If not GGW...Dave Grohl? [/b]
He's like 5'7" [/b]
I'm hoping you mean 67"!   :D

The fonts on this board are screwy.  There's an apostrophe between the 5 and the 7, you just can't see it.  So, yes, he's about 67 inches tall.
 
 What other musical celebrities hail from DC?

EmmyLou Harris was valedictorian of her class at Woodbridge HS, but I bet it wasn't her that was at Iota.

No worries, Mank.  I never thought you cared about the hype -- trust me!  Just love that phrase, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
 
 That whole sister/brother and husband/wife crap is some of the stuff I think is silly and distracting.  Whatever.  If the kids enjoy it, go for it.

One comment on the Post review-  It says Jack White needs to learn to be more of a showman to play the bigger venues. But he seems to have learned the first rule of showmanship- always leave them wanting more.  
 
 The set was certainly on the lower key side. I was especially happy to hear One More Cup of Coffee. The set could have used another rave-up like Astro/Jack the Ripper to really get things going . . .  Too bad they didn't play another night in DC.

The singer from Last Train Home is tall, and they were in town for the Escovedo benefit.
 
    But then again, they aint thay big, and he aint that handsome.

Anyone have a set list for this show?
 
 I thought the show was excellent, but I agree with most of the comments that there was something lacking... I put the blame on both the audience and Jack. The audience was way too apathetic. I think it's the college crowd. They'll attend any concert on campus because it's convenient, not necessarily because they are a real fan of the performer. Plus they have nothing better to do than get in line, so they got all the spots nearest the stage. Someone else mentioned that there were a lot of young, first-time concert-goers, and I have to agree. At the same time, I think Jack could have done more to get the audience going. He barely acknowledged the crowd until the final song, and he and Meg often didn't give the audience time to even applaud before going into the next song. That said, I enjoyed the heck out of it, and there were definitely some fans there that were just as excited as I was, but a lot of people were just standing around.

Is this the Detroit Cobras mystery celeb that you saw being photographed?

Last night I took my daughter to the Wiggles and it hit me that he might be the guy, but I didn't get a good long look at him at IOTA.
 
 Kosmo, does this look like the guy you saw being photographed?

i only got a good look at him from the side, but i think you may be right on the id.  according to wiggles website he's 6 foot 3 which fits as well.

I wish i'd put all together when i was at iota.  I guess i didn't recognize him without his guitar and singing "Fruit salad, Yummy yummy".  I would have told him I was taking my daughter to their show!
