you cant deny that he tries to bury any competing venues...and DC could use them. *cue rising ticket prices argument*

amen
 
 he may be a 'good business man' but again - he's selfish there's no other appropriate word to describe him.  His attitude to be the only one to 'rule the roost' is very apparent.  Another other city council (DC caved under pressure - they are gullable and quite frankly stupid) would have laughed against his opposition - Silver Spring Maryland did just that.

Shyeah, what nerve of a businessman/entrepreneur to try to bolster his business interests in a competitive environment.
 
 Seth is a lot of things, good and bad, but you can't deny the fact that he's a true DC guy, has been on the scene longer than most of the board have been alive, and is more responsible for the caliber of music that comes through town than anyone else. For the size of DC, there are plenty of alternatives, so go ahead and make your stand and don't attend his shows.
 
 Giles, you seem like an angry man. Keep exploring that and see what you get.

 I didn't get one this week or last week.

I haven't seen one hit my account in over a month. I signed up with my other email and nada.
 Asked Mr. Eddie, but no reply.

no, what I'm angry about is that for a city that seems to be 'internationally attune' and should be a stop for UK/international bands those band promoters bypass DC the first time around since a) the 9:30 is very picky who they will book or not book, another venue would have taken that chance.  Buzz should have a venue with an actual stage and we could have seen Simian Mobile Disco last year.  It took two Baltimore Hot Chip shows before DC got a proper in town show. I'm just pissed that the tour dates for many UK bands doesn't include DC as often as it should - another venue would have filled in that gap - yet Seth and co.  don't go the extra 100% or even allow a competing venue the chance.  Thankfully the Rock and Roll Hotel is willing and able to book up and coming new UK bands, the Black Cat's recent inability to book any band of major interest is terribly lacking - although the AUTECHRE and BRITISH SEA POWER show are definately on my must see list.

i wonder if the chances of being flashed by a drunk chick will be higher here than at other live music venues.

 giles is still bitter that seth didn't personally contact him and ask for his input on set times for last night.  seth is such a douche.

You're missing the True Colors tour, Steve Miller Band, and the Taste of Chaos tour.  I wouldn't lose any sleep over it

Maybe they bypass DC because they don't wanna play DC.
