I thought you were quitting after that last packet of Fortuna's!

The timing of this sucks. I put up with cigarette smoke at shows for 20+ years, and the year that I'm planning on effectively retiring from going to clubs is the year they ban smoking. Great. But I guess I should be happy for the rest of the clubgoing DC audience.

You can't play ANY music anymore. Haven't you heard? It's all going news, talk and sports.

  And in related news, the 9:30 Club is looking into ways they can designate the upstairs portion of the club as a "hookah bar".

LOL.

Why the retirement?  Is it cuz you're planning a family?  Just cuz there's litte ones underfoot doesn't mean you never go out again.

You're right. "Extended vacation" from clubgoing would have been the more accurate term. Retirement, probably not.

:p  You actually plan (with actual year) to stop going to shows? You don't head out that often now, really, do you? Why the need for an official going out party?

the DC ticket sales for alterna-country shows just dropped by 50%!!!!!

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I plan to stop going to shows once my wife is pregnant and when we have a small infant at home. When the kid gets older, I reckon we'll begin going to shows again, if it's something we're still interested in.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yep, the 9:30 Club will only be half full the next time Old 97's or Drive By Truckers come to town.
