Beck, playing DC tonight!
I think he's doing a late announced gig in Atlanta tomorrow too. No word on if the puppets are making the trip.
Could someone please confirm.deny this asap. The link you provided offers the same limited information…info on tickets?
I'll add circumstantial evidence:
He's in New York to play on Letterman tonight (filmed in the early afternoon).
He's definitely playing Atlanta tomorrow night.
DC is on the way to Atlanta.

Washington Post blog lists it as confirmed by door staff, tickets on sale at 9pm. Advises being in line, oh, an hour ago.
Take this for what it's worth: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/goingoutgurus/2006/10/secret_information.html
I think it's on and have someone waiting in line right now.

I'm already down there. It's pretty crowded. I'm about the 25th person in line.

Can you get me a ticket? I'll pay you?

$12 PER TICKET, 1 TICKET PER PERSON. NO ONE CAN BUY MORE THEN 1 TICKET SO IF YOU'RE NOT THERE SOON, YOU'RE SCREWED.
60-70 PEOPLE IN LINE ALREADY.

OH MY GOD, I am so bummed that I can't make it! If it was a weekend I would be there in a flash. :(
Can't believe he's not making a bigger show in DC. The NYC/NJ area got like 4 shows.
holy moly. This will certainly be an insane mob scene. Although I still wish I'd known earlier, what with living like 6 blocks away. Beck puts on a good show.
Holy shit would I have loved to have seen this earlier. RSS would be handy in situations like this!
Either that or Dante Ferrande sending us a text message on our cell phones!
I'd take that too. Now, Dante's going to get a shitload of PMs with people's cell phone numbers…sweet…
i really wish more musicians would do things like this. I love it when bands play secret or non-publicized shows in much smaller venues than they're used to.
you can argue that this means everybody doesn't get to see them, but the important thing is that the people that are on their toes, do.
more bands should do this.

I got there at around 8:30 for the apples show and think I could've gotten in if I stuck around. Someone in line close by did a headcount and got something like 130. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay because I was relying on metro to get me home. The apples were fun if anyone cares.
the show was phenomenol. funky as all get out. worth the loooooong wait any day.
setlist?
setlist will have to come tomorrow -need to grab a few zzz's before tomorrow. ugh. played a lot of request from the crowd. very intimate.
what an incredible show. absolute clusterf*ck figuring out how the lines worked (or didn't), but if you stuck around you could get in. i got there at 7:30, eventually got in.
i spent 80% of the show stuck against the stage - incredible. funky as all hell. i held the backup/keyboard dude's cowbell twice. they played fro about 1:10, no encore. the show wasn't so much mind-blowing as dissarming: these guys got off a plane, played on someone else's instruments (for the most part) and kicked major ass. a girl close to the band took position as a bouncer in front of the stage- beck's GF?!? kick-ass :)
spoke with justin (bassist) after the show, he totally enjoyed himself and looked forward to coming back to DC.
killer evening. once again, these late shows are going to kill me… but totally worth it. top 5, possibly top 3 show of the year in term of how much i enjoyed it.
