J Mascis at Kennedy Center

For people that are going to this tomorrow, what time are you planning to arrive? 

I'm guessing this won't fill to capacity, but I don't really know what to expect with these free shows.

I work in Georgetown and am shooting to be on my way by 4:30. So hopefully no later than 5:30 via public transport?


Supposedly there is a shuttle from Foggy Bottom to the Kennedy Center that leaves every 10 minutes.

i was going to go . . . free j . . . are you kidding me?  but alas we got flooding in our area, i live over a low water bridge, and i'm not going anywhere today.  isn't it suppose to rain today, too.

for those that can't make it you can stream the performance live (video) through the kennedy center website fyi


i can't make it which burns me up but them's the breaks…

Weather has also screwed me on this.  I'm pretty damn bummed.

May try to watch via stream, though.  Will hardly make up for missing a pretty unique event.

Probably quicker to walk.

The shuttle from Foggy to the KC is for the old farts. Quit being lazy and hoof it.

ride the shuttle.  you can be all drunk and stuff and mumble old dinosaur lyrics.  on the streets that will get you killed.

Damnit Walkies. I was hoping to tell you how wrong you are about the Dino catalog in person. Maybe someday.



Not walking anywhere in the rain.

You're in luck. weather.com shows a break in the rain from 4-7.

Guess that's when I'll do my run today.

and i was going to wear a cute shirt . . . of a kitten with its head cut off.  darn.

watching live . . . damn . . . j is destroying that kennedy center place.  i would love to see the faces of those who are walking to other shows and checking out the center, only to hear the master pedal into electric.

this is what a proper dinosaur jr show should be, azag, when you get back and are reading this.  j knows to respect the mighty kennedy center with a full catalogue.

That was awesome. Acoustic J with all the fuzzy guitar solos you could ask for. First time at the Ken Cen and Mill Stage, what a beautiful venue. They need more alternative acts there.

While we are at it, how do you pronounce J's last name? Is it Mas-ssis or Mask-iss?

mas (as in mask, mast) cis (like kiss)

almost like saying

j  mass kiss

As other have said, awesome.  I didn't expect all the Dino songs, or all the fuzzed out guitar based on his solo record.

Fantastic set. I thought "this is a Walky set" to myself a few times.

Got it. All in the name of truth and accuracy.

Or maybe you could broaden your musical palate a bit.

good size crowd.  most seats were occupied.  very loud up front, especially the last 15 minutes.  probably the loudest kc/millenium show i have ever been to.  also the best  kc/millenium  sound mix i have ever heard.  it almost seemed like the guitar sound came from the stage and the vocals from the pa system.
