14th and S Street, NW
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…)

From a press release:
“Since first opening its doors 45 years ago on May 30, 1980, the 9:30 Club has hosted more than 11,000 artists and nearly 8 million fans. That’s a lot of music, and a lot of memories. That’s more than 11,000 nights of irreplicable experiences; unique performances and interactions that each strike like lightning. And while you can’t bottle lightning, you can photograph it.
Jim Saah has been doing just that for almost as long as the 9:30 Club has been open, capturing his first show at the original 9:30 Club on October 17th, 1982.
