I'm opening from 9:00-10:30, followed by Stereo Faith, then Andy. I'd say come early for me, but really you'll want to come early for the free entry ($10 after 10pm), free booze (Sparks), and free shit from Kill Rock Stars and Merge records. First come first serve on the loot, just come say hi to me in the DJ booth, I have some CD's, promo posters, stickers, etc. Also, I designed the flyer, what do you think?

Sorry, I have a few questions about this place, because I'm debating whether to go stalk Marky Ramone on Saturday. Okay.
1) How good/bad is the area, on a scale of 1-9:30 club?
2) How do they have a pool...isn't it not a real hotel?

I don't think it's too bad, IF you stay on H St. Once you're off that, it gets a bit sketchy. I would say it's comparable to the 9:30/U St area from a few years ago.

I think I saw what you are referring to somewhere, but I didn't really read it. I'm guessing they probably meant "billiards."

So do y'all think this is going to be just insanely crowded? I have no idea how big the RnR is, or the draw of Rourke. I'm assuming it'll bring in a lot of folks, but I've certainly been wrong before.

18+ and free Sparks? You suck.

Yes, it's getting better with time, Fri and Sat are good cause you have lot's of people walking around going to Red & Black, Palace of Wonders, and R&R Hotel. But really no worse than DC9 area. There is a pool table, no pool :) If you see the crazy huge scary looking guy with a shaved head an pony tail he's actually really nice and will walk you to your car.

Since it is a new place it's hard to tell, but we've been advertising Fri and Sat a lot so I think this will be the weekend people finally venture out to check out the club. And once they do they'll want to come back, it really is a nice place, perfect mix of dive and class, friendly staff, great sound/light system, 18+, and good DJ's ;-)
Last week for The Presets/Will Eastman's new party it was not insanely crowded, a good crowd, but def not over-crowded. It's a pretty big place with two floors and lots of different areas so even at capacity it doesn't feel cramped.

i cut my hair off many moons ago, but i did have the shaved head/long ponytail look going for a while. let me tell you, it's not easy to have both at the same time.

It's not surprising that that person seems to be dancing with himself.
-
i have a question! never been there ever. I would love to go checkout andy rourke. I am a college student coming from University of Maryland, which translates to I use the metro. Where is the nearest metro to this place? and how far of a walk is it?
-
union station....over a mile...take a cab or bus from union station.
-
There is a shuttle that runs from the Union Station metro station to H Street which was discussed in this thread (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=013738)

Anybody go? I would have liked to get by, but didn't get a chance...

well, I was there obviosuly, and I had a great time. The crowd was good, people were dancing early, etc. Andy Rourke, while not the best DJ by any means, was one of the coolest celebrity DJ's to grace DC in my opinion - he hung out and talked to people long before and after his sets, didn't mind people coming to see him in the DJ booth, etc. No inflated egos in the room that night. Can't say the same for Sat with a Mr. Ramone. (but still a fun party) Check out the pics here: http://thecale.myphotoalbum.com/ (http://thecale.myphotoalbum.com/)

Don't sell yourself short brother, the ladies love you. I won't tell your wife. You are a DC DJ's best friend, breaking it down on the dancefloor before everyone else.
