Okay, neighborhood gentrification discussion aside, any idea how IMP is going to sell Lincoln Theatre shows? As it's a seated venue, will it still be GA, or sold by seat? Just wondering...I may be checking out one of those singer-songwriter types.
PS, this "theatre" instead of theater bugs the shit out of me. And I think nearly every theater in DC does it. Get over....

it is theatre . . . so you get over it. theatre demands respect, damn you. you hear me . . . fucking respect. they were there for us long before this over produced bullshit called theater entertainment nowadays. they burned the candles on our faces keeping the dreams alive through wars and depressions and scandals and deaths. they are our heritage and they are our greatest creative invention next to music itself. and you will sit, and you will enjoy it in the theatre.

Depends if its a "balck act" or not.

I can't take the credit.. I think they realized they had made a serious mistake and placed a quick call.. can't blame them.

I don't think they think they made a mistake. I assume they thought it was a distraction that they didn't need. Booking people because of their race isn't a good idea IMHO.

Hilarious. Anyway why doesn't the City Paper write an article about Howard never books any country bands and that makes them racist.

You'd have to ask them I suppose? How would I know? Am I like a spokesperson for the frickin' Howard? I've been there twice in my life! I know they book a lot of white ,black, hispanic and now ethiopian acts...that's about it.

How is the view from the front rows of orchestra left and right?
perfectly fine unless you like to make eye contact with the performer.

How about the sound?

How about the sound?
perfectly fine unless it's a hip hop act.

So, to summarize, the seats are good unless its a hip-hop artist with whom I want to make eye contact?

That is an easy fix - turn down the bass.

Yeah, my concern is really just getting two seats. If I was solo I wouldn't care, but the last time I went (over a year ago) I just stood in the back as there were no seats left. I also showed up about a minute before the show.

If you arrive 60 minutes before show time, you'll be OK getting two seats together in the orchestra sides or even center in the back.

wow, I have never been to the Lincoln without assigned seats. I show up during the start of opener and its so hard to find your seat with the lights down low, but the nice people who work there are great and they use their flashlights, like yoda in empire strikes back, to show you the way.
