because not everyone on the board lives in the DC area, and some of us do go to shows at the NorVa from time to time.

exactly. we've been posting shows to NorVA, Charlottesville and Richmond for some time...I promote  in this area for shows throughout DC/VA/MD even sometimes those in DE. People commute to shows all the time. It's not pushing it to post outside metro in MD/VA shows...NY, PA, etc., yes. I like to know who's performing closeby -- plus, it helps my vision and Sethy wish list abilities to see where other shows are at. I'd rather read VA show announcement/commentary than other minor comments in this thread. I make side comments at times too, but complaining about NorVA announcements instead is silly. If they weren't posted what else would be in this thread? I was 15 pages behind and probably only read three show announcements which I already knew about.

The Norva is 3 hours, 15 minutes (195 miles) from the 9:30 Club. Should we post any show within 200 miles of the 9:30 Club?

Let us try again.

Plenty of threads for non-DC area shows... here is one:

Just use them guys.  I mean what is the problem??? Just use a different thread!  You'll still have your shows announced! If you don't like the above thread make a new one! Look in the archives for a different one..It will actually be better for you.. if you're interested in Norfolk or Richmond shows you won't have to wade through the DC shows! You'll know when you open the appropriate thread that the shows are ones you'll be more interested in.

I think the regular Just Announced thread is fine for Baltimore shows.. after all its only like 40 miles away.. but come on! Norfolk? Even Richmond shouldn't be on this thread. Its 110 miles from DC and quite an undertaking to get to a Richmond show from DC with 95 traffic.

The Club whose board we are on is in DC.

Obviously it great to have people from Richmond, Norfolk , San Francisco or wherever on this board but just keep the Just Announced thread for DC area shows. There are many reasons for this.. off the top of my tired head:

1. If you post Norfolk, Richmond, Charlottesville, etc. shows you're crowding out the shows an overwhelming amount of us on this board are interested in.

2. Its deflating to open this thread and see some band we'd like to see only to find out its at the frickin' NORVA.  Just the frickin' gas to get to the Norva makes it unrealistic.. I mean , yeah, let me spend $50 bucks just to get to the show and back???

If the argument is that there aren't enough shows in DC being announced then for pete's sake announce some... DC has 22 pages of shows  in DC area listed on Pollstar... only a tiny fraction have been mentioned on this thread. There isn't a lack of DC shows necessitating we post Norfolk shows on this thread because we aint' got any action in DC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are there a few people- like 4 professional concertgoers? who drive to shows everywhere  and therefore would like them all in this thread? I'm sure but for 99% of us Norfolk is just not realistic.

So 1/19-1/21 is obviously the inauguration block at the Club. Have there been any leaks?

well then why not post shows in philly. It is a lot closer to the Baltimore/DC metro area than Norfolk.  If you are going to start posting Norfolk why not NYC and Boston or even Spain?  All places more likely for me to see a show than Norfolk.

It's in the same state?
