I just don't like Iota - especially when it's really crowded.  No advance tickets and it fills up very quickly, bad sightlines, hard to move around.... and there's no real escape.  There's nowhere to go to get out of the crowd (unless they let you just hang out in the restaurant without eating).   It doesn't help that I'm in MD and it's just really inconvenient for me.   So yeah, I do actually prefer the Backstage.

I know some people love it though.  (shrug)



What's wrong with Iota? Easy parking, shows don't start too late, friendly staff...you'd prefer, what, Backstage?

Tommy Keene
Iota
5/1

dammit - why does this have to be at Iota?  grrrr.

Much as I'd wish it was otherwise, I don't think you'll have a problem getting in for Tommy Keene or even moving around a bit.

You think?   I figured just his friends would be enough to fill the place.   Or at least Bags and all of her friends. :)   I'll have to think about it when the time comes.  Thx.

plus the non-stop chatter and smoke. I guess we're just spoiled in DC, but since the ban went into affect, going to Iota has become a must see band type situation for me...

Yeah, not even the best earplugs out there could save anyone from losing at least some hearing at this show.


My head was pounding for a good couple days after their last BC appearance; afraid to think of how I'll feel after a show in a room half the size.

i saw them at the ottobar last year, or the year before....they were awesome and my ears hurt less than they did after the 930 show a few years back.

  you'll be ok!

I could see Dino Jr. every month for the rest of my life and i would never get sick of it.....now if they'd only start playing songs from their WHOLE catalog. 


did i show you a pic of my new car??

dinosaur jr. should only play music from when j. kicked the band apart.  his musical genius shined fully then and only then.  those other people are back up players.  sebadoh is by far the clearest example of this.

and the fog.  even the fog was better than sebadoh.

If I was a moderator, that would've been a ban-worthy post.
