Beth came up to see the Pietasters at the 9:30 Club and convinced Mark and Michelle to join her. Beth is a big fan after meeting them and hanging out with them in Raleigh. We were supposed to have backstage passes but they were in Matt's name and Beth couldn't get them changed beforehand.
Teri joined us and the five of us headed to the 9:30 Club. The Pietasters always play late with 2 or 3 bands playing before them. We showed up to see the second to last band, Ruder Than You, and get a little warmed up. The place was rather empty still. The band wasn't too bad and we got down right in front.

Before the Pietasters went on we could see the band next to the stage and I convinced Beth to go talk to them. The trumpet player was hanging out near by and he recognized Beth once she got his attention. He brought the two of us backstage and we hung out before the show for a few.
The show was great. Teri and I got down with everyone skanking while Beth, Mark, and Michelle hung out on the second floor balcony. The Pietasters are always high energy and we had fun getting down. They let everyone on stage at the end like they always do at the 9:30 Club. I couldn't convince Teri to jump up. One guy did a stage dive and no one caught him. The place wasn't too full.
Afterwards the singer was hanging out on the almost empty venue floor and Beth went up to talk to him. He brought Beth, Teri, and I backstage up to the green room. It was a cool little hangout area but none of the other band members were there. They were lacking beer as well and when it did show up it was Bud. First time I've had Bud in as long as I can remember. We took off quickly after as the band wasn't really hanging out.
The next day Beth woke up with her hand over her head and Teri, Mark, Michelle and I went to Ragtime for the omelet bar, mimosas, and bloody mary's.
