Something to do in D.C. on inagauration day, besides get in fistfights with visiting hicks wearing the American flag as a piece of clothing or some sort of accessory (nothing says patriotism like a stars and stripes fanny pack stuffed with maps and snotty tissues, resting comfortably above a fat saggy ass). At the Black Cat:

NOISE AGAINST FACISM: Featuring: ANDREW W.K. and members of SONIC YOUTH, MIRROR/DASH (Kim Gordon/Thurston Moore), METALUX, DOUBLE LEOPARDS, 16 BITCH PILEUP, MONOTRACT, NAUTICAL ALMANAC, TO LIVE AND SHAVE IN LA (w/ Andrew W.K. and Thurston Moore), MAGIK MARKERS, WOLF EYES, LIGHTNING BOLT $12 mainstage 8:00

Speaking of local shows, how the hell did the Better Than Ezra tonight at the 9:30 sell out? Did 1995 buy all the tickets? Did a bunch of people who fell into comas in the mid-90s all suddenly wake up and needed to quench their thirst for alternative radio rock?
