I went directly to Ticketmaster, and at 10 a.m. the site went live for tickets with the password from the SP website.  I did notice that the link on the SP website never went live,  but I assumed it would a TM link.

Sep 25 - Washington DC, Constitution Hall  - Pre sale begins Thursday 9th July at 10am EDT


How did u get in Bags?

[Bags]

You did better than I -- I pulled section F or some crap initially, near the back.  A few tries later I got Orch EE.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I pulled Orch AA and thought it was front row until I checked the seating chart. The best I could get was Orch N.

I was wondering what happened with this. Thanks for the update. I'm glad I didn't bother with it.

Wanna know how this played out?

It was put on by a bunch of kids who bit off way more than they could chew. They misrepresented this festival as a bunch of art installations with a little bit of music on the side while they acquired the permits; needless to say, the shit hit the fan. They were shut down on the second day of the festival after neighbors complained and everyone who attended was kicked out by police who raided the site. Artists still remain unpaid and patrons most likely will not see refunds. The promoters are putting forth a joke of an attempt at a suit against Frederick County (hah!) at which a judge will undoubtedly laugh hysterically as he/she throws both the kids and the suit out of his/her courtroom.

Their "official statement" is good for a laugh or seven.

funny: the average person who is interested in this show doesn't have anywhere near the attention span required to do anything with this information

Ixkpd-bk and I caught about 15 minutes of his last set there. Everything about that show was repulsive from his subpar djing to his selections to the douchy crowd to the thick dank odor (smelled like a mixture of ass and hair jell) coming out of the main room once those doors were swung open.

I think you answered your own question. People that go to hear him don't have the attention span to remember. ... wait ... what we talking about?

from Spin.com

Alt-rock kingpins the Pixies will make their live return to the U.S. this fall!

Frontman Frank Black tells SPIN.com that the Boston-born quartet will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking release, Doolittle, by playing the album in its entirety in Oakland, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, New York City, and "maybe Montreal" this fall.

"I believe we're doing the Wang Center in Boston," he says of his hometown gig at the 3,600-capacity venue.

Exact dates have yet to be confirmed. The U.S. tour is expected to follow a run of Doolittle shows in Europe scheduled for October.
