Spot In The Sky

I work at the Hyatt 3 blocks from the Verizon center and ive never been to a DC show so this will totally fuckin rock for me. Its been tooooo long.

WEAPONX24

I must say I've seen PJ a bunch of times in various places...VA Beach, MSG, Philly, Camden...and I was at the D.C. show the last time they were here in 2006, and it was VERY lame! People were just not into the show. I was standing & singing along, rocking out the entire show...and these motherfuckers were looking at me like I'm the asshole! I'm hoping its a better turnout this time around!

The train will go into Union Station which is a ten minute cab ride at most to the Verizon center.

Hmmm, that could be it. I know it definitely was the "official" place for PJ fans to hang out.

I mean come on... its an election year, Bush's last year in office, the war is still on... Eddie is going to have field day at this show! I bet this show will rock!

agreed!
also why besides the 2 MSG shows, Dc is the only other we plan to attend. going to make a mini holiday out of it, go saturday thru monday, stay at a nice hotel, etc. i most definitely think it'll be a GREAT show. hartford is really the only other show that would fit our schedule, but we went there last tour and.....eh. time to try another city. DC is it!

DC has the WORST fans in the country.
They wouldn't know a good PJ show if Eddie personaly shoved it up their butt.

That being said, '06 was a phenomenal show at the MCI.

I agree with this, the shows up north are always better than DC

i hope so! hope there's a meet-up planned and you most definitely are tops of the list to meet!




btw - thank you. you posted a link to DC hotels in another thread the other day. i bookmarked it b/c it really gave a great listing of places nearby the venue.


i haven't been to DC since i was a child, so it'll be fun to revisit. is the venue in the city, or the outskirts? if we get a hotel close to the venue, will it be easy to get to downtown DC proper, do some sightseeing and such?

I'm going with my 11 year old niece so I'm not sure what time I'll have before the show. However, we'll see

The venue is in the city proper in a neighborhood called Gallery Place/Chinatown which is about 5 blocks from the mall with all the museums, and a long hop skip jump from the Washington Monument (about 20-30minute walk.) Sometimes I would get off at that metro stop instead of the one closest to my work just to have a nice walk across the mall in the morning. I work a couple blocks from the White House. I think the mall is the best that DC has to offer. June will be a hot/humid time, like NY but a little bit worse, but there is so much to walk to. The Library of Congress is a long walk away or two metro stops. There's the Shakespeare Folger Library near the Library of Congress. The long walk to the Washington Memorial is just a little short in distance from the mega monument madness i.e., Korean Memorial, VietNam War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial etc. On or near the Mall are the newish National Museum of the American Indian and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. I haven't been to the second one, yet.

I'm still trying to find the PERFECT cappucino. M.E.Swings, which is closer to the White House is pretty good.

This DC show will be the first I am missing in over 12 years. I have a biz trip scheduled at that time and cannot easily change it at this point.

So, I guess that just clears the way for someone with a higher # to get a slightly better seat. I am 183XXX, which got me row "W" last time (not so great), but I did get row 12 when they were at Nissan Pavilion in 2003.

Bummer. If someone snags me a poster, I will be eternally grateful...

besides masters of war and boom practicing his intro to betterman for storytellers. the last time in dc was uneventful and the height of inner band turmoil i might add

No Fear Of Falling

Release, Low Light, I Got Shit, Present Tense, Masters Of War, Killer RVM..

I dont understand how people could hate on DC 06.

Cant wait for this next show!
