does this event have a website?  the only info i've come across is on the BC's website:
 
 Run For Cover 6
 For the sixth year in a row, a handful of DC's rock & rollers unite for a night of tribute and parody. As usual, makeshift bands take the stage to play other people's tunes. But by "makeshift" we don't mean "half-ass."
 
 If past years' sold-out Mainstage shows have been any indication, these bands are good. They've spent months preparing for what has become the Event of the Summer. And - oh yeah - this is gonna be your only chance to catch these single-performance groups.
 
 This year's lineup includes performances by Abbatite for Destruction, Revelation 88, Serious Moonlight, American Psychos, Don't Fear the Reefer, and much more.
 
 Last but not least...the best part of the whole thing? In true DC spirit, the event is always a benefit; this year's proceeds go to Fort Reno.

Are you sure this isn't ABBA?

Oh, good call.  Maybe ABBA songs done in a GNR style?  Or vice versa?

Couldn't the American Psycho's be playing songs referenced in the movie? Which would give you your Genesis or Phil Collins coverage. Maybe some Huey Lewis too...

Speaking of which...anyone definitely in?  I should be there.  And tigers scare me, is there any chance I could provide Jesus and the Lizards with a set list for them to learn by Saturday?  I've got a few choice cuts I'd like them to play   :D

Oof...I had blocked all shots of the Tight & Shiny from my brain.  I think it would be best for everyone involved if that gimmick stays retired.  
 
 Then again, if they really want to sell it...  :eek:

If anyone is going and sees a lonely man wearing a red Ween shirt with a pentagram on the front, feel free to say hi.  
 
 tigers, if I see anyone freaking out about testicles, I'll assume it's you and will buy you a drink.
