And why is Prince not playing DC on his North American tour next year?

Where are the 2014 dates?  Any close to here?

Pittsburgh is the closest (at an arena that doesn't even exist anymore).

Maybe these aren't official yet??

Those are from 2013.

Last time he played in my city tickets were 200$+ so I am not sure I should care this time…

Didn't he make an unannounced appearance at Nation a while back?

i believe prince's last DC date was late summer 2004 at verizon.  musicology tour. great show.

My first concert was Prince at the Cap Center in 1984.

That is when he had 7 shows or something there. I tried to get tickets but I got shut out.

I am not old enough to know that Cellar Door was more than a promoter.  Was it an actual venue at one time?

Wait a second… I just looked it up and Cellar Door was at 34th and M…Wasn't that where Poseurs was located? 

also, The Bayou.

If i remember correctly it was only 2 or 3 shows.

On the Showlist DC:

Thursday, 29 May 2014
? Arvo Pärt - the Phillips Collection, Music Room [1600 21st St NW] (6:30 PM - Leading European Composers series) - NEW!

The website says that Arvo Pärt will be around in the US at that time (for conducting? for a lecture?). In any case, this should be good.

I want to say tickets to that already went on sale or are about to go on sale.

I believe it was across the street from where Poseurs ended up.

Sandbox sent me my Nick Cave seating placements.  Mine are in row K (tenth row) in the orchestra section.
