I can't believe it--of the three locations, I'm actually closest to Philly (I'm in DC), but that's on a Wednesday

Anyone going to Rehoboth?

How far away is Rehoboth...is there a scene for The Smiths in Rehoboth....wtf? Being that it's on a Sat nite it seems like a possibility if it's not too far. A show in Delaware sounds like an odd proposition though.

It just over 3 hours from us.

3 hours...ugh...not un-doable, but i was hoping it would be closer. And no doubt will require a fortune in tolls. Oh Delaware, so much to answer for.

Admittedly, we too thought a show in Delaware was an odd proposition when we were first approached by the venue. But the promoter has assured us that there's a lively scene in Rehoboth, and it worked out to be a logical place to hit in this series of shows we booked. Plus, we've heard that the venue is great (Dogfish Head makes some really good beer!). It may seem out of the way, but we're sure it will be a worthwhile trip!

Unfortunately, a tentative DC gig we had been working on for Thursday 1/24 fell through, and we haven't yet been able to fill in another booking for that date. At this point it looks like we'll be hanging out in Philly on Thursday, so we may be looking for fun things to do in town (Moz or non-Moz related) if any Philly locals have suggestions. That is, of course, unless we find a last-minute performance opportunity somewhere between Philly & Norfolk for that night.

Feel free to PM me or mistermarr if anyone has any thoughts - thanks!

i still dont believe there is a Smiths scene in Philadelphia. if there is I haven't found it.

It's probably a lot livelier in the summer!

Thinking, thinking...Iota Club in Arlington is booked that night, Dr. Dremo's in Arlington is closing (although they may be up for it; the place shuts its doors forever on 01/26, so maybe you guys could be part of a big going-away party), hmm...

Oh, and lastofthefamous, the only toll between here are there is the Bay Bridge, which is $2.50, and it's collected only on the eastbound trip. That's nothin'.

That said, I don't think that I can make it to any of these shows.
