Once we figured out our transportation Katie and I headed south to Washington, DC, effectively avoiding the hefty tolls usually associated with that drive by simply taking another highway. Awesome.
When we got into the city we went to Sticky Fingers vegan bakery and cafe. Katie had read good things about it so we checked it out for lunch.
We got chik'n quesadillas and grilled cheese with tempeh bacon. They were both delicious. The quesadilla was awesome. It's hard to find vegan cheese that actually tastes good and melts like regular cheese but this stuff is it.
We had to try some of their famous cupcakes as well so we each got one for there and one to take home. The peanut butter fudge that I got was great but the banana chocolate peanut butter one that I took home was even better.
We made our way to the 9:30 Club after eating and the line was still wrapped around the building waiting for doors to open.
We went across the street for a drink while we waited for people to shuffle in. We watched Telemundo and we had a view of the front door of the club so we knew when to head in. Spanish television is fun to watch with the sound off. I guess it doesn't really matter if you don't know the language.
We got in about fifteen minutes before Something Corporate came out. They were the only band playing so we didn't have to wait through any openers.
They played so many great songs. Everyone in the crowd and on stage was really into it. I forgot how much fun their shows were.
They slowed it down a few times, playing "Walking By" from Audioboxer, which is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Probably my favorite actually.
At the end of "iF U C Jordan" Andrew danced on his piano keys just like the old days. It seemed more like a funny nostalgic thing now though instead of the original craziness that it used to be.
Their encore was awesome, starting with "Konstantine" and adding in "Forget December" on the fly. Andrew seemed really sincere in thanking everyone and they put on a great show, playing almost every song they've recorded. I'm glad we got a song from the EP and a b-side at this show. If they never play again this would be a great farewell.
The ride home seemed long but it actually took less time than the trip there. I'm glad I know this back way there now. It's much cheaper. It was a great day.
