As much as I'm into avant-garde and indie nowadays, I have yet to hear it either. In 1998 I was still a classical buyer for Tower. I listened to WRNR instead of HFS (RNR's slide was accelerating, HFS was already unlistenable yet, surprisingly, not at its nadir). Of course, HFS ignored it, too. I don't remember the kids talking about it. And looking at Wikipedia's 1998 in music article, it doesn't appear that I missed much else.

I never went goo goo ga ga for Neutral Milk Hotel and I saw them once in the 90's.  They were eh

it'll be fast, but doubtful as fast as b'more.  that show was something of a one-off, people from DC and philly traveled for it.  the upcoming DC show is part of a tour, it's one of many... no need to travel.

Not sure as to how many the Lincoln holds. You are probably right, though seeing as they clearly capped attendance at the church so that it would not be hard to move in there.
