Rock and Roll Hotel

Be sure to pack heat (semiautomatic preferred)

You know, I decided to pop over there tonight to catch Washington Social Club, and it turns out it's a pretty cool place.  I caught this weird old 930 vibe from the downstairs room.  No smell, no pillar blocking the stage, but there was something very familiar about it all.  And that was even before I got upstairs and saw the old DC punk scene flyers lining the wall in the corridor to the bathroom, much like one used to find at dc space.  To the people who have put this place together, I say nicely done.

I went last night to see WSC as well.  The place has a really cool vibe.  Sound needs some work.  But overall, an interesting space.  I don't know how much I'll be able to go down there as its pretty inaccessible, but I definitely liked it.

Graaace, were you the Krispy Kreme girl with the knife through her head?

[kookiemnstr8]

Hahah, no, but I was a fan of her costume.  I was supposed to be a fairy but left my wings at home.  I had a bright red peacoat and a gray taffeta skirt on and a wand.  I hope you had a costume!

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Ah I remember you!  No I did not have a costume, alas, except for an orange light hung from my neck, courtesy of the house...

Adults who take Halloween seriously are gauche.

I beg your pardon?

 halloween is hands-down the best holiday of the year, if only because people feel free to wear things that they wouldn't the other 364 days.

LOLOLOL.
 
 This is coming from someone who plays with dolls!
 
 Personally, I think we should have some kind of costume party at least twice a year. I think they are a blast. What's even better is when someone goes in costume at odd times of the year since everyone knows you may only be in costume around this time of year. It's so much better when you can't place an excuse to the outfit.

Ah I came so close to having a Forum encounter!
 Did you get any pictures?

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

That's too bad, that would've been cool!  I did, but I used my cameraphone, so they are, how do I put it?  Impressionistic.  Anyway, here.

These H St NE venues sound cool, but there's one thing I don't get. Does DC gov't want more people driving drunk and over longer distances?  Otherwise why not allow rock venues in the side of town where rock venue patrons live?  Heck if I'm gonna take a taxi that far

The problem is getting home.  Some friends went to RnR on Saturday night, and waited an hour for a cab end of the night.  That's a problem.  I'm counting on driving whenever I go, meaning no drinks which isn't so great for the bars.
