“Dear PoPville,
I got selected for jazz in the garden and am able to go for the first time in all of my years in dc! Wondering what are the best practices/recommendations these days for attending and having a good experience?“

ICYMI: On Friday we looked at historic photos from where the original 9:30 Club was located on F Street, which The Atlantis is based. Super cool history about the building too.
Thanks to Jay for sending finished photos of The Atlantis building (from outside). For folks who were lucky enough to get into pre-opening shows over the weekend – what’d you think of the inside and roof bar? (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
It’s now happened multiple times – a marching band down 13th st on a Wednesday night. Any idea what’s going on?”
Another reader asks: “do you know anything about the marching band / parade in NW today around 7 pm? i saw them on 11th between R and S. it made my day.”
I’m guessing it’s practice for the annual United House of Prayer Memorial Day Parade.
“Dear PoPville,
There has been an eerie, flute-like sound happening near the Petworth metro since last night. One long note followed by two short. Timinf is inconsistent. Anyone know what’s causing it?!
Much louder today than yesterday, too! 24 hours of it has definitely removed any appreciation for it.”

From an email:
“District Coalition. A non-profit taking a fresh look at the classical music scene in our city. There are more than 250 classical music concerts in DC per year. But they are highly concentrated by location. Around 94% occur in a single ward of D.C., Ward 2, known for very high-income residential neighborhoods such as Georgetown and Capitol Hill. 97% are held in churches and large auditoriums defined by their formality. They are also long… averaging around 120 minutes, and offer few opportunities for interaction among audience members.
What
Our second concert. Have fun and enjoy music. We have DJs, Opera, Classical, Hip Hop, and Jazz together—more than 4 hours of music in a fun and relaxed setting. Go with your friends, family, and kids, order drinks, eat, and talk.
When
Sunday, May 14th, 2 pm.
