I would be into that… I'm surprised how little I've heard of him the past decade or so……

I recently learned that the Power Station recorded a follow up in the mid 1990s with Palmer again on vocals….I promptly picked it up.
Now that I think of it a Power Station reunion to open Anthem would be awesome!
Oh wait. He died.
>:(
it would be great if Chuck Berry made an appearance even just to wave hello… He will not be around much longer….

What if OAR opens The Anthem?


I know for one, Sidehutch would be happy.

yikes I hate OAR more than nickelback
Allegedly there is a pool on top of Anthem and the bottom of said pool is glass, so you can look at people swimming while you take in a show.  Not sure how I feel about this.

seriously? sounds very 70s disco

i assume they will make sure the people swimming are attractive?
Feature story in today's WASH POST on the venue.  The pool is confirmed.  There's pic, too which shows that the upstairs seems to have two smaller stacked levels for better viewing.
Pool on the roof at Anthem, pools backstage at MPP. . . what's with Seth's sudden obsession with aquatic recreation?

Just spitballing here but what if – what if!? – a sequence of events began the night Seth hung out with Hutch leading to Seth digesting several hallucinogenic drugs to dull the pain of the experience. Suppose then the freshly-laced Seth then went back to his home and watched Kevin Smith's film Tusk on Amazon Prime. In his delusional, drug-addled state, the middle-aged Seth then was overcome by a moment of psychedelic bliss while seeing the Cronenbergian body horror tale of the effeminate, coquettish boy-masquerading-as-man that is Justin Long being sadistically transformed into a walrus. What if I were then to posit that through some sort of psychosomatic transference, Seth's brain became rewired to associate that kaleidoscopic euphoria with the hallucinatory fever-dream of himself becoming a walrus, which in turn leads to our millionaire friend using his connections and personal wealth to ensconce his business empire with swimming pools, the perfect habitat for the walrus he is transitioning into. Its the thread on which this entire series of events hangs together, people; read between the lines and its clear as the sharp, baleful incisors Seth betrays with every smile.

Ticket prices starting at $119.99, oh so rock n roll!
That was Thirsty Turtle previously, or am I getting my Route 1 frat-infested watering holes mixed up?
Definitely possibly a "D'oh", based on ticket selling for other I.M.P. ventures, but….
It is official that TicketFly will do the tickets for The Anthem, which will open in October still.
