafDC.com eCommunique, please sign up!

Enter your email on the DeafDC.com homepage in the field marked with a red ellipse:

We will send out another DeafDC.com eCommunique next week on Thursday, May 3rd, this time with the formal invitation. Please print out the May 3rd DeafDC.com eCommunique and bring it with you to Zanzibar.

2. But my friend doesn’t subscribe/But my friend is from out of town what should he/she do?

Print out an extra copy for your friend or forward the DeafDC.com eCommunique to him/her. The invitation is not limited to DeafDC.com eCommunique subscribers only, it’s for everyone who wants to go to DPHH!

3. I’ve been to Zanzibar before, which one is the right level?

There are two different levels in Zanzibar, in order to get into the SkyClub, go to the upper level/top-level. If you go into the lower level, you will not have access to the SkyClub or the other exclusive areas at the top-level.

4. What do I do once I get in…?

The SkyClub doesn’t open until 8 pm. In order to get into the SkyClub, everyone must meet at the “International level” before we head up to the heavens. All DPHHers are required to show the DeafDC.com eCommunique announcing this DPHH as their invitation to gain entry into the SkyClub. No invitation, no admission!

5. What if the SkyClub runs out of space?

The SkyClub only holds 250 people, so it is first come, first served. If you don’t get in, don’t worry, the place is huge and there are plenty of other places to hang out inside the rest of Zanzibar.

6. What are the Zanzibar rules? How should I dress? Can my friend who is 20 come with me?

This is a very upscale establishment, so observe the rules set forth by Zanzibar. Everyone must be 21 and older to enter the club with proper ID. Please follow the strictly enforced Zanzibar dress code: business casual. This means no athletic wear, sneakers, Timberland boots, jeans or hats. Put simply: dress like a professional to impress.

See you at Zanzibar!

Update:

Zanzibar contacted us with the following message:

-Make sure everyone has an government issued ID with date of birth, and picture shown. Required to enter the club.

-Let them know to enter only through the SKYCLUB entrance for the event. The Skyclub has it’s own entrance to the left of the building. Also, they must bring the invitation for admission.

-Dress Code: Professional look, but causal.
