I was across from this place before the Live on Penn show with TMBG and F.O.W. and we were wondering what the hell was going on -- there were all kinds of HFS signs and banners, definite rocker and roadie types milling about looking important, and from inside I was quite afraid that it was all happening at Hooters. Turns out it's this skate shop/studio, and Evanescence had just played an in-store (with HFS broadcasting from the store).

Power Play
Studio 819
Sunday, August 8, 2004; Page M02
It's a marriage made in alternative heaven: Penn Quarter's Asylum Wake Skate Snow has joined forces with 99.1 HFS to bring Tony Hawk-worthy shopping and live punk jam sessions together in a single tricked-out space. And the performers who've played the TRL-esque Studio 819 are so far no small fry: Evanescence, 311 and New Found Glory have all appeared. In true rock-star fashion, schedules aren't set until a few days before showtime, so check the board outside the store or tune in to the radio for dates and times.
O.A.R. plays Wednesday afternoon. Check www.whfs.com (http://www.whfs.com) or www.asylumwakeskatenow.com (http://www.asylumwakeskatenow.com)

Yeah, I was at RFD last night and wondered what that was across the street. The HFS signs kept me away, though, and now that I see the lineup I'll be staying far, far away.
Or at least across the street.
Eating perogies.

I was at RFD too (when I noticed the place, not last night!)...it's a cool idea, though. While I may not go by any time soon, I like that it's being done.

I can't believe they called 'em "live punk jams".
