You should def go. The crowd will be older and about 50/50 gay. Good vibes.

Just be aware it is hazardous to drive and park there, and it's also damn near impossible to get a ride home from Uber, cabs, etc. It's become prohibitive.

I plan on dipping out shortly after the new year comes in. I bought tickets for Deadmau5 for the next day lol. But thanks for the heads up!

Call for your ride and stay inside until it gets there.

I didn’t even consider that point, not something I had to worry about for a while. Thanks and have a happy new year!

They usually close that road for through traffic after the show starts; pin the McDonald’s / 7-11 on your map and walk there to have a ride come get you

Definitely don't listen to that guy. I have been to countless shows at echostage. If you call a ride and stay inside the venue, you won't get a ride. Call it to the McDonald's or 7/11 and walk over there.

Aay same! Thank god I got Monday off otherwise I'd probably have to dip on Deadmau5. Lemme know if you're looking for people to hang with at either event

Headline acts rarely go on before midnight. I suspect A&B will start at midnight. Shows at DC clubs start late and end late (3am earliest)

Completely agree with all of this including the 50/50 gay (lmao). A&B does attract an older, chill crowd and there's no reason not to go even if you go alone. I wouldn't dip out right after 12 though because there's a strong chance they won't even go on until 12 since there are 2 other openers. If you leave by 1:30 you shouldn't have as much of an issue getting an Uber/Lyft BUT that's under normal circumstances and not during NYE.

I used to drive there almost every time and never had any issues if you reserve parking ahead of time and lock your doors. Now I don’t have a car and a bit nervous how that’s gonna work out
