I'd love to see the DJ list from last night. I heard lots of good stuff…Gray Matter, 9353, Made For TV… I don't think I've heard that "I'm Afraid of the Russians" song in over 15 years. Well done.

no sellout the club was only about 1/3 full
I had a great time and was thoroughly impressed by the Slickees (and guest drummer). First time I've ever seen them since I didn't move to the area until about four months before the old club's demise.
The movie was really cool and made you feel like you were part of something special (both the old and new club). And, of course, the t-shirt was an especially nice touch. Typical of the class that the club exudes.

The show was great fun. The movie was a great trip down memory lane and the Slickee Boys were the icing on the cake, as they were the first band I saw at the old club.
I wanted to thank everyone who came out to see our "sneak preview" of "9:30 F Street" on Sunday. I'm glad to read that so many people enjoyed it. Thanks for your support!

Great movie…when and where can I buy a DVD of this cool flick ?
Originally posted by MAXX44:Yes, I've been wondering the same thing. Seems it should soon be a staple at the 9:30 merch stand.

I was going to ask as well.. figure it would be available after the filmfest?
We are currently working out the details of getting the film duplicated. To be honest, we weren't sure if anyone would be interested in buying a copy, and thus were a little unprepared. For anyone who is interested in buying a copy, send us an email to info@930fstreet, or keep an eye on the website for more details.
I wish I had kept some of those postcards/schedule of events. I held onto them for a bit then lost in a move.
I believe my brother was on the list, then I was. Some shown in the film I remember receiving.

DR. DOOM!!!
Who the hell are you? and what were you doing ferrying about the European Diskoman?
Hasn't he headed back to the Hague?
Have you seen Mao lately?
I pose for you, for I am a Poseur!!
Yr. Not Dick Steak, by any chance?
Colin Sears?
Great to hear more about the documentary. I used to drive the elevator at the Lincoln Building arond the corner from the club, and on one occasion, I got to drive the elevator in the Atlantic Building!!!
I even got to take Frederick Hart up to his studio. He's the sculptor who made the statue of the soldiers that was added to the Vietnam Veterans memorial, and he designed it upstairs at the Atlantic Building.
God that place brings back memories!!!
I got married on that old stage. (then the damn place goes and closes 6 weeks later!!)
I really wanted my ashes rubbed into the carpet on the stage. But, I guess it's OK the building died before I did, right?
Good to hear about Oscar's Eye again. If I'm not mistaken, they moved to 6th & K, and they're still going strong.
Cheers all!!

Silverdocs Kicks Off
What I love most about the annual Silverdocs festival, a celebration of documentary film, are the moments when counterculture and suburban culture clash. Last year it happened during the outdoor screening of a doc about punk rock legend Joe Strummer, which was followed by an energetic performance from indie rocker Ted Leo. This terrific celebration of anti-establishment music took place in downtown Silver Spring in front of … an Ann Taylor Loft. It didn't diminish the quality of the event, but it definitely made me laugh.
Last night's kick-off to this year's Silverdocs, at the AFI Silver Theatre now through Sunday, overflowed with similar moments. The entire event was themed around the opening night film, "Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream." Consequently, at the after-party held at nearby Discovery Channel headquarters, I had the mind-blowing experience of seeing Montgomery County officials like Doug Duncan mingling as footage of Divine performing lewd sexual acts in John Waters's "Pink Flamingos" played on a screen nearby. Actors dressed as Divine, Dr. Frank N. Furter from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and a zombie from "Night of the Living Dead" – all movies that were featured in Stuart Samuels's entertaining documentary – also paraded through the proceedings at the pre-screening cocktail reception and the post-party. Really, you haven't lived until you've seen Maryland Sen. Ida Rubin in the same room with a sweet transvestite.
Wondering which of the 89 documentaries you should try to catch over the next five days? Weekend film critic Desson Thomson highlighted a number of worthwhile films in this article. In particular, I recommend "Murderball," a fascinating, often moving documentary about players for the U.S. Paralympic Rugby Team; it screens Friday at 7:15 p.m. If you love bawdy humor, you also won't want to miss the "God Love the Dirty Joke" event on Saturday, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Round House Theatre with a screening of "The Comedians of Comedy," followed by a panel discussion at 8 p.m. (the genius Fred Willard is one of the comics participating) and a screening of the much-buzzed-about "Aristocrats" at the Silver Theatre at 10 p.m. Lastly, if you miss the old 9:30 Club (and who doesn't miss trying to watch a show from behind a huge wooden post?), you should catch "9:30 F Street," a doc about the history of the beloved venue that screens Sunday at 8 p.m.
Silverdocs is truly a great festival, so carve out as much time as you can to explore the many worthwhile screenings. And if you need to take a break for some shopping, Ann Taylor Loft is conveniently located nearby.
