I'm there.
What I've heard of the new Pit Er Pat is pretty good.

if work isn't too stupid on tuesday, i'm there too. i need another DMQB fix to up my indie cred :p
with two openers, what are the chances this show will be over by midnight? not that the VL is known to sticking to any semblance of a schedule… alternately, anyone wanna share a cab back to bethesda after the show, or can offer me a ride?

I think the earliest I've ever left the Velvet after a show with three acts was 12:45.
The latest was about 2. On a monday night.
Edit: That one actually had four acts now that I think about it.

we've had some shows end by midnight. it all depends on how many bands are on the bill, if the bands show up on time, if soundcheck goes well, if breakdowns and changeovers go smooth, etc. there are a lot of variables, in a small club with a minimal staff, that dictate how efficiently a show runs.
this show won't run too late. i'm guessing it'll be over by 12:30. there will be a lot of people there and we are soundchecking earlier than usual, so i really hope to start at 9:30 and get DMBQ on by 11:30. they will definitely be on before midnight.

i'll be seeing dmbq and monotonix in baltimore since monday with be more convenient for me….. but.. i'm having doubts the baltimore crowd will deliver since rainbow rock is all the rage in charm city now a days.
so… maybe?

dmbq and monotonix together is retarded. pit er pat and awesome color are good openers for dmbq, too. both of these shows will deliver high-quality entertainment.
fucking rainbow rock…that shit's on its 14th minute.

Much as it kills me, I have to miss them this time. Just can't make it work for a variety of reasons. I'm sure it will be positively sick.

Tell me about it. This is not a sacrifice made lightly.
Sweetcell, sincere congratulations on the engagement. But this is what happens my man. (At least when the wife starts spittin' out trophies)

I'm hoping to make this, but if my Monday is any indication, this work week will not be show-conducive.

That Ottobar show was pretty insane. Way too much nudity but just enough chaos.

dmbq were on point last night. the lead singer catapulted into the crowd and everyone parted pretty much as if it were the red sea. hope his head/back is okay for tonight's show.
