If you go to the main page (www.930.com) there is a tab on the left for directions.

 Via Metro:
 
 Take the Green Line to the U Street stop. Make sure you walk out on the Vermont Ave. side and NOT 13th street side. The Vermont street side is at the intersection of Vermont, 10th, and U. When you get to the ground level, make a "U" turn and walk to the right (east) along U street to Vermont, and walk up Vermont one block to the club. (If you get out one the 13th street side of the metro stop, it's a much much longer walk...):

my personal preference is to continue down U Street one block past Vermont and turning left on 9th street and walkup on the side of street with the parking garage.  not a real fan of trying to cross 9th near the gas station.

Can't someone just come up with a Bright Eyes bash generator to supply one for every thread, no matter how unrelated, and save you guys the trouble?

I thought it was entirely related since Bright Eyes is playing tonite and tommorrow, and I assume that's who this person is going to see. I find it doubtful they'd ask directions for a show 3 weeks out. And for the record, I don't have anything against Bright Eyes nor did I intend to slight him.

Nice investigatory work. I stand corrected.
 
 The Bright Eyes contingency can substitute "Blake" for "Conor" in my original post.

Yeah, GGW is like our version of a search engine.  I've considered simply asking him to seek out old thread titles for me so I don't have to search page by page (as I try not to start too many new threads on old topics).
 
 GGW, how do you do it, and can you share the technology with the moderators?!?!?!

if she is coming from greenbelt i hope she gets lost and is attacked by a group of homeless people.
