When we called the Great Blacks in Wax Museum for comment about the stabbing during a party there, the director told me that the place had been rented out by the Baltimore Christian Warriors, which holds wholesome events and raises money for activities such as youth marching bands. He said there had never been any past violence. But I wanted to find out more about this group, and it led me on an interesting path.

Follow me on this one:

-If you Google "Baltimore Christian Warrior," one of the first results is actually a post from Midnight Sun in which our nightlife reporter Sam Sessa saw an ad for "free party bookings" and called the number to find out what that was about. The voicemail said it was the hotline for the "Baltimore Christian Warriors."

-So I revisited that poster Sam first saw on Calvert St., and it took me to a Myspace page for Big Les Productions. The page advertises "Follow the Swag" parties for young adults and "mature high schoolers," featuring events such as "'She's got a Donk' sexy ladies dance contests." Most of the fliers are for parties at the Great Blacks in Wax Museum (such as the one at right), and many feature young men throwing up what appear to be gang signs and flipping the bird to the camera. It's apparently a weekly party, with a cover charge, and the fliers indicate that the party on the night of stabbing was part of this series - not, at least from the outside, a fundraiser for the Baltimore Christian Warriors.

(In a clever marketing move, one single party has about 20 different fliers advertising it as a birthday party for someone else. So it gets packed and all your friends think they're there for you)

I tried calling "Big Les" to see what the deal is; someone answered the phone and said he takes Les' calls for him and would pass the message along. In the meantime, I've reached out again to the museum's deputy director again to find out whether the wool was pulled over their eyes in regards to nature of these parties, or whether there's something else going on.
