I think I will be at that Wovenhand gig as well. Been meaning to check them out for ages.
This one is on the chopping block, not sure if I will go or not, but i do want to.
I haven't been to DC9 since before that sketchy incident where that dude died. The Bats will be my first show back. Yes it will take a band coming all the way from New Zealand to play their first show in DC in God knows how long (somebody told me 1993 with Radiohead and Belly a couple weeks back?) to get me back there.
Still unsure of when i will go back there...
Trying to convince the husband to go to the Roomrunner show on Thursday night.
If you do, say hi! PM me if you are going to go. Roomrunner is always great live, and I really enjoyed this space. Just be forewarned if you have never been, it is probably the closest thing to a "house show" at a "legit venue". Ill just leave it at that. I like shows/spaces like that, but not everyone does (no sound guy (sound is still good though), no stage (band plays at same level as crowd), and no backstage area (so if you want you can easily hang with the bands)).
