One more thing to do in D.C. next Thursday that doesn't involve a bunch of asshole fake cowboys, this one courtesy of Dischord Records:

Thu 20 DC, Washington - Sanctuary Theater/Calvary Methodist Church (1459 Columbia Rd. NW between 14th and 15th Sts. Near Columbia Heights Metro) w/ Anti-Flag, 1905 and Del Cielo. 6pm. $5. All Ages. This show is a benefit for Empower DC and Jan 20th protest efforts against the 2005 Presidential Inauguaration. Info: www.positiveforcedc.org

Also, did you know that all the Ritz-Carlton staff will be wearing rattlesnake boots and cowboy hats next week? Nothing says "workin' on a ranch" like $500 rooms and day spas.
