Sleater-Kinney roll call

[chokeychicken]

I wasn't at the show last night, and I just read about the cancellation on craigslist this morning, and was very surprised.  
 
 I just wanted to say that by the sound of it, 930 was put in a very tight situation ,and they took care of it in an efficient, timely, and mature manner.  The fact that they not only evacuated a sold out club in a timely fashion, but then had the sheer respect for their customers to update them on the situation extensively within 12 hours is just awesome.  
 
 Many props to everybody invovled, and I just wanted to say that this is just another reason why we're really lucky to have the club, guys.  It's one of the best in the country, for this reason and many others.  I know many other clubs that wouldn't have handled the situation this well.

Miss Fortune you're talking about the first LF in 2000 right?  

Thats the one.

Since I complained before, I want to say that I'm REALLY happy about this turn of events, and it didn't occur to me they might honor the ticket stubs (which I am very glad to say I kept). I think I can even make it into DC for Thursday night.
 
 BUT... can somebody from the club just say again why we can hope that the same thing won't happen on Thursday? It *is* scheduled to be that hot, and I don't understand how you can change the physical transfomer/power supply that quickly.

A massive diesel powered generator has already been rented and is powering the club.

"A massive diesel powered generator has already been rented and is powering the club."
 
 That answers my question. Great work, guys! (Just keep it fueled!!!)
 
 I agree with others. It was incredibly frustrating to have the show canceled, but the club handled the situation outstandingly and the evacuation went quite well, considering. I admit I was one of the laggards and took enough time to finish my beer, but I didn't understand the hazard issue from the burning fumes at the time.
 
 The crowd deserves a lot of credit for not doing anything stupid.
 
 And it is great news that S-K will be back tomorrow. Thursday night temperatures may be a little cooler, but there could be thunderstorms around. But on diesel power, even if lightning strikes and blacks out Pepco, so what. Just keep that generator happy.

mine as well!    

[RebekahNH]

Can someone from the club give an idea of what to do if we don't have our ticket stubs.  I think I dropped mine as the club was being activated.  I paid by credit card, if that makes any difference.

Really? I mean is that the world we live in now? You have to give people credit for not doing things they aren't supposed to do to begin with?
 
 This is why my eight-year old and I can't see eye to eye on so many things. It's because he thinks that rather than being upset with him for not making his bed I should just be happy that he didn't color on the wall.

[K8teebug]

Thanks for all the information!  I'm really glad I'll be able to make it to the show.
 
 You all handled it really well.

 Chick #2: Yeah....they're bombing random villages and stuff.

If that's true - it's great! :laugh:

From the Sleater-Kinney FAQ thread at the top of the forum page:
 
 "If you have further questions please call the box office @ 202-265-0930."
