WOAH!!! I'm off to Super Value to get my bog roll, milk and whatever else I'm supposed to get whenever a sprinkle of snow falls on DC.
 
 It was a balmy 12c yesterday but dropped down to 8c this morning. Oh to be in the gulf stream warmth of south west Cork.  :p

[ratioci nation]

at least we are not getting 20 inches like new york city

[walkonby]

i want  a job like the weathermen; get paid for being wrong seventy percent of the time.
 
 "hey everybody, we're getting up to eight inches, maybe even a foot of snow."
 
 it's one-fourty p.m., and it has already stopped here, with less than two inches, top.  go, go, bob ryan.

[Arthwys]

yeah....still snowing here, but 2 inches so far at most....pisses me off

  Battle of the Bands, featuring Chump and 10 other groups has been rescheduled for February 5 at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, due to impending snow.

[curiouslittlemonkey]

anyone know if the show might be cancelled/postponed tonight? i've called the concert line and it just makes screeching noises.    
 any thoughts?

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

if the past is any guide I would suspect the answer is no....

[curiouslittlemonkey]

thanks! any idea if there's a number i can call other than the concert line?

[Bags]

The Smithereens show at the State Theater is cancelled.      
 
 We're going to drink and try to co-opt the jukebox at the Big Hunt instead...

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

I should probably wait for someone who actually knows what they're talking about to chime in, rather than feeding you my earthy, down-home folk wisdom, but I think if they did cancel the show, they'd probably post that on the website.

[eddie]

All four acts are here and accounted for so the show is go.  You can reach us at 202.265.0930 anytime we are here. The concert line is just our list of upcoming shows.  If there are ever any changes to our planned events those changes would be listed on our website in the "This Just In..."  Or "Today is..." section.
