A couple years ago they were one of 3 bands that I was thinking I'd like to see get together and tour again. I'd think of going, but I'm not going to break my neck over it. I've never been to Echostage, but I hear it's a pain to park there, and I gather it's not near metro. And at least I've seen them once, way back when, at the Bayou.
for the record, it's really not that hard to get to?
a block off of NY Ave on Bladensburg road
no metro right there
but from their site:
Free shuttle will be provided to and from the New York Avenue Metro stop (Red Line).
Pickup is at M Street side of the NoMa Metro stop.
Last shuttle to the metro leaves at 2:30am on weekend (fri-sat) night shows.
also, I found parking fairly easy
But as the guy at the Capitol ballroom once told me
'over here, it's park and pay. over there, it's park and pray'
Don't think I've ever owned a car less than 7 years old, so I don't mind praying
