Snailhook (the guy who posted above) is a regular 9:30 forumer. He also happens to be the Scott mentioned in the article, and a promoter in the DC area. One of his little ventures is 611 Florida Ave (mentioned in said article). Does that help?
 

helps me a ton - many thanks.  always learnin'.
 
 cool, nice to see a forumer getting some attention outside the forum.  i'll have to check out the 611 sometime
 
 fyi, the article mentions www.claviusproductions.com but i'm getting a server not found/DNS error.  however,   http://claviusproductions.alkem.org/   works fine.
 
 so, to close the loop: snailhook = callat703??? [/b]

no no, snailhook = snailhook (his board name) = scott
 
 callat703 = on tap editor = chris
 
 and nice catch on the URL; should have been .org not .com - got it fixed.

 that shit needs to happen at 611.
 
 btw to the poster thinking about going to 611 sometime. september 16th is when you want to go.

i didn't quite understand what kind of music they have from the article ... treacly adult-alternative stuff?

Yeah, when will Snaily book Justin Timberlake, unplugged?

he booked Person at warehouse next month which is very timberlake-inspired

costes in november; i'm trying to put him at a venue that doesn't care if piss and shit get all over the place. not my house, man, i got carpet!
 
 i've never been to the deej; most of the acts there seem to be pretty safe and mainstream, though according to their website, they did have eugene chadbourne once, which is totally 611 style. danielle howle has played there like three times and she's pretty good.
 
 upcoming 611 florida shows:
 
 8/29: Larkin Grimm (Secret Eye psych/folk)/Mike Tamburo (Music Fellowship)/Pepi Ginsberg
 9/16: Free Folk Phantsmagory III w/ Little Howlin Wolf/PG Six/Fern Knight/Christina Carter/Max Ochs/Shawn David McMillen/Ilya Monosov & Preston Swirnoff/Lida Husik/Neg-Fi/Kohoutek/Death Chants
 10/13: Ben Owen/Radio Ruido/sc.all
 11/21: Charalambides (Siltbreeze/Kranky)
 12/2: Peter Wright/Antony Milton (both Last visible Dog, New Zealand psych/drone)
 
 if you come to 611 florida, be prepared to hear music that you won't hear anywhere else, some of it beautiful, some of it abrasive and ambiguous.

It's a mix, really. Mostly folk, singer/songwriter, and a little rock. I've seen the Old Ceremony play there a few times - a great band from Chapel Hill with a unique sound they self-describe as "pop-noir." I believe they'll be up this way (Iota) in October. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
