advice for an out of towner?

headed to 930 for the mould show friday, any advice on other places to go for the out of towner. i am so excited to see the man i'm practically spinning above the earth already. thanks for any input. happy concerting. :D

The Black Cat

Iota

POLLSTAR!


go check out the Warhol exhibit at the Corcoran, too.

and enjoy our wonderful, wonderful scene + fall foliage. DC is boss.

i'd humbly suggest you go across the street from the 930 club to DC 9 for the Liberation Dance Party after the show … but i wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of afterparty somewhere else

that's the spirit! more, more, more, as i will have companions, the more choices the better. to help pick your minds, we are old women (40's) who love martini's & beer, music, music & music, men, str8 or not, dives or hip lounges, anything quintessentially local. i can't wait to awake with my ears ringing, giggling from the fun you all have introduced us to.

Uh, that's BEN'S CHILI BOWL! (all caps, all times :p )

so, will someone elaborate on BEN"S CHILI BOWL. looks like good eats, character & value. is there anything else i should know?

if you are here Sat and enjoy visiting late Victorian House Museums, stop by the Heurich House near Dupont Circle. I need to confirm the Saturday tour time as it's not currently listed on the website.

it's primarily an inside joke on the forum… it became almost the first recommendation anytime anyone asked for dining establishments recommendations near the club. it then became a catch phrase of sorts here until it became stale.

ben's is a greasy spoon on U street, either you love or hate it

oooh, an inside joke. this i love. thanks for the candor. we will be in town thru sat.
planned to make the philie show bit only the death or a 97 year old grandmother has squelched our little trip. so, it's up to you wdc.
i know mr mould will deliver. and so can his town.
to bad granny cool isn't on the playlist this time around. we will celebrate the old broad in style.
what is a good neighborhood for post show activities?

Hey, I'm sincere when I say BEN'S CHILI BOWL. The food rocks and it's the only place I know of that still uses crushed ice.

say no more, crushed ice can often be a life saver.

i am the most naive 41 year old on the planet. but isn't it the dc eagle, not the blue oyster. would just like to find a fun place where i don't turn the heads for being a breeder.
great picture, tho.

I've got plenty of ideas…when do you get in to town, and when are you planning to get to the club? And where (generally) are you staying in the city? I ask so that I dont' send you all over town in a nonsensical way…

I'd start at a hip hotel lounge (Red Room or Helix) and have some expensive drinks in big glasses, go to the club and go crazy rocking out to the man we all love, then stay around U Street and head to DC9 (just a block away) for dancing upstairs after the show. Oh yeah, guess you could grab a bit of food at the hotel bars, then have a very late night experience at Ben's Chili Bowl (only way to eat there is with a belly almost full of booze!)

we arrive lunchtime fri, stay thru sun & are staying in direct access to metro. familiar w/ town but haven't been just for fun since carnival of light & sound show in 02.

Ben's Chili Bowl is on par with the SNL "No Coke Pepsi" restaurant from days of old. Great food, but if you are veg, probably not a good first choice.

Hey the club xmas party was there one year!
