unfortunately for the DC faithful, closest shows are NYC or Pittsburg.
i am contemplating seeing the show in Seattle, Ore.
Yet another Natural DC show ignores us because of the siren lure that is Pittsburg.
Pittsburgh is too far to have anything to do with the DC market….
DC to Pitts, per GMaps: 4 hr 7 min
DC to NYC, per GMaps: 3 hr 57 min

Great city.
can confirm…great food and beer
Plus the locals are super friendly
Lots of cool hipster vibes as well as old school blue collar stuff
Highly recommend renting a bike, very bike friendly and can cross almost all the bridges on a protected path
Kinda of dorky, but was bummed I didn't get to try the funicular: The Duquesne Incline
Didn't realize that Flashdance is set in Pittsburgh…also can confirm they do have a lot of strip clubs

I was bummed my sister didn’t move from Houston to Pittsburgh
She said it was cold and there was nothing nearby…. I was pretty frustrated telling her Pittsburgh is itself a cool city
They said no to way more money to stay in Houston
This happened earlier this year… gggrrrr

When it comes to tours, NYC and DC are first-tier cities. Pittsburg and Baltimore, they might hit on round two. Heilung followed this approach.

Someone doesn’t get the concept apparently
NYC is it’s own distinct market
Bands don’t go “NY or DC, which should I hit?”
Same with Pittsburgh
Now a band might go play Baltimore instead of DC…
let me help you with this geography lesson: this has nothing to do with being a distinct market, the relative importance of a given city in the hierarchy of touring stops, etc. it has everything to do with the fact that if you want to see the band on this tour, you have two options that are equally close. if the NYC date isn't convenient, you should consider going to Pittsburgh and vice-versa. no economics or marketing needed.

You could also show some faith in our Lord and Sexual Assaulter Seth to miraculously provide a Surprise! At the Club show for the true believers. Stand and see your salvation!

I really respect the humility of Hootie and the Blowfish to acknowledge they cannot headline all four nights and need to bring in some starpower like Barenaked Ladies to close on of them.
