OK question: How do you car-less folk get to the PC during the week? I was planning on Metroing out to Vienna and catching the GMU shuttle to get to the PC, then on the way home, catching a cab back to Vienna Metro and then getting home. Is this feasible?

[walkonby]

everything except the cab afterwards.  i have never seen any cabs around the venue after a show.  oh wait . . . that's right, the telephone.  my bad.  when i went to gmu, i took the shuttle all the time.  it was nice and comfy and clean.

Thanks. Do they "card" you on the GMU shuttle? Whenever I go to events at AU or in Spring Valley and the weather sucks, I usually take the AU shuttle and the bus drivers don't care I'm not a student.

i think fairfax is the kind of town that wants all your money.  if i'm not correct, i believe i did get carded . . . but good lord that was awhile ago and i smoked pot back then.  even if, it is dirt cheap compared to a cab but make sure you have the schedules versus metro times down and on your way home, you might still have to do the ole, "when do i leave the show with the cab and when does the last train depart vienna?"

but for mars volta, it is worth it.

It just occurred to me that I've seen Soundgarden live at a small club in 1988, and the price was in the single digits. I remember Cornell standing and singing from atop the bar.

Of course, I was there to see the opening act, Living Colour.

how odd . . . this band soundgarden has a habit of having openers better than them.

One of my favorite shows ever was Soundgarden in 1991 with Monster Magnet and Swervedriver as the opening acts.  I wouldn't call those two better than Soundgarden, but they were damn good opening acts. 

Definitely excited about this show, particularly after the recent Chris Cornell tour.
