There is a home town party this weekend at the new 9:30 Club in the form of a dc space reunion party/ benefit for Tom Terrell beloved deejay and friendly familiar voice to many a night owl. The 9:30 Club and dc space were located in what once was a forlorn F Street shopping district during the late 1970s and 1980s. The Hecht's Departent Store is now a Macy's, and part of Woodies is becoming a Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. The 9:30 Club has since moved to V Street, near Howard University.
When dc space opened on the corner of 7th and E, music fans started being a path between 9: 30 and space. Now the building houses a Starbucks, and during construction workers found an old office upstairs that once belonged to Clara Barton.
Over fifty artists, including the founders of both 9:30 and dc space, are gathering to celebrate 9:30's 30th anniversary, and in the spirit of benevolence, many are donating their talents this Sunday, July 29th. Doors open at 4. Twenty dollar donation. Performances including music, poetry and film will be ongoing until 1 a.m.
