looks like all lines on metro are experiencing delays this weekend due to single-tracking: http://www.wmata.com/rider_tools/metro_service_status/rail_Bus.cfm? - could be a 2 minute delay, or could be 20.  plan accordingly.

show will definitely be over by 11, so plenty of metro left to take you home (last trains are around or after midnight).  caribou go on around 7:30, RH on stage between 8:30 and 8:45 (typically closer to 8:45).

i'm getting pretty damn excited over here ;D

I'm leaving hella early to make sure I get into DC at a decent time. My only concern is getting back. I'm taking the metro from vienna (or east falls church if the construction is as bad as some on this board have suggested). Are we sure that Caribou are going to be off the stage that early? I've been to shows before where the single opening act have played an hour 15 minute set as opposed to the normal 45 minute set. I'm affraid that RADIOHEAD won't be going on till 9:15, 9:30. Should I be worried about not being able to make a train from Gallery to Metro Center in order to jump on the orange line to make it home?

Caribou was on at 7:30 on the dot in New Jersey both nights.  Radiohead was on about 840-845 and done 11.  Going to be great

well, i'm still in need of 2 tickets.

i'm really not trying to pay much more than face.

I can pull from TM, but those are in 120. would that still be a decent view of everything?

can anyone help a fellow boardie out?

120 won't be bad, but a slightly less angled side-view would obviously be better.  on the upside you'd be up close.  and i won't give away more than saying that they have a unique projection/light system which is pretty good from any angle.

find anything good on CL?

Tried that noodle place it was ok.  Dumplings were a rip off but noodles ok.  About 100 or so in line now for floor ;D

I've been looking on CL for the past couple hours and might have found some nice stuff, I'm just waiting to hear back. I'm playing the negotiating game with some of these scumbags, but I know my limits. And I'm very patient ;)

Worse comes to worse, my friend and I will just find something outside the venue before the show.

Definitely a good show.  I have a few complaints--no "How to Disappear Completely," still don't understand why they're playing "Meeting in the Aisle" over so many other great and undervalued B-sides, the second encore was almost too dreamy and low-key--but, in general, had a great time.  I thought "The National Anthem" feat. Queen Elizabeth and "You and Whose Army?" were the highlights of the night.
