Title: Photos of the old (original) 9:30 Club?
Post by: freakoretardo on May 07, 2009, 03:35:03 pm: Hey there,

Im having no luck finding photos of the original club on 930 F St. Would love to collect an archive of any and all images existing of the inside/outside of the club. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to post them here (unless thats not cool)

Thanks

FR

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://930fstreet.com
I don't know if any of the links are active (I only looked through the first few)

If you can find the documentary online you can create stills, I guess? (don't forget your credits;))
what is said documentary? (http://blogcritics.org/music/article/documentary-930-f-street)

Or try researching a little more creatively. Don't keep to only those images online -- library - books, just a thought. Two titles and you can research more:
Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital
Banned in DC: Photos and Anecdotes from the DC Punk Underground (79-85)

Historic Bldgs survey (http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=pphhphoto&fileName=dc/dc0600/dc0636/photos/browse.db&action=browse&recNum=0&title2=Atlantic%20Building,%20930%20F%20Street,%20Northwest,%20Washington,%20District%20of%20Columbia,%20DC&displayType=1&itemLink=r?pp/PPALL:@field(NUMBER+@(dc0636)))

I wish I had taken pictures the last time I was there a week before closing...the "couches", the pole and trying to see around it to view the lead singer of one of my favorite college bands.

Wow. The one of the building down the street is gorgeous.

I searched "crowd outside 930 f street" which resulted: http://www.punksnotdeadthemovie.com/news.html
and http://www.monicarichards.com/musings/punkrock.html

The keywords that returned the above gems: "930 f street 1980s" (or use 1990s).
