 No matter what you think of their music (and I'm definitely not a fan), take a leaf from Good Charolette's book. They started out playing anywhere they could and look where they are now. For one, it gives you live practice which, as you know, is different from plain old practice where you can stop and start much more easily and don't have to worry about stage presence. Go play your little hearts out and get it all polished up for when you play the better venues. It can only help.

There is a good BBQ place called Rocklands as well.

None of these places cook as good as me and my sweetie.

Oh, this is so true!!!
 
 As much as I like DC and it's people, this is my biggest grudge against them. Once you meet them, they are fine, but Heaven forbid that you're alone in a crowd with them. They are some of the most anti-social people that I've ever had the displeasure to come across. And talking to them first doesn't work. They politely answer and then continue to ignore you. I use to feel like a social outcast in DC until I found out that everyone else has the same problem there.
 
 Thank God for this board. It cuts through all of that crap and gets people meeting new faces, which is one of the reasons that I love it so much.

That's because usually when a stranger talks to you in DC, he's usually trying to scam some money out of you rather than trying to be friendly. Thus, we become trained to ignore strangers talking to us. Bound to happnen a couple of times as I walk to the metro right now.

I have not been to one, but doesn't mean that there isn't one.

Yes indeed...I'm still looking.  Rocklands is just so-so...Heritage India, on the other hand, is incredible, but very pricey.  And I guess Tandoori is sort of Indian BBQ...

you may have to - eek! - venture out into the burbs for some bbq... they just have that backhome touch.
 
 or do they?

There's some sort of Mongolian BBQ place in Bethesda that is so-so. Nothing special, but I prefer to have someone to put it all together for me as I don't know those foods well enough to come up with the best combinations myself. Besides, when I go to a restaurant, I just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy myself. Let them do all of the cooking.
