    What "inner band turmoil" was the earlier poster referring to? DC 06 was a great show.

    Opening with Release, wrapping up with Leash and a kick-ass Star Spangled Banner from Mike makes it a bad show??? I have to strongly disagree, DC06 was an amazing show all around.

    Having gone to all the DC/MD/VA shows since 2000, I can say that they have been good, but not great. In 06, I went to both Chicago shows and they were indeed more intense and the crowd was much better. What happened here in 2003 at Nissan Stone Ridge, was due to hellacious traffic, the show started off very somber, the band played 4-5 slow songs to let people get into the venue. This just paved the mood for the rest of the show.
    DC fans are somewhat laid back, I guess I'm describing more of myself. When I'm in the first few rows, I focus more on the music as opposed to jumping or raising my arms in the air. Call it age, but the people who have been fans for 15 + years appreciate the shows but you probably wont see it much based on their reaction.

    Very well said. I haven't been to a PJ concert here yet, but DC people don't seem to get too passionate about anything (sports, concerts...) or at least there's no hype or buzz that I hear. So I don't see the crowd here being too intense. But that doesn't mean they don't appreciate the music or aren't having a good time.

    We all can't be Philly, you know..... :)
    We're all different behind the eyes.

    DC 06 was a great show with lots of awesome songs on the setlist.

    The version of Fuckin Up was one of the best I ever heard, Mike's solo was amazing and Eddie's vocals were great.

    Looking forward to the show this year.

    Both D.C. '95s, 96 and 98 were GREAT. '03 was really good (I was there. Excellent show, cool intro and strong performance.)

    I have high hopes!!!

    I'm in!! Great timing; I'll be flying from Seattle for a week of training in DC beginning the day after the show. It'll be good to see a show with the East coast gang.

    Any chance someone could post the link to the thread that has the DC hotels link mentioned here/below- I've seen that there are several hotels on Capitol Hill close to the venue and the museums but I would love a local's perspective. We are hoping to check out the Spy Museum on Sunday afternoon. Any help would be great!!

    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?
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    If you take Amtrak into Union Station, from there you can jump on the Metro (red line) and go straight to the Verizon Center (Gallery Place / Chinatown stop...you literally come up underneath the venue). It's about a 5 minute ride. Use the link below for the map (note that Union Station is 3 stops to the right of the middle of the map).
