Sleater-Kinney roll call

[anarchist]

where was seth in all of this?  is he still in the hamptons?

[esque0]

While I'm not about to climax over how wonderful 930 is (best club in the country?  best place to see live music? c'mon), they did very well taking care of us and rescheduling the show.  
 
 However, I am a little peeved about parking.  I was told yesterday by the club that they'd have a list, but now the official word on the site is that there are no guarantees.  It just doesn't sit right with me to think that I might have paid $10 to park to see the shitty Rogers Sisters.  
 
 Ah well.  In the end, I'm going to blame global warming.

 good luck!

dunno about this one... have a hard time believing the club endorsed this, it's great that the band wants fans to get into an other soldout show but at what point will the club be able determined how many tickets are actually available, not all in person refunds will have been provided, etc...
 
 providing the possibility that people could get in they show up in this heat could lead to a real headache for all of those involved.

You may find larger venues or venues in better neighborhoods. You may have an affinity for a particular club because it's in your home town or you saw the best show of your life there. But here's what you won't find; a better staff, higher quality sound (for the size of the room), a more impressive schedule or more loyal patrons.
 
 So all that combined tells me that 9:30 is hands down the best live music venue in the country. Of course I'm a little bias. After all you may prefer the corporate owned, cookie cutter, no character, no history venues like House of Blues?
 
 To each their own.

Kosmo is correct. Don't count on it. That being said... we are considering releasing a small number of tickets to be sold to the public.

9:30 is certainly very good, but "best live music venue in the country" is a bit hyperbolic.  That "impressive schedule" includes the Wreckers, Teddy Geiger, and Starsailor.  And does the great staff include the guy who didn't show up for parking on Tuesday, or the other guy who covered for him by chatting on his phone and ignoring people?  
 
 Every venue has its weaknesses.  9:30 may have fewer than most (schedule and location are the only big ones).  But to think it's the best of all the thousands of clubs in the country is a big stretch.  
 
 Anyway, all that really matters to me right now is that rescheduling s-k so quickly is a Good Thing.

Good thing your opinion is in the vast minority. Oh and I guess all those industry awards for "Best Live Music Venue" were just so we could keep stroking our own egos?

Totally unrelated question:
 At Tuesday's set by the Rogers Sisters, we were wondering if there was anything out of the ordinary about the female singer's legs. I don't mean to sound sleazy, but from where we were, it looked like she either had weird tattoos or scars, or if it was just the light and shadows. It was bugging us the whole time and we're still debating it. Was anyone close enough to shed some light on this very important topic?

No, you've made it clear you can stroke your ego very well on your own, Cap'n Sardonic.  I'm fine with being in the minority.  
 
 Anyway, we're arguing about whether 9:30 is merely "very good" or "the best," which wasn't what I wanted to get into with my original post.  Let's just agree that it's the best in DC.  I was just pointing out that the parking situation has been the weak point in a great overall effort.
