yes, i know this has been discussed countless times . . . but i am all excited that i am coming to the show this evening, and i plan on getting there early to get a parking space. so where can i go to get a drink and bite to eat (i eat anything as long as it is good) that is within close, as in i hate walking, walking distance from the club and back. i have never really explored what is around the club excect that gas station right there.
Club's 30th anniversary?

walky, there is a bar thats right across from the club called Duffys. http://www.duffysdc.com/
I can't say I have had their food, but I have had beer there. Not too bad for the drafts and I think they have a happy hour starting at 4, but not sure. I'm heading off to DC right now. I'm going to stop at the wharf to eat some seafood. Mmmmmm softshell crab sandwiches ;D
So, 5PM doors. Do we know what time the festivities begin?
I think I overheard somebody say it starts at 6 last night.

no set times announced yet - 930.com only sez 5 pm doors, and no updates in the FAQ either. hopefully we'll know soon. 6 pm sounds about right.
as soon as we do know set times, i'll propose a meet-up time. i'm thinking the break before marti jones and don dixon - please check this thread a little later.
either way, i'll be wearing my orange t-shirt it an atari logo on it. can't miss it - come say hi.

Ulitmate FAIL on anyone missing dixon/jones
how much time do you think each band gets? 14 bands (assuming??? is Dave Grohl) in all.
I don't post on here all too often, but I'll be wearing a green t-shirt with a nerve cell on it. I'd love to put some faces to names, so come on up and say hello. Really looking forward to tonight.

There's really not much I consider missable(?) in the lineup. Maybe Ted Leo, just because he plays here all the time anyway. This is a stellar lineup from top to bottom.
Tiny Desk Unit playing first.
Anyone have an extra?
ticket claimed

agreed. not much i want to miss either.
alternative: meet-up upstairs, maybe at the upstairs bar? that way people could continue to hang out together once the next band goes on (unless it's clutch, of course. see? i'm learning!)

is that a statement, or your suggestion of what to skip? would be too early for a meet-up, i wouldn't expect everyone to be there yet.
smylie and 6949, a match made in heaven…
^ it's a statement. They are playing first.
yeah, i'm assuming the order on the invite is the order they'll be playing in.

Smylie we posted at about the same time. Send me a PM if you haven't found one yet.
I (David Holmes) won two tickets via the forum lottery, but can't attend. :( Unforeseen circumstances and I'm honestly a bit upset (missing the Psychedelic Furs, damn it), but… -sigh-
I hope this is seen and two more people are allowed in or what not.
Apologies and, to those going, have a great time!
