There are two lines and everyone is confused down here because of those placeholder red tickets. Conflicting info from door staff.
Anyone from IMP who can explain who should be standing where? For real?
I don't want to get screwed standing in the wrong line.
Just go to the brixton. Drink until 8. No more lines!

I just wanted to comment that I had a fantastic time at the show last night
sound was awesome, band was on point and the best venue in dc
I am so happy for the random acts of kindness from FWB!
Glad Dave and co did a full two hour set last night, kinda thought we'd only get 45 mins of songs and some interviews
pleasantly surprised
also…I am happier going last night as it was about 3/4 full
tonight will be butts to nuts packed
also it was Free…not $100, so that made it that much sweeter
in the future, I'm definitely ride-sharing
took like 30 minutes to get out of the garage and cost $20
nice poster

this is my new fav expression. although "nuts to butts" makes more sense to me, logically; but doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily. dammit.

Great Foos show.
Packed Ns to Bs for sure.
Folks got a little unhappy over by stage left when one dude decided to mosh/slam aggressively at the start of "monkeyranch." Marine looking patron took moshguy down very quickly, and handed bewildered moshguy over the staph.
Fuck AT&T. No signal at all. folks with T-Mobile were streaming the Nats game with perfect clarity and I cannot even text to get in communication with friends at the show.
Three more notes:
I am old and tired.
Boilen and Bagley are doppelgangers.

Cell service was also terrible for me with Verizon. Walked out of the venue only to discover several messages from The Director that were too late. :(
Couldn't connect to the wifi either, probably overloaded. They ditched the "name must match ticket" policy at some point, probably took too long with the mass of people. I wonder which side of the venue was quicker to enter. Facing the front, I was to the right. I would guess that the other side was probably quicker, I didn't know that was an option.

Got a Poster. The regular posters were a series of 300. There were also "foil variants" in a set of 100. I got there too late for the foil variant; and that's fine.

I had no service with Sprint on Sunday, not even roaming. But last night I had 3G, start to finish.

Yeah, I was among the crowd that was pulled from the back of the right line to the front of the left line. That was an unexpected bonus!
Two fantastic shows. It was a joy to have been able to be there Wednesday with a smaller crowd. But what the hell, it's the Foos, so it was also fun being packed in last night and bouncing around.
I love the venue. Big, but feels like a club, not an arena.
No wifi, no cell except behind the soundboard (I have Verizon).
Bit of a bar fail; took 26 minutes to get beer at the bar on the second level, stage left. Discussed with friends, would make a HUGE difference if you could just swipe and go. Which would mean adding tip automatically, which I know would make some people losing their minds. But, having each patron sign a receipt takes a lot of time and creates some chaos.

hey seth -
perhaps look into those stand-alone card swipers like they have at most grocery* check-outs these days? add a tip on the pin-pad, sign on the screen using the "electronic pen"… and sell more beer, faster, to happier customers.
* i'm assuming that you actually frequent grocery stores… if not, ask your butler/personal shopper about it.
Did they check ID's against the name on the tickets to get in?
Yes. They're not doing that for tonight's LCDSS show, tho.
(They will check your ID for drinking age, and either issue you a wristband or stamp your hand.)

They did not check names on tix against IDs at FoosThursday; at least not mine. Just checked IDs for age.
would have been easy to sell a tix then
but good they made people think they had to be on the tix so the secondary market couldn't kill them
