Hey there,

So I'll be going to DC for the next month, and as I don't know anything about the place, I'd appreciate if you guys could give me suggestions of places to go, things to do, gigs to attend and so.

DC is full of great things to do. Endless museums, restaurants and clubs. Pick up the City Guide for DC. Check out the 0930 club (also if Bob Mould and Blow-Off do their thing in the time you are in town).
Iota
Birchmere in Alexandria.

I live in the area: are you coming here wanting to play/gig, or just want some things to visit?

The metro is easy to get around on and stops near major attractions. If there was one thing to see I think it would be the Mall (the Senate building, washington monument, other monuments are near there). If you are into museums, lots of those: the Air and Space museum is pretty cool, also the Museum of the American Indian.

[edit] For music events, keep an eye on:

Wow all you people from DC, There is a sunset session with Free Beer this weekend on the roof of five if anyone wants to meet up. My roommate is spinning so it should be a good time.

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm checking out everything posted and trying to plan what I'll do once I'm there. I've already found quite a lot of exciting things to do.

I'm not playing there this time, but maybe I'll be going back later during the year, so maybe then I'll give it a shot.
