Hey Seth

[hutch]

oh yeah i forgot: its also got great sound
 
 sounds to me like your gripes are due to your mobility issues and not the venue..
 
 maybe its not the right venue for you.
 
 
 but i stand by what i wrote: overall when you consider its a gorgeous national park, they let you bring in food and beer, the prices are subsidized and the sound is great wolftrap can't be beat..

Sounds to me from that story like Wolftrap are a bunch of assholes who don't give a shit about their patrons.
 
 
 But I digress...
 
 
 Edit: Whoops...Just noticed that I made that request a couple pages back.
 
 
 Nothing more to see here.

Haha, I dont think Richard likes the US.
 
 However, his performance at coachella was one of the most brilliant mixes by any DJ I have ever seen. His set was unbelievable.
 
 And please bring MBV to DC!! 2 shows in NYC does not account for a proper east coast tour.

My gripe is with how I am and other are treated  there.  WT indeed is a very pretty venue, but the patrons and the employees are jerks.  The sound is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10 at best.  It is a venue built for the rich snob type of the DC area.  NOTE: I am sure there are many who do there who do not fall into this category and not all people who ahve money are like this. But there is a huge proportion of patrons of WT there who do.  I prefer a venue that is run by people who care about a good show and a safe time for everyone.  I have seen people threatened with being ejected for attempting to go to the bathroom at the wrong time.  I have seen an instance where the crowd was standing to get into the music except for an extremely drunk couple who proceeded to complain to one of the users.  Said usher demanded that the people one row up sit or be ejected.  I have seen a group of three hoity toidy types walk through the black top area behind the crowd while in conversation and not paying attention to where they were going.  The woman in the group ran into and all sut knocked over a young guy who was actually trying to avoid them and one of the men in the group cussed the kid out and threatened to beat his ass while the staff did nothing.  Yeah thats the type of venue I want to be at.
 
 I will drop the issue now. This is a Hey Seth thread nit a Why Does Wolftrap Blow Goats thread.
 
 Sorry for the typos.  I am typing with a couple of broken fingers.

the patrons and people who run wolftrap are not jerks.. just because ratbastard says so don't make it so.. have seen many shows there and people relaxing on the lawn having a picnic are now jerks??? compared to what??? people at the black cat? give me a break..
 
 as far as the sound.. i think ratbastard is showing his ignorance here because wolftrap has incredible acoustics.. its the best outdoor venue in the area BY FAR.. or what?? you prefer nissan or merriweather to wolftrap?
 
 they're jerks for having a shuttle that takes you there from the metro for like 1.50?? i haven't noticed that existing for nissan or merriweather?
 
 so yes its a hey seth thread and it was ratbastard who started this with the asinine comment that wolftrap is a crappy venue... anyone who saw cesaria evora/seu jorge or tony bennett last year or who has ever talked to any of the performers who play there- which i have- such as lyle lovett knows that performers love to play there because the sound is great, the venue is gorgeous and the crowd is very well behaved...
 
 now if someone doesn't like that well thats fine but lets not make idiotic statements ratbastard.
 
 now back to the hey seth.

i mean shit its a friggin national park.. sounds like a pretty cool place to see a show.. next thing you know we'll be writing that red rocks and the gorge blows compared to the velvet lounge. give me a break.

[Seth Hurwitz]

hey

[azaghal1981]

red rocks and the gorge blows compared to the velvet lounge

Velvet books way more acts I like seeing than Wolftrap, RR and the Gorge combined so in that regard...

[hutch]

got it...
 
 I think we can all agree the 930 club is a great venue..
 
 by the way seth great iron maiden show at merriweather.. at first i was worries the pit might be too packed but it was great..and i'm glad the band still had pyro and got people on stage (i had been told that wouldn't happen but thankfully i learned later i hadn't been selected through the maiden fan club anyways)...also i thought the sound was really good...

Just lovely, thank you for asking!

[TheREALHunter]

I heard the Bad Brains will be playing NYC in August...any chance to book them for a show down here as well?

[sweetcell]

hey seth, and twangirl, and anyone else associate with H&LA coming to the club: sincerest, most heart-felt thanks for bringing hercules & love affair to the 930.  i've been wanting to see them for some time now, but they only ever seem to play in europe  (and twice NYC when i can't make it).
 
 thanks guys & gals.  i'm truly grateful.  i'll be dragging as many people as i can to this show, not that it'll have any problems selling.
