You can't tell me that $16 for a pint of Boddies and pint of flat Guiness is not out of order in a shit hole like Polly's.
Dandy Warhols Presale info
Pollys is on Ust between 14th and 13th. On the right if you go from 14th to to 13th. Not much beer choice. they are 4 minutes walk from 930.
For a bigger beer choice there is the saloon across the road. But the food is less good there and the old letcherous waiter always touches the boys and the girls and gives everyone the creeps.
I kinda like pollys.

It's on U St. just the 9:30 Club side of 14th St.. Only several doors down from 14th St.. Look for the black flat sculptures outside the place. If you are going away from the 9:30 Club and towards 14th, it's on the left side of the street.
Originally posted by Jaguär:that is why the club normally gets a cut of the door money?
My point being that it costs a lot to put on a live electric show which has to be passed onto the consumer, therefore, warranting a bit higher drink cost.
At velvet lounge they get the first $60 apparently. I wonder what the 930's deal is?
[[/qb]I have that as the last track from their Black album.What do yu guys think of it compared to their proper releases? [/qb]I liked the other covers (Hell's Bells, Ohio) better than Edmund Fitzgerald. They also did The Nuge's "Free for All" which was kind of weird. [/QB] Hmm,i have none of those on my copy.Here's the track list of what i have: 1:Hey Check Hey…2:ccr…3:good morning…4:head…5:Whitegold…6:boys…7:Traci lords…8:Get you high(probably my fave from this)…9shiny leather…10:alien…11:instrumental…12:nother nameless in….13:minasoter…14:wreck of the edmund fitzgerald… That's all i have,so what else am i missing other than the aforementioned covers?
I think the Polly's food is pretty average.
Has anybody tried the food at Cafe Saint-Ex on 14th?

Stay away from the Guiness by the way, just save yourself $6 and drink a quart of oil rather than drink their shit.

The only covers I can recall are the aforementioned (Hell's Bells, Ohio, Wreck of the EF, Free for All) and a couple that I have on a UK import (Eight Days A Week, BJM's Stars)
I know that there are some recordings of Zia doing Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" but I don't know if those are just live boots.

Originally posted by ggwâ?¢:They are pretty good at giving MP3s away of odd recordings of their songs. I have that one of Merceds Benz. You aren't missing anything, believe me! The Edmund Fitzgerald one is okay but not one of my favorites. Hell's Bells is one of the better ones. There are a lot of others, some of which are pretty good such as Black Dog. And there's another of which I can't remember the title of but you can hear that it's the work up of You Were The Last High but jammed out a bit and I don't think it has lyrics yet.

I won't be able to make the Polly's shindig, but if you end up hanging with Anton and his posse I'm sure I'll find you at the show.
I will be at the show, and most likely at Polly's or wherever it is that we go.
