Thankfully I’m awake at a respectable hour today: 9:00. After some coffee and a turkey sandwich, I don sunglasses and head out the door.

I’m iffy on my transport route today. In order to get to the 9:30 Club box office, I have a couple of different options. 1) take the 96/97 (informally known as the Racist Bus); 2) walk to Potomac Ave station and Metro it from there; or 3) walk.

I chose option 3, just because it will be something new to do. I’m a little apprehensive walking the entire duration of the direct Florida Ave (it diverts it’s traffic later than my destination, so the length of FloAve proper) because it runs through a couple of potentially sketchy neighborhoods, but since it’s daytime I think I can maneuver the course unscathed.

I’m headed to 9:30 so that I can purchase tickets without suffering the “convenience charge” that online services pile on. Plus, there’s really not that much else to do today.
