A quick peek at DC9’s website this afternoon reveals that the club is indeed planning to be open on December 15, the first day it will be allowed to conduct business since being shut down after the death of Ali Ahmed Mohammed on October 15. In a hearing on December 1, the District’s Alcohol Control Board ruled that the club could reopen after hearing about new security installations and instituting some special conditions on the club’s staff.

There is no information about any acts performing at the club on the 15th, but the website does note an opening time of 9 p.m. that evening. A few other events have been booked at the club through the beginning of February.

The latest estimate of when the District’s Office of the Attorney General might get the results of the medical examiner’s report on Mohammed’s death is January 19. The club’s operation could conceivably be affected by the findings of that report.
