I went last year and had a pretty good time.

I guess that nobody on here likes beer or bands. My mistake. I will never ask again.

I would go, since I like beer, and I'm in a band, but I've been sick so I'm sitting it out.

My brother is the drummer of Decade, a band out of Leonardtown MD. But, they won't be there either.

I've been the last few years. I think it is a Rip off. It use to be alot better when it was in downtown Arlington, now it is in a parking lot.

DynamiteRave · 03-14-2008, 03:21 PM

I wanted to go so bad but I couldn't get tickets and my best friend is out of town right now and my plan isn't go and get rubbed on by drunk sweaty dudes.

At least not alone.

And I only know like.. 2 of the bands that are going to be there. But good music is good music.

Have fun SSG.

I never go to anything like that... I don't know why. I skipped work one year and went to kegs and eggs on a whim... like I pulled into the parking lot of the job and as I was walking in a freind and I were talking about listening to it on the radio, and we turned around and went to lulu's. It was fun at first, but then I had to make my way out of DC totally hammered in the middle of mid afternoon traffic... and that blew pretty bad.

Let me know how it turns out... I'd like to give the 'big' party scene another shot..

Yeah being hammered in the middle of the day can get old fast

OK, this was my experience. Hopped on the Metro with my wife and got 1/4 of the way there and she realized that she forgot our tickets. Hopped off, went back ,and picked them up. Got back on compleetly packed Metro all of the way there. Stood in line for 30minuites to buy a green hat and some beeds. Went through the VIP entrance very quickly. Stood in line and got 2 beers a piece. Realized we were hungry and left VIP area to get food.
Ate food
Caught a band
Caught a riverdance show
Went back to VIP area
Got beer
Realized my shoulder was killing me
Gave away VIP wrist bands
Left early
Took empty metro to Wheaton mall
Got a massage and acupuncture for throbbing shoulder
Got back on metro
Went to Mcdonalds
Hopped on bus
Went home

Might have had a better time if I wasnt in so much pain. But this time sucked.

I actually was there, I had no computer access all weekend so I didnt see this thread, but I had a pretty good time there, had a couple good concerts, some good beer. We were there early, left pretty early to nap too before going out...but I had fun, how was your time?

ecupirate08 · 03-17-2008, 01:47 AM

i was there on sat. To sum it up, i spent 25$ to go watch a bunch of no name cover bands and spend 50$ on beer, but the weather was nice and i got to see some good friends before my spring break came to a close.
