there is no comparison between MPP and The Lube. MPP is better on every point that i can think of (vibe/aesthetics, access & parking, food and drink choices, lineup, greenery, etc.). i understand how folks in NoVa might prefer the Lube out of convenience (mediocrity can be preferable if it's in your backyard), but put the two venues next to each other and the Lube would be mothballed in no time.
