So which Sleater Kinney member would y'all most want to sleep with?

[bearman🐻]

None of them, but one of their roadies last year was pretty damn hot. Hopefully he'll be there tonight.

[Rupert Pupkin]

I'm excited for the show, but i'm sad that this is the end of them in DC. btw, i'd sleep with all three of them.

[Dr. Anton Phibes]

Show & webcast cancelled?? What the f*ck???

[jamh]

From what I heard, it was something to do with the electricity, they were going to let the show go on, but then changed their minds and evacuated the building.

having been inside and come from far away to see this, and spent much $$ i didn't have to get there, AND noticing they never even mentioned refunds, I have to say that what I heard was basically, the Fire Marshall decided that the club is not capable of hosting a sold-out show. Either (a) ever, or (b) when it's this hot, in which case, thank you global warming for ruining even this little concert!!!
 
 honestly this was one of the more disappointing experiences of my life.       it might sound like a lot, but if you knew the day, week, month, & year I've been having.. well.. let's just say this was to have been a long-planned moment of celebration in a season without many... "overheated transformer" so they better not schedule the next one when it's going to be hot, meaning in the summer, meaning... GRRR

[gocaps]

Well, I just hope that they a) reschedule, and b) reschedule on a day when I can go.  Marching out of that club tonight was really disappointing.

[anarchist]

i can see canceling the show but why did they have to cancel the webcast?

[kosmo vinyl]

I didn't get into the club as the show was called off right when arriving there... Bumped into someone who said they were trying to reschedule which is why no refunds were offered right away.  
 
 Pure speculation on my part, but seeing as SK have an open date after NYC before lollapalooza on Friday they could reschedule then.... or even come back the beginning of next week.
 
 I'm sure an official club annoucement regarding why the show was cancelled will be offered here, the 9:30 club is very good in that regard...
 
 Yup a disappointing situation to be involved with, but I doubt Sleater-Kinney and the club will let down their fans if at all possible.

[GFriday]

I guess my question would be: How will they keep the  transformer from overheating on the second go-round, if and when?
 
 I was at a Yo La Tengo show 5-6 years ago that got shut down this way; I can't even remember what happened regarding refunds/rescheduling.
 
 FYI, open nights for both the club and S-K include this coming Thursday, Monday and Tuesday.

[Chip Chanko]

As long as it's before next wed. They let us in right before they let us out.

[laggyElf]

the ticket cost was a small fraction of my cost in coming here, but since they are GA, how can they give refunds? There arne't even records for any but (some of) the ticket *purchasers*, who aren't the same as the ticket holders anyway, in 50% or more of the cases.
 
 S-K message board says a small fire happened outside, but if so, the Fire Dept & police were there well before that. I saw evidence they were never going to let this show happen at all (even wondering whether to let us in during Rogers Sisters), & since they don't give refunds, why in the world would I purchase a ticket for the next-go-around, if I were #(*&@#($&* lucky enough to get in fast enough to buy one? What's to stop the same thing from happeneing again?

[kosmo vinyl]

I'm going to defer until the 9:30 staff have the matter sorted out, no sense in speculating what might take place.

[meagris]

Knowing that S-K is going on "indefinite hiaitus" we were bitterly disappointed to get kicked out just before they should have gone on for their set. Let's face it, 100 degree temperatures in DC are very unusual and they could cause electricsl problems. In fact, before opening act The Rogers Sisters' set, the club  did annouce that PEPCO (the electrical utility) needed someone to move a bike that was chained to a grate right outside the club so they could deal with an issue. I had a bad feeling. The only saving grace was that The Rogers Sisters did a good set. But if S-K doesn't come back and do their show at a time we can make, we will cry and be very angry...
