Reportedly, this has been moved to the "Black Box."
 
 Perhaps Senor Hoya could offer some specifics about that site.

the Black Box is in the Davis Performing Arts Center, which wasn't around way back when I was on the main campus.

I don't think that is right.  Per this FAQ, it sounds like the Black Box pre-dates the Davis Center and, since it's called the "Walsh" Black Box, I'm thinking it's over by the Car Barn.

interesting ... the black box was always over there in Walsh (the building across from wisey's on 36th), i guess i assumed they consolidated everything into the new theater place when it opened
 
 have i mentioned how much i wish the law school was on the main campus?  the beautiful vistas of 395 over here aren't really doing it for me

The Black Box is still in Walsh, on 36th St. between N and Prospect.  When you enter the building, it's down the small set of stairs immediately to the right.  It's very tiny; I can't imagine more than 200 people or so fitting there, although in fairness, I'm a terrible judge of those things.  As far as the BYOB issue, I'm not sure what the policy will be about carry-ins, but there is certainly nowhere there to buy alcohol.

I want to go to this, but haven't paid any attention.
 
 How do I get tickets, blah blah.
 
 THANKS

 What Rocks - Spring Music Festival: The Wrens & Sondre Lerche
 Yes, thatâ??s right. In case Georgetown Day & champagne on the lawn isnâ??t enough: with the help of GPB, WGTB is holding itâ??s first ever What Rocks: Spring Music Festival â?? a full weekend of music on the hilltop. We will be graced with the presence of the indie-rock veterans, The Wrens, as well as the thoroughly charming (and Scandinavian) Sondre Lerche for two fantastic nights of music.

 Fri., 4/27: Georgetown Day DJ Showcase â?? Copley Lawn
 
 Sat., 4/28: The Wrens w/ Murder Mystery
 
 Sun., 4/29: Sondre Lerche

Is this a standing venue?

Why would they book a show at a venue that is no longer standing?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Man, that one was almost as lame as some of mine.
 
 Is this a venue with seats?
