Club's 30th anniversary?

[Here's the thing]

I don't post that often, but read this board every day for the the Just Announced shows and the witty banter. I was looking forward to shaking the hand of a few of you tonight, but it looks like I am going to be home with a fever. (I work in an elementary school, so it comes with the territory.)
I hope this is a fantastic night, and I also hope that someone will post periodically through the evening so I can complain about what I am missing.
Will some other old boardie sing along with Places That Are Gone and Follow You All Over The World for me?

So when are folks going to get there with no setlist up?  I can't get there too early...

[sweetcell]

too bad that some folks are bailing.  we'll get to meet next time, hopefully.

will this result in more tix being available for folks lining up outside?

i'm going to try getting there for 6, since that's when the fun supposedly starts.  i've never heard TDU and wanted to give them a listen but we'll have to see how that turns out.

From Henry Rollins Blog:

Tomorrow morning, I will fly from Portland OR to Dulles International and go to the 9:30 Club in DC to host the 30th anniversary of the club. Many bands will hit stage and do short sets. I will be bringing them on and off stage. I got the list of acts sent to me yesterday but the e-mail said that I am not at liberty to disclose any details, which is odd, you would have thought they would have wanted to get the word out as best they could. The e-mail expressly asks that none of the acts or set times, so I won?t. Should be a good night. I don?t know what one needs to do to get a ticket but it would be worth trying if you are in the area.

ohmigod Yes.  But, I don't think I can get there earlier than 7:30 and am hoping like hell that doesn't mean I'm missing Tommy and the Fleshtones.  That would SUCK, they are two of my fave live acts.

In dc now hot as fuck, still no set times huh

[sweetcell]

looks like an organized meet-up in the backbar won't be possible.

i'll generally be hanging out on the floor* by the cash-only bar (on the right-hand side as you face the stage).  during the early portion of the evening, before it gets too crowded, it should be easy to make your way there.  feel free to come hang out and chat between acts.  me = bright orange atari t-shirt.

* i do not mean "hangout out on the floor" literally.  well, not until 9 or 10 pm, anyway 

[Smylie]

I'll be on the floor towards the right as well.  Bright yellow smiley face shirt.  Here's hoping for a good time and a few surprises

[shemptiness]

Anyone still in need?

[Bags]

I hang over to the left, towards Food Food.  Will be in white and green tee, kind of a green clover pattern on white t-shirt.  Brown pants and comfy shoes for what could be a long evening.

Heya, Shemp - 

<Raises hand> to the "anyone still in need" question.  Silly me, didn't think to check in here on the forum earlier to see if anyone had an extra.  Didn't win the lottery, and am just gonna head down the club in a bit, planning to arrive around 6 in hopes of getting in as someone's +1.

Cheers,
John

[sweetcell]

I hang over to the left

perfect.  at some point, the boardees on my side of the floor will line up and move forward in unison, snapping our fingers to the beat, meet you in the middle of the floor and get all west side story on your ass.

(*sigh*, if only i was that cool...)
