My first show ever in Washington this Sunday (Spiritualized)!

About driving there from Baltimore (and arriving at show time 7:30),
how much time one should add in order to find parking and deal with
traffic (in addition to the 45 minutes Google-map time). I guess this
might be smooth on a Sunday, but how about weekdays? Any special
tricks?

Worst case scenario, pay to park... might save you a bit a stress if you've never driven into DC/around the club.

However, you should have no issue finding a place to park within a few block radius.

Also, be aware that Spiritualized prob. won't come on until 9pm or later, so you'll have more than enough time unless you're trying to catch the opener.

Does anyone know anything about this Spiritualized tour?  Are they still touring the last record, will they have the backup singers with them etc?

Sound check from four weeks ago says so... however, this was overseas.

I'm sure this has been discussed before
Does anyone know what the service charge is for tickets at the Ust music hall if you buy them at the door/box office ahee
I went to get The Fratellis tix and they were reasonably priced at $16, but I had to add another 13.50 in order processing and service fee

Tonight will be my first Spiritualized show.  :)

It is interesting how, considering their last few years' of set lists in general, Jason Pierce does not give a shit many people claim to regard Amazing Grace as mediocre, his creative nadir, etc.  Which is fine by me because I enjoy it a lot myself, particularly "Lord Let It Rain on Me" and "Rated X."

at this juncture X/Blondie, Deadman/Tommy Keene
btw, how long do you think the sets will be? Still an 8/815 then 9 start/stop?
I'm hoping to get home semi early and Blondie's sets seem to be about 20 songs but X might be about 24. (sorry I know I'm lame just long days and commute and early starts for me lately)

Hopscotch was the best festival i have attended.  I will write up my thoughts on it later.

as for Spiritualized, Vas really enjoyed the 100 minute set.  Az and myself skipped it to do other things (I am not a fan, dont really know their music, and he was going to the show tonight anyways).

I would guess if Jaguar would read this she would be mightily surprised i didnt see them,... I did see around 25 other artists though.

Friday - Tommy Keene early show, and then the Black Cat Anniversary Show(?)
Saturday/Sunday - Day 2 and 3 of Riotfest in Chicago (85% chance)
