 What's the deal with all the good shows skipping DC and playing Baltimore instead? 
Thanks 
 I am doing my part in getting these shows to DC, I let Lucero know about DC 9 last week, and I try and let artists I want to see know about all the venues in DC, I did the same thing with John Vanderslice, but he ended up going to Baltimore anyway, I was also trying to get Okkervil River to play DC9 but they responded that they will be playing Common Grounds again in Arlington with shearwater soon, of course since I live in walking distance of most of the dc venues these efforts are purely selfish  
 
   I think Lucero has played the Velvet Lounge 3 times in the last year, so they may well be playing there again
