Have any of you been to the 9:30 Club? It's a music venue in Washington, DC that gets some pretty major (and non-major) bands to come through. It is often referred to as the best place to hear live music in DC.

The acts that hit the 9:30 Club stage vary widely - ranging from rock to alternative to punk to rap - but I'd say most of the bands are aimed at the younger generation; the under 30 crowd, if you will.

And then I noticed that Melissa Etheridge is coming. Hey, that's cool, rock on with that. And then I noticed that she is coming for four nights in a row. Umh...okay, rock on with that as well...I guess. And then I noticed the price of the tickets (all general admission) - $75. Holy rocking lesbian, Batman! Is this necessary? Are there that many people that not only want to see Etheridge in concert but are willing to pay $75?

All I have to say is, thank goodness my girlfriend isn't gay, otherwise I might have to go see this show. Phew! Although I guess instead she takes me to movies like Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. If it wasn't for the possibility of sex afterwards, I might actually prefer the Etheridge show.
