From the 9:30 Club:

“Every 9/30 Day, the 9:30 Club takes a moment to celebrate the fans who come through its doors in record numbers, celebrating the communal role music plays in bringing everyone together. This year, the 9:30 Club is partnering with So Others Might Eat (SOME) as they face critical food shortages while residents and businesses band together to “Free DC”, working together to “Protect Home Rule and achieve self-governance for our community.”

To help, the 9:30 Club will be hosting a food drive and raffle this 9/30 Day, September 30, from 10 am to 7 pm, to accept non-perishable donations from SOME’s wishlist (see below), while also celebrating the relaunch of its limited edition “2:02” t-shirts, with all proceeds going to the Free DC project.

Update: “Definitely the foo fighters. They posted it online minutes ago. People who are in line can get 2 tickets and no more, but there is confusion about if the second person needs to be physically present. Must be here in person, numbered wristbands are being handed out. At 6:30, numbers will determine who gets opportunity to buy tickets for $30 but that is when you have to enter the venue.” (more…)
