 Poison
 Nissan Pavilion, Bristow, VA
 Sun, Jul 29, 2007 07:00 PM (on sale this Friday)
 Special: 4 lawn tickets for $60
 

this just got better - also on the bill: Ratt and White Lion!
 
 the only real issues with Nissan are (a) it's kinda far especially if you're from maryland, and getting to a show there on Friday evenings requires leaving early, and (b) getting out of the parking lot can take up to an hour if you leave along with the masses.  can't do much about (a) except leave early, and (b) can be solved by skipping out before the end of the encore or tail-gaiting after the show.  i supposed one could also raise a "moral" objection to nissan, since it's operated by LiveNation.
 
 otherwise, nissan is a fine venue - good sight lines, good sound system.  it was built specifically for live music.  what sound bad are a most nightclubs, which are in spaces that weren't designed for live music.  then again some people don't like any venue that holds more than 100 people since it's "mainstream"...         at that point i *might* be tempted to go down there. btw - isnt this show a sunday - and if so, it makes your post irrelevant about friday traffic. although sunday traffic through fairfax out that way can be HELL on a weekend with no show. id imagine this would be PAINFUL!

Thanks -- all of the comments about the poor sound give me pause but I'll still probably go nonetheless.  I wonder why they chose DC9 over other venues?

I saw Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, and David Cross at the Birchmere years ago.  it was a good show.

I was at that show. I've actually seen her a couple times at the Birchmere. That seems to be her DC-area venue these days.
