Everything Sweetcell said.


Place is a shithole run by some of the scummiest people in DC. DC9 is tolerable as a venue but run by the same scumbags. If not going to either place means missing a band I like now and again (it's not like there is a shortage of shows on my calendar), so be it.
I also try to steer bands away from Lambert/Hood Booking when I can.
Showlistdc, you probably know as many people as I do who feel as though they have been screwed by them one way or another.

I guess some Republican members of Congress are scummier but it is close.

Yeah, I know quite a few people in bands who were shorted.
I think a lot of it is due to that door polling BS they do. The idea of pitting bands in a who-can-get-more-people-out contest is repulsive to me and causes nothing but friction between bands in the community.

I have also known people who helped them book shows after which they were sketchy with money.

I do, and I hate the door polling, which is why I never give them an answer. I also hate pay-to-play, but if you want to see certain metal bands around here, you've got to go to Empire/Jaxx.  Every club has its issues.

the sound last night at RNR Hotel for EFTERKLANG was great....but maybe because they have their own sound guy? Not sure.

Thanks.  I think I'll skip it.  I really want to see METZ, but I just can't justify going there again, especially if it's going to be a sold out show. 

It's no fun to go to a show and be pissed the whole time because the venue sucks.

If anyone wants to buy a gold badge for SXSW from me, lemme know. I can't go for unexpected medical issue and although they initially said they'd refund, I provided a doc note and now they won't...So if you want to buy, lemme know I can transfer it. Thanks. (I'll be watching on the live streams I guess this year)
