Worse still, this year tickets are $7 at the door or $5 in advance. The cool thing about these shows (i.e. Live on Penn, and previously DC Sessions) was always that they were free or pretty close to it.
It seems the only free concert series we got left in DC is
Fort Reno Summer Concert Series. The DC sessions has moved to Merriweather starting July 17th. Last year, All Live On Penn shows were $3. The only way to get those $5 tickets is to go on The Live On Penn website. Not only that, Live On Penn has new sponsors, Toyota and Scion.
As for the schedule:
July 10th: I think I could make that
July 17th: I would go for Nappy Roots
July 24th: I might pass on that
July 31st: I might go, but I made plans to travel to Richmond for the
East Coast Nationals August 7th: I'll be in California
August 14th: I'll go to see 3 out of the 4 bands
August 21st: I might attend, if I can't go on the On Tap Bus Trip.
August 28th: I may check it out.
September 11th: I made plans to be in
Ocean City that weekend, but I could change if there's an act not to be missed.
September 18th: I've attend show where Finger 11 was on the bill, but I missed their performance (Evanescence on September 12, 2003 and Trapt on March 4, 2004). I plan to attend that show if there's any other act that sparks my interest.
