The combination of inertia and poverty has kept me from going to concerts for a while, other than seeing my brother play about a year ago, and catching other bands at multi-band festivals where I'm playing. But I'm going to be able to go see Shonen Knife at the Black Cat in DC on Monday! And I was wondering who else I knew might be there as well. (Or who might be interested but hadn't known about it until now -- last I checked, tickets were still available.)
And a related question: is smoking still allowed in clubs in DC? If so, I'll make sure I'm not wearing anything marked "dry-clean only", so that I can get rid of the smell quickly and easily afterwards. (I've made that mistake before ... *sigh*)
