it's probably a safer area than the 9:30 club's location

c'mon … it's going to be bright and sunny at 7pm. would ian mackaye put anyone in danger?

Much safer. I used to live in the apartment building across the street, and go to All Souls for services on select Sunday mornings.

yeah, i know. the deal here is that my mom's leaving for LA late on friday and she's the one that always lets me go to these things…
my dad, who is already going to be putting up a fight with me, will likely NOT go for the whole two-shows-take-a-cab thing. i mean, i've done it before, but i am pretty sure i'm gonna have to pass on this one. even though i frickin love the Evens more than…more than…well, i'll get back to you on that. not Fugazi. but they are still awesome.

and, we are taking all the focus away from SOFT COMPLEX!!!!

Or Maybe UB40! LOL

But seriously, it was my first time at the Black Cat last night and I couldn't deal with the smoke inside the main stage. I feel like I'm going to have lung cancer after seeing several shows there. The 930 club's smoke is not bad 'cause it's bigger and has higher ceilings.

You'll get used to it. As a millitant anti-smoker, I pretty much thought I was going to die the first time I was in there. But it's such a great venue that it's totally worth it…

And 9:30 has bigger and better vents. Get used to it? Bleheh.
Anyhow, I dig all three bands - what are the set times please? Exit Clov headlines, eh?

best guess, based on the Black Cat's door time of 9:30:

doors at 9:30
Georgie James at 10
Soft Complex at 11
Exit Clov at 12

ill be seeing ladytron at irving plaza! i cant wait. :D

Wait, what's your beef with the Clov?

hey, so i am wondering…
is there anyone here that is going to the Evens show, and then heading over to the black cat, for sure?

i still don't know whether i'm going to attempt to do both, but in the event that i do - is there anyone who is doing both, for sure, that would wanna maybe give little Betty a ride? i'm very polite.

It's not walking distance from the venue that the Evens are playing at, to the Black Cat?

I'm gonna attempt to do both but I'm going to walk.

well it might be, but i don't think it's exactly walking distance for a girl like me (even if i have another guy with me). let me know if you decide to drive.

The Evens show isn't near metro?

the ONLY way to get around dc fast is by bicycle. thx to whoever originally posted the evens show. it was not posted anywhere else. no city paper, wash post. it is not even on pf's website. maybe pf was handing out flyers, but i never saw one. it will be interesting to see what size kind of crowd they get with no advertising. i think peirce hall is pretty big.

It looks like it is exactly a mile from the Church to the Black Cat.

Someone told me that it is hard to find parking near the venue where the Evens are playing :(

landspeedrecord! at the Talking Head for me…

so what did everyone think?

thanks to those forumites who made it - we had a lot of fun.
