who's gonna be there - I will, weather permitting, and its the perfect opportunity for baby brennser to make her concert attending debut...
-
When is this again, please, not tonight?
-
I am totally planning on being there, likely solo. It's tomorrow Markie, btw.
-
i will be there, swooning at teddy... *sigh* he's so dreamy
-
Planning on it, barring work or weather-related problems...
-
oh man i want to go to that show so much - more so than the show upcoming at the black cat because it's free and outside! - but i have to pick up a friend at the airport who is coming home from vietnam.. so there is no way i can make the show. :( :(
-
I will be there.
-
I'm going and I've never been to Fort Reno before. Could anyone tell me what it's like? Is it more picnic style (do I need to bring a blanket? food?), or will everyone be standing near the stage like at a club show? Thanks!
-
It's an open, grassy field with a stage about 6' off the ground. There's a Whole Foods across the street. I'd definitely recommend bringing a blanket or a jacket to sit on. Some folks do stand near the stage, but most are sitting and chatting with friends, etc.

Fort Reno shows have been described as "like Grog & Tankard, but with mosquitos"
I'm going
-
ummm... and did someone mention alcohol free?
yeah. no drugs, no booze, no glass bottles. that's really important since it would suck to be the person to make the shows lose their permit.
-
so there.
is it ted with or without a band?
-
not sure - have a feeling it may be solo - I don't think I saw this date among the others at the Rx website
-
I will be there.
-
Will potentially be there as well. Just depends on how lazy I get before the end of the day.
-
Maybe.
-
I will be at the free Steve Earle gig. Otherwise, I might have checked this out.
-
There is a chance of me showing up.
-
I am downgrading myself to a maybe, mostly cause I really need to find a new job, and this is a perfect night to bust my ass for 5 hours doing just that.
Anyone know when these shows are over? Is it before 9?
-
The website says the shows are over by 9:30.
-
Are the Evens playing?... went to the discord website... a tad confusing.

I don't want to yell fire in a crowded theater or anything, but Ian's mom passed away the other day so I wouldn't be surprised if the Evens didn't do this show. I also wouldn't be surprised if they did. Just passing that along so those of you going won't be too dissapointed if they don't play.

My condolences to the family.
Mary Anne MacKaye
MacKAYE, MARY ANNE (Age 71)
A fifth-generation Washingtonian and extraordinary practitioner of the largely lost art of correspondence, died June 30, 2004 at her home in the District's Glover Park neighborhood. The former Mary Anne MacKaye grew up in the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast Washington, east of Catholic University. Mrs. MacKaye is survived by her husband, William R. MacKaye, retired associate editor of The Washington Post Magazine and retired editor and chief executive officer of In Trust, Inc., an organization that teaches principles of good governance to the boards and administrators of North American theological schools; five children, Katharine, of Washington, Susannah, of Oakland, CA, Ian, of Washington, Alexander, of Washington and Amanda of Arlington, VA; three daughters-in-law, Kirstin Lindquist, also of Oakland, Amy Farina and Lely Constantinople, both of Washington; and one granddaughter, Ava. A wake began in the family home at 3819 Beecher Street NW shortly after her death and will continue until 5 p.m., Thursday, July 1. Family and friends are invited to call at any time day or night during the wake. A eucharist of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 3 at the Church of St. Stephen and the Incarnation, 1525 Newton Street N.W., followed by burial of a portion of her remains in the churchyard. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Church of St. Stephen and the Incarnation Wendt Plaza Fund.

Indeed.
-
Occassionally they have information speakers, if I'm not mistaken. I'm guessing this is one: Chad Clark speaking on Recording.

Did it happen? Anyone go? I wasn't about to sit through a hail storm for it.
-
yup - it happened - weather turned out perfect in fact -- all we got at Ft Reno was some wind and thunder
The Evens I thought were quite good - Ian dedicated a song to his Mom
Ted Leo was with the Rx and not solo - I thought they were excellent - they seems to be having minor sound problems for the first few songs from their perspective which was weird because I though the sound was amazing for what was essentially a field
nice to bump into kurosawa, redsock and ggw (and winston?) who as far as baby (and daddy) brennser are concerned is the coolest dog in the world!

Hail storm? I went, and it was quite nice, including the weather. The Evens were low-key, as expected, but still good. My very first time seeing Ted Leo. I think I would rather see him in a venue where i could concentrate on him. A lot of his stuff can sound alike live... but at least it sounds good. Nice meeting little Brennser, even if she didn't want to say good-bye to me. Oh, and Wilson the incredibly soft Republican dog as well.
-
hmmmm - out in Silver Spring we had a good hour of heavy rain, hail and thunder up until about 7:00. I figured if nothing else it was raining downtown. Damn.
-
I should add that I left a little after 9 so I don;t know how long he played for
-
Yeah, it was coming down pretty hard around 6:30 -7pm in Takoma Park, too. I thought the power was going to go out for sure. There were flash flood watches in effect.

I thought the Evens were much better - more consistent - than at the Warehouse show. I saw some of Ted Leo, who was great. The sound was really good for a Fort Reno show.
Nice to meet baby Brennser. The soft Republican had a great time and passed out as soon as he got home.
-
missed most of the evens (stupid virginia traffic). ted was awesome. he seems to love being on the stage, even responding to hecklers. love ft reno had a picnic and all. going back monday
