JUNE 7 - WASHINGTON, DC

[superfan99]

I should look at the internet before I ask questions. Looks like Right on Dynamite is opening. www.myspace.com/rightondynamite

[Bright New Minneapolis]

Eee! I'm so excited A couple of my friends are coming as well, and we're hoping to join you all for the pre-show festivities with beer in tow - what do you all like? I'll PM you to ask for address details, hoodrat!

At the risk of appearing silly, I do have a question: what time do we have to leave in order to assure frontrow spots?

Emailed. You would be my favorite person on earth if this happens.

[hoodrat]

hey adam - if this doesn't come through, keep a close eye on craigslist. i snagged a face value ticket there for a friend earlier this week. and i have seen a couple other postings for people unloading at face value. you just have to act quickly on them. good luck!

So, there is an afternoon cookout chez hoodrat on June 7. Fire up the grill around 1:30. Burgers and some kind of veg fare. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the 930 club. Stay all afternoon if you want.

I don't want to post my address and phone number for the whole world; so PM me if you to be added to the e-invitation. Boardmembers all invited. If you're not sure, go ahead and get added to the evite; you can rsvp later.

EDIT: some info from the evite:

There's a grill and deck and a basement in case of rain or large crowds. We'll fire up the grill around 1pm, plan on eating around 2. We'll provide burgers, some veg fare, and a case of beer. You guys bring the fun. RSVP so that I know how many to plan for.FAQ:
"umm, isn't that in the ghetto?" we prefer the term "transitional neighborhood" and it's not that bad. don't stumble around drunk by yourself in the middle of night.

"how do i get there?" the closest metro stop to my place is the columbia heights metro - about 5 blocks. there is a busstop half a block away on georgia ave. consult www.hopstop.com for walking and metro directions. www.wmata.com also has a handy tripplanner. parking outside my house is reasonably plentiful on the weekend, but by permit only on weekdays.

"can i bring something to help out?" yes. it's totally unnecessary, of course, but if you are so inclined, bring some dessert or beer or similar. if you know that you are planning on bringing something, post here or email me to let me know what.

"what time is it over?" You can hang out all afternoon if you want. Or not if you don't. And feel free to come later if you want. But I will plan on kicking out anyone still hanging around by 7, which is doors time for the concert. That should leave me enough time to clean up a little, eat some leftovers, and maybe still catch some of the opening act.
I can recommend any number of lovely places to eat in striking distance of the 930. Etete if you like Ethiopian food. Nellie's for decent pubfare. Polly's for the perfect grilled cheese. Ben's if you're looking to die young but happy. Duffy's if you want the closest place to the club.

"uh, what if we only met on the internet. am i really invited?" yes.

bumpity bump bumping this. don't forget to PM me your email address if you want in. my place is still a general disaster area, but i confirmed that the grill works last night. so we should be good to go.

If anyone still need tickets to the June 7 show, I have two to sell at face value.

PM me please.

Thanks,
Mary

this is nothing wrong with this post.

maybe you should come too

[heidivandernice, nice]

rich, i have no idea what to bring now, thanks.

chris, get your ass down to DC. you gave me a hard time when i didn't go, so now the tables have turned.

If anyone is still looking for/deciding on a hotel, I just booked a room at the Westin City Center. Although City Center is over and no one really goes there, it's a really good price for a Westin ($95) and looks to be about a mile from the venue. If anyone else is staying there or decides to stay there, send me a PM.

Getting excited!

[Bright New Minneapolis]

So, so excited! Can't wait to finally meet you all at hoodrat's new place!

Also, last call for beer requests (or other alcohol; I would not hesitate to show up with a handle of Jack or something similar). I'm happy with anything from Natty Boh to Guinness, so I'd be grateful for any ideas. One thing I do request... no Heineken. For whatever reason, I can't stand the stuff

[blabbate]

I'll be there with bells on and bringing something domestic and summery. Probably Sunshine Pils or Oberon. Don't worry, I won't bring Heineken.

[Jersey]

In plus one.
Possible stop at Chez Hoodrat.
See YOU at the rawk show.

TWO DAYS!!

I'm really bummed about not being able to make it to the cookout. I wanna make this an extra special show. Might have to make a confetti run sometime this weekend.

[hoodrat]

I should probably knock on something instead of posting this, but the weather forecast for sunday is "mostly sunny," no rain, high of 83. Perfect.

[JonnyJay]

TOMORROW!

[frankiet]

Never seen them before, been dying to, and for some reason my dumb ass didn't notice they were coming here this weekend. I just want to get my hands on ONE ticket. I live near the 9:30 Club and would probably stand outside all night if I didn't get in. Anyone got an extra??

I don't have one, but you should definitely come and hang outside the venue. I've had success in the past asking around outside of shows for tickets. Good luck!

[frankiet]

got a ticket today. Can't wait, first time!

[JonnyJay]

Almost there! I'll be wearing my US shirt underneath my costume during my play today, and I'll basically be running from the stage to my car, and then I'm on my way. Can't wait to see the familiar faces again, and meet some new faces for the first time. Hope everyone has fun at Amy's cookout, I'm there in spirit. Safe driving, and stay positive. See ya'll in a few hours!

[tonyrockyhorror]

Myself, resident taper and US# 3.14 and my lovely wife, US# 8008, will be in attendance to the cookout at chez hoodrat and for the show tonight.

the weather is absolutely amazing in D.C. today. so excited! i'm feeling pretty good, yeah it feels pretty good!
