The Good, The Bad, and the Queen

Fair enough... I was just mentioning Greenbelt because it gives the option of catching a later train north.

Brian,
 
    Why not just drive to the 9:30 Club and park? Either in the neighborhood, or in the 9:30 parking lot? It's not like taking the Metro from Glenmont is going to save you either time or money.

How early does the parking lot open?  I took the entire day off and was going to spend the day at the zoo and the museums.
 
 Thanks to everyone for their help,

i'd think that the parking lot would open at the same time as the doors for that evening's show (usually around 7:00).

If you are there all day, you can easily find a spot on the street in front of the club (or across the street).  From there, it is a short walk to the metro and checking out the sights.

Just don't leave anything of value visible.

Street parking is metered during the weekday though...

[Brian_Wallace]

Yes.  That's why I'm stymied by the options.
 
 1. I'd use the 9:30 lot but I'm spending the day in DC and that lot doesn't open until around 6 or 7 doesn't it?
 
 2. I could just find a parking space on the street but I'd have to feed the meter every couple of hours and...ummm...my car would be on the street unattended for about fifteen hours.
 
 3. I could find a parking garage but I'd have to pay $20-$30 wouldn't I?
 
 That's why I like taking the Metro.  Compared to other public transportation in some other East Coast cities, the DC Metro is first rate.  It's just that I hope I don't miss the last train if the band runs long.
 
 And to be honest with you, if they do run long, I think I'll just leave before the end.  I like the CD but I'd rather not be stuck in D.C.
 
 Thanks for everyone's help.  I guess I'll think of something.

VIA the FAQ forum:
 
 Doors 7:30
 Trixie Little and the Evil Hate Monkey 8:30
 The Good, The Bad and The Queen 9:30
 
 So it sounds like you have plenty of time.
