According to an email received by Doctor Doom (http://www.alex.to/alt.dc.music/home.html) from the owner of DC9, this Thursday is the official opening for the bar, with a "free drinks" happy hour from 8 - 11 pm.
Drinks before The National??
If you've been keeping up on the board, I love this space. Bless DC9 and the new venue for new music (read the email and you will love these guys...their hearts are in the right place, a la bringing a new venue to DC...)
-
Yay DC9! I second Bags feeling on the new venue. And I know another of the owners, and they all seem genuine in trying to make it a cool new venue to listen to music. I'm very excited to have it the city.
-
I received an invite from the proprietor, who used to promote for the Exit Bar. I thought the official opening was last week? No matter, I hope to check it out soon! (Matt Dunn should be spinning his Desperate party on Thursday).

Free drinks???? They do realize Lulu lives in DC don't they?

AND Markie, though it will be interesting to see how free drinks affect the "dry during the week" status....
-
free drinks..................
yaaaaaaaaay
i love that place..........it's the best bar ever..............
until velvet longe has their free booze night...........or sadsack hands out the free tickets at the back bar again.........
-
I went to the other grand opening and had a great time.
-
After the day I had yesterday, I could use a few free drinks.
-
does anyone know if DC9 is 21 and over.
I have a friend who want to come tonight, but not drink.
is that possible?

I believe it is 21 and up
-
How are you all planning on hitting an 8pm happy hour and the 8:15 The National show?? Any tips? God, I'd love to do both...
-
I'm not getting to DC9 at 8:00 -- I'm going to The National, hitting DC9 when they're off, and getting back to 9:30 for The Walkmen at 10:15... At least, that's my plan as of now.
-
I've never tried to leave and reenter a 9.30 show before-- do they let you? I always fear reentry policies.
-
So you're missing Weird War? I saw them open for Ted Leo and they're great fun. It's hard to tell if they're being serious or not, but they're really 70's. The singer spends a lot of time philosophizing ("Man, what if, like, time was money and money really was time?") and stops singing in the middle of songs to say "I love this music!" I wouldn't miss 'em...
-
That's why you get stamped. I've gone in and out, because I've been waiting or looking for friends outside.
If it's not allowed, I'm skippin' DC9. I'll be there plenty, so no worries.
-
Who went, and what was it like??? I stayed in 9.30 for Weird War, who was in fine form last night.
"I like this music!"
That is, of course, except for those annoying frat boys up front. what the hell was their deal?

They were probably having a good time.

I decided to stay and give Weird War another chance. I hated them at the Ted Leo show. I thought they were pretty good last night. I wouldn't go out of my way to see them, but if they're opening for someone, I'd check them out again.
-
The National were very good, Weird War was great fun, and the Walkmen......oh, *sigh* the Walkmen. I guess it just wasn't their night. I kind of felt bad for them. But not so bad that I felt any compunction about leaving halfway through their set.
-
When you all speak of "annoying frat boys", how do you know the people you're referring to are in fraternities. Do they all have Greek-lettered sweatshirts on?
And how many fraternity members do you personally know? Do you know enough of them to stereotype every last one of them the way you seem to do?
-
They may not have been in a fraternity, but they were definitely in a "crew" or a "posse."
Thirsty nabbed their secret hand sign.

Try Georgetown, or any given sports bar for that matter, and you'll see they are all tarred with the same brush....the annoying wanker brush.
-
So, did *anyone* go to DC9??
btw-- props to The Walkmen for touring with the world's most rickety piano. I could just see the ghost of some dead grandmother rise from it as it was played...

I was wondering the same thing, maybe all the people that are annoyed by frat boys were actually frat boys when they were younger and just miss their "Glory Days".

Or maybe those defending frat boys are ex-frat boys who refuse to grow up.

I was there! It was tons of fun and I loved every moment. Great to see a crowd there, and lovely seeing Bags again! :)

What a wonderful place...Although, I am regretting a few of those free beers right now.
Get more music in the jukebox and you are damn near perfection.
Bravo to the owner.

I dont think we were defending them, just wanted to know how you knew they were frat boys. I know i couldnt pick one out by just looking at them. But i guess from experience of being a frat boy you guys can. :cool:

DC-9 was great last night... Bagster, nice to see you and nice to meet your friends. Nice to see you too Medusa! That place is definitely a keeper as a regular hangout... although I'm sure the free drinks won't last indefinitely :(
oh, ps, as far as frat boys go -- bottom line is that anyone who goes to college and has to join a frat in order to have a social life is most likely a loser! You don't really need to know many of them to figure that out. Even the ones who were relatively OK were that way in spite of their fratboy status, not because of it.

What about clubs like African-American Student Associations, or Gay and Lesbian Student Alliances, or College radio stations, or...the list goes on an on.
I'm far from a frat boy type, and I was never the type to join clubs (but then again I was always more of a loner anyway). But I don't see why joining a club where you feel in synch with some of the other members makes you a loser.

I went to DC9 after the shows.
I missed the free drinks but still managed to pay for a couple I really did not need at that hour.
I dig the selections in the jukebox.

A HA! Medusa, I didn't realize *you* were Medusa! I passed on the word on the Blue Room Strangeways night Sunday...hope it worked out with a big crowd and lots of fun.
I had a blast at DC9 -- way more fun than I should be having on a thursday night. I wanted to at least check out the Walkmen, but there was actual *dancing*, and songs I wanted to find out the info on -- that never happens for me at DJ things. Although, suddenly there seem to be quite a few around, and I'm really enjoying it. Yeah Medusa, Trickster, the DC9 owners and crew, and the 9:30 club forum for passing the word around. (I just got back from Key West; I'm all full of love and...tequila remnants....).
