So does that mean Rhett Miller will be playing there next?  :p

Another mediocre solo album, and I'd say Rhett could garner some attention for a live on penn spot.

no, the most popular band in DC played for free at the Kennedy Center, Nickel Creek, if only it were Nickelback, then Sonick would be happy

but the Kennedy center was ill set up for that many people making it terrible. I am sure people will have a much better time live on Penn.
 
 Hey big bad Bob, are you going to take me there Saturday?

Yes, I'm sure that a bunch of post-collegiate fratboy types stuffed into a small space under the heat of 90 degree weather will be so much more pleasant that the Kennedy Center.

At least you will be able to see the band.
 
 Kennedy center sucks. Its like a massive chintzy coffin. Give me a view of the Hoover building over that everyday.

Did anyone go to this thing last week? It says we can bring blankets and lawn chairs, but is there really grass to crash on? It's hard to tell from the map of the place if the directions of the stage works with that idea. Would rather not stand in the middle of the street.

 Nah, I would just prefer to relax on a nice lawn blanket and make out with my girlfriend in front of all the old people.

This has probably been covered countless times, but does anyone know what time Guided by Voices plays on Saturday?  I'd like to try to make it, but I can't get there until a little later.

Best estimate, based on last week's show and word from someone in GBV's camp, is between 7 and 8.  I'd think closer to 7 just because I think they'll play about an hour, and the Femmes will play 60 - 90 minutes.  Shows over at 10, so counting backwards, puts Femmes on about 8:30.

Thanks a lot.  I think I just may be able to make that.  Anyone else going?
