DC is not the best place for local music; most of the “popular” venues are bars with horrible acoustics, and it seems like any four jackasses that can play their instruments are playing emo music or faux-metal.

For you DCers, what do you like about local music? What would you like to see more of with local bands? Which is most important; musicianship, originality, or stage show?

Your answer could have a significant impact. Please answer seriously.

Answer by mickey g
well, frankly i must agree with you. my bf is a lighting designer who has had to light these bands in these bars. and lets just say TT Reynolds and the Shark Club are a little seedy sometimes. but sometimes you really do get some good music. When Junk Food first came out we worked with them. and then we do a lot at the Clarendon Ball Room.

And really, its all about stage show (with some talent of course). one of the bands that seems to get a rise out of the crowd the most is Gonzo’s Nose. We worked with them for years. great bunch of people, loads of fun, and just fun to watch and sing along with (they are a cover band).

but yeah, in general, i agree with you, and we’ll just stick with the big shows and local festivals.

what we really need are some new venues. we were really hopeful when putting in the new Irish Village out in sterling (where the old Draft house Movie Theater was) because the guy who owns it owned Ned Devine’s, but then he turned it into a night club/ bar and its really bad for live music.

there is an idea my BF and some of the guys he’s working with are throwing around for down in Flordia, but it would be cool here if it would happen. they want a full stage, but they want it to have its own lighting rig and sound system, but it is also a full bar with 250 items on draft (its supposedly going to be by hard rock and try to get the bands they wouldnt want) but thats now over and year in the making, and no progress has been happening. if someone was willing to do that around here that would just be amazing. and since the design would be made my these theatre geeks, the acoustics would actually be taken into affect!!

I try to find a website about korean pop concerts in the Greater DC area.
I already googled a lot but I can’t really find what I am looking for.

Does anybody know a good website?
Modern Pop like Super Junior, Beast, Shinee, 2pm ….

Best answer:

Answer by Magnolia Guitar Lessons and Repairs
I’m not sure what you mean by Korean pop concerts. Are you talking about modern pop music that just happens to be from Korea? Or traditional Korean cultural events?

Either way, ask the good folks over at Korean Focus. They’re connected with a lot of local area DC Korean cultural events. And if they don’t know, they probably know someone who does.

After the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, George Washington wrote that Americans would from this period be considered as Actors on a most conspicuous Theatre, which seems to be peculiarly designed by Providence for the display of human greatness and felicity. What did Washington seem to be saying about Manifest Destiny, as American ambition came to be known in the 19th century? What kind of stage do Americans live on? What does Washington’s quotation say about the United States responsibilities around the world?

Best answer:

Answer by tuffy
Washington was saying that the US was to be an example to the world that our chance to form a political system that would allow the average person be as powerful as the elite when it came to living one’s life with all the freedoms that a person could in terms of not having to pay outrageous amounts of taxes for the elite but little for the common man. Further, the political system would ideally work for the people in terms roads, canals so that goods could move farther and quicker. The form of government was for people to determine who would represent them the in Congress, and if they weren’t satisfied they could change their representative at the ballot box. It was a unique form of government because it has lasted some 200 yrs without the freedoms being eroded.

Washington DC – Navy Yard: Nationals Park
Washington

Image by wallyg
Nationals Park, located along the Anacostia River in the Navy Yard neighborhood, replaced RFK Stadium as the home for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball in 2008. The ballpark, designed by Populous (formerly HOK Sport) and Devrouax & Purnell Architects and Planners, seats 41,888 fans and cost 1 million to build. The park’s name echoes the original name of the early-1900s ballpark used by the Washington Senators/Nationals, which was called National Park until it was rebuilt and renamed Griffith Stadium.
