Lizzy - Amazing, Parking - NO
by m on 5/1/239:30 CLUB - WashingtonLizzy is always wonderful and is one of my favorites. This review has NOTHING to do with her. Anyway, love Lizzy, hence why i was so excited to see her that i bought tickets as SOON as they went on pre-sale for the closest show to me…. 3.5 hours away. No biggy! I paid for 9:30 Club parking up front so i wouldn’t have to worry about walking far in a strange city or fighting traffic or crowds. I was so incredibly wrong. The traffic was wrapped around the parking area - and down all surrounding streets. the signs were unclear and even facing parallel to the road in some places. You couldn’t even see it until you passed it. We tried for over an hour to find this lot - like 10 almost car accidents later because people were absolutely insane (going against the flow of traffic, doing 10 point turns in a two lane road to turn around in the middle of traffic, STOPPING in the MIDDLE of the road for NO reason with hazards on boxing people in with no shame), we gave up. It was a NIGHTMARE. We drove the 3.5 hours home because there was no way to get to where we needed to go- and there was NO way i was about to fight that at night in the dark while everyone was trying to leave the place. I was so upset - i have travelled to many cities for concerts. Dare i say big venues in new york, detroit, and philidelphia were a piece of cake compared to this. I will NEVER go to a 9:30 club event again…. unless they figure out the nightmare of a parking location and set up they have. they need clear directions, signage, and traffic directors…. and probably some police!!!
