Back in September, we told you all about how you, too, could walk in the footsteps of legions of spiky-haired, leather jacketed youths armed with just your cell phone and the force of memory. The Yellow Arrow Capitol of Punk tour gives participants an interactive walking tour of the people and places associated with D.C. punk’s salad days, and has received an enthusiastic response, according to organizers. This Saturday at the Warehouse Theater, you can revisit those days in a more stationary fashion, as Yellow Arrow screens 10 short documentaries assembled for each of the stops on the tour.
Saturday’s screening will include an introduction and Q&A from the films’ creators, including Project Director/Executive Producer Jesse Shapins, Sound Designer/Story Editor Kara Oehler, and Video Director Christopher Allen. The event gets started at 10pm, with admission of $6, but some lucky DCist reader can skip the reaching for the wallet part. And all you have to do is tell us a story.
The old 9:30 Club location on F Street is a venue that holds a special place in many hearts, but that’s despite the smells, the obstructed views, the cramped quarters, and the assorted vermin roaming the edges. While many fondly remember the shabby charm of the old 9:30, everyone also tends to have a horror story of some sort associated with it. Leave a comment below describing your Most Harrowing Experience from 930 F Street, and DCist’s panel of judges will decide at the end of the day who is most deserving of the tickets for their hardship.
