Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

^ get there early..kinda hard to find parking these days

Thanks. Took Metro anyway and glad I did. Didn't see any available parking from the bus, plus Metrorail/bus is really convenient for that place.

How was OPN?

[Justin Tonation]

Fantastic sounds and visuals. Good and loud. But for OPN probably just another gig.

Damien Jurado @ DC9 this Sunday is now sold out??! Did he suddenly become cool somehow after all these years?

[Vas Deferens]

maybe because of NPR?

[James Ford]

I've always found him kind of boring....seen him twice....but his new album is a good listen.

That Sweetlife lineup is weak-sauce even by Sweetlife's second-tier standards.

[K8teebug]

That lineup makes me feel old.  I don't know 1/2 of them.

What is the line-up?

[K8teebug]

Is the Aimee Mann/Ted Leo album out yet?  Just wondering if I missed its release.

Motley Crue
w/Alice Cooper
Bristow
8-22

8/22 is a friday.  getting to the venue will be a nightmare (ok, a bigger nightmare than usual).  i would consider going to this show if it was at any other venue, but no show is worth the aggravation of getting to the Lube on a summer friday evening.  folks who do go should leave downtown before 2 pm.

There's no way you'd go through that aggrivation for a purely ironic viewing experience.  The only true way to experience that show is in the parking lot of the Allentown Faire.

This is just not correct man... I mean have you gone the past 3-4 years? I always get there in an hour or so...the last time I left DC at 4 and got there a bit past 5..way way too early

you may not be aware they added another exit off the highway about five years ago?

I mean I am not a fan of jiffy lube or nissan or whatever but I keep seeing people spout this shit out which is based on bad experiences a long time ago

unless you're going to a sold out show or something its just not that bad...but whatever

[K8teebug]

I went to Depeche Mode and got there so early.  There's actually a little state park about a mile away.  My friend and I packed a picnic.  It was really fun! 

We did listen to the last song in the parking lot so we could get moving down the road, but it wasn't terrible at all.
