Contest is over - winners will be notified!
Hey kids, we're helping sponsor a pretty stellar party coming up, and to kick off the announcement we're giving away two pairs of tickets. Just list what you want for Christmas (besides free tickets to this show, duh) in the comments and we'll pick 2 at random. Here are the details:
WASHINGTON SOCIAL CHRISTMAS
with
Washington Social Club
Laura Burhenn of Georgie James
The Dance Party
Jukebox the Ghost
Susan and Emily from Exit Clov
Members of Le Loup
Caverns
+ Suprise Guests (my money is on Bono)
December 15
9:30 Club
Doors at 6:30 pm
It's gonna be like a variety show, not opening bands and headlining act, they're all mixed up together from start to finish doing cover songs and duets and shit. The show ends at 11pm in time to go out to some dance night. I personally think early Sat shows are totally rad. So don't show up late, or you'll miss the free presents from Spin and other goodness. Plus it's gonna be Wash Soc Club's last show for a while. Or maybe ever if Marty dies in some freak yoga accident.
Oh, if you don't win, it's only $15
So, once again, to get free tickets just comment what you want for Christmas below. And now some hot anime Christmas chicks for no reason:
Previously in Live DC:
- 2/13: LiveDC: George Clinton & The Parliament-Funkadelic @ 930 Club

All I want for Christmas is Jew.
Ahem, all I want for Christmas is for my Jewish identity struggles to end.
dear santa cale:
i would like hot anime chrismas chicks...well...for christmas.
love,
carri
p.s. i don't need the tickets to the show because i won't be in dc, but i would still appreciate the hot anime christmas chicks. thanks.
Ahem... doesn't Marty owe me payback for the Sedaris ticket? (Maybe I owe him based on the reviews...) I bid you a good day sir. I said - I bid you a good day sir!
I just want what's coming to me. I just want my fair share.
Actually Harry, no Christians are allowed to come to this party, your kind is welcome here.
don't want tix due to a previously scheduled engagement
but since a dance party to attend after the show was mentioned, here's one that wasn't on the BYT calendar, though it's been a recent usual regular:
Metapop
indiepop, synthpop, britpop
9:30 pm to 2 am
DJs Swank and Arcane
www.myspace.com/metapopdc
$5
please add
Lily,
You're almost as annoying as Michael...almost.
loves it. don't know if i'll be making it back to philly for this one, but i remain hopeful.
back FROM philly
gimme gimme gimme!
On the question of Jews: I have it on the down-low that there will be a rock-your-socks-off version of "Dreidel! Dreidel! Dreidel!" at this show. Pour one out for Hanukkah!
Christians are welcome as are all other religious persuasions. Even Scroogey ole atheists like Cale.
But be warned: As is the case every time The Dance Party or Washington Social Club take the stage, this is not a show for the weak-hearted or easily-offended.
can we at least keep out the mormons?
PS. I am not Scroogey! I actually love Christmas! Seriously. The lights and trees and everything. Especially black baby jesus nativity scenes. Even the music doesn't get on my nerves.
I want to give my friend tickets to this concert!
A puppy.
All I want for Christmas is three peruvian midgets that dance the Macarena everytime I play "Bye Bye Bye" on my stereo on full blast at 4am.
After 2 forty's of Mickey's, of course
While mostly everyone else wants an iPod, I'm going old school, I want a record player.
i want a triple hole punch...
ohhh, not that type...
you're dirty.
What about Eid, yo? All I want for Eid is Orange Bowl tickets (GO HOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!)
All I want for Christmas is my roomate to move out of my apartment. He can stay if he wants to start paying me for psycho theropy.
i want a VCR..!!
The Mormons aren't allowed to attend because they don't like alcohol or caffeine. They also don't like meat in excess, and since I heard you guys were going to throw raw meat at people as a finale; they will def. not enjoy it. I also don't need the free tix because spending $15 is what Christmas is all about.
Dear Cale,
]
For Christmas I would really love a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR. I would also like a new baby kitten. A 4.0 GPA would be lovely too. Oh, and if you could throw in a month long vacation to London that would be helpful.
kthanks!
Love,
Jeeyoon
They also aren't crazy about facial hair - so they might take issue with Laura Burhenn's performance.
I kid - I <3 Laura
Dear Santa; Christmas is on its way. Lovely, glorious, beautiful Christmas, upon which the entire kid year revolved. All I want is an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
(well that and/ or a sewing machine--no seriously).
I'm annoying?
I would like several packs of C batteries, two bottles of expensive Merlot or Piniot Grigio (you can pick Santa) and a festive holiday Do Not Disturb sign to hang on my apartment door.
michael - i was SO waiting for you to pick up on that.
vanessa - YOU WIN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(note: i am not the one giving out free tickets, but if i were, you would totally win)
I want a hot latin lover, of course.
I want the ambition to finish my Requiem.
For Crapmas this year I would like a small potted cactus, some new underwear, and gift cards to the grocery store.
Oh and I would like to not have to move to canada.
All I want for Christmas are those Jim Gaffigan tickets that I lost out on last week.
still don't want tix
but Santa/Jesus/The Chosen People's God/Kwanza spirit, if you could get Kenny and mike to stop being asshats, i'm sure it would save their souls
thanks
Nobody loves the holidays like a cashew (yes, the catholic jew)...and I'm willing to consolidate all eight candle burning and one blessed baby birthing night(s) of presents to win these tickets. Thats a lot of confused childhood gift giving right there... a testament to my yearning. jingle mazel tov!!!
hmmm ive been wanting a KEYTAR for god knows how long..oh and lessons too!!!
i also want to experience being a guy for 24hours...that would be pretty rad...
yeah i dont have a sick mind- im just very open minded and curious.
what a hawt line up! i wanna see susan and emily to make up for missing tegan and sara at lisner.
world peace.
and a bottle of champagne. to celebrate.
good wine
a liger
as the only black reader of this blog i too enjoy black baby jesus nativity scenes....and for christmas i want booze and hamburgers.
i want mick to flash his junk onstage and kevin to make out with me backstage, i want marty to finger fuck me in the girls room and i want to do shots with le loup!
I want to be in DC for this show! I don't get back until the 22nd.
Gisele and I have a lot of big purchases to make.
The other thing I'll take is money, in euros please
For Christmas:
I do not want Mick to flash his junk on stage or Kevin to make out with me backstage, I'll pass on the bathroom finger fucking from Marty but here is something that maybe far more attractive:
I'm a Washington Social Club virgin
I have never seen them live so that being said maybe I'll want the above after a live experience, probably not but maybe.
However I will do shots with le loup, but then again I do shots with everyone and anyone, I do not discriminate with whom I abuse my alcohol with.
Also, here are a few similarities between The Washington Social Club and Christ:
JC supposedly had one hell of a presence, from what I hear so does Wash Soc Club.
JC had quite the following of eclectic and interesting people (i.e. manual laborers, virgins, prostitutes, fisherman) and from what I understand this is very similar the those of The Washington Social Club.
JC's b-day is partially celebrated by gift exchange, these gifts are wrapped in bright colors, as are the band members of Wash Soc Club
Both appreciate the power of spoken/sung words.
Both have their own scene, JC has a nativity and well, Wash Soc Clubs scene I need to see b/c I hear it's pretty badass.
So don't be a shitstick and please give me the tickets, I have to go back to work now.
Thanks
ebel
For years I have been putting together the perfect Christmas list. Now that I can put it to good use, my mind is stalling. Here is what my little heart can squeeze out on the fly:
1. A serenade from AC Slater (Mario Lopez), complete with jerry curled mullet, cut off t shirt and hammer pants. But heck, I would settle for a set by Zack Attack.
2. My very own Pope Mobile. Perhaps even hooked up by Xzibit.
3. Hummus on tap.
4. A sasquatch powered electrical generator for my home. Oh, and a sasquatch keeper so that my power source is well fed and groomed.
Well, Santa, get on it!
j
I want santa to make me less lazy. oh and an awesome stereo system for my car and some cool edvard munch paintings would be nice too.
In light of "Just list what you want for Christmas (besides free tickets to this show, duh) in the comments and we’ll pick 2 at random." I suggest people are trying too hard to impress with their creativity. I mean they're going to pick two at random, therefore you could have composed your entire Christmas list in 14th Centruy French in a Sijo poem form and it would have the same random chance of winning as someone saying "I want to let a perfect fart on a crowded Metro train"
Michael, you're such a stick in the mud.
All I want for Christmas is three days with nothing to do.
If by "stick in the mud" you mean "astute observer of the obvious" then you're right Taylor.
Besides someone (not me) wishing to let a perfect fart is funny.
this christmas i want:
-a new bike
-a large block of vermont cheddar
-a better haircut
-more money so i can stop trying to score free tickets
All I want for Xmas is:
an iMac
a trip to Chicago
a new Sirius radio
a lifetime prescription of Tramadol
a new ipod to replace me stooooleeennn oneeeeeeee
All I want for Christmas is a never-ending travel mug of bourbon and spiced apple cider. . . which I'll trade in for a bottomless margarita at the first sign of spring but appreciate immensely in the meantime.
all i want for christmas is a northface backpack, snowboarding gloves, and a jukebox the ghost ticket
All i want for Christmas is to meet the bands who are playing here (hint backstage passes to chill)
well cya at the show
What do I want for Christmas? He knows who he is.
All I want for Christmas is.....
*a case of mini-mickeys for some faux-christmas joy
*a bowl of gravy to throw at the jerks I work with
*The entire collection of Law and order SVU on DVD so I can pause it and actually get some work done
*A Squirrel Army
Really I've been good lately I swear!
"Santa Claus, this Christmas, don't let these friends go home, don't let the revelry end, and don't leave me here alone."
All I want for Christmas is a mom......
for christmas i would like more wsc in dc!
all i want for christmas is barbie's dream house !!!!* said in really high pitched girl voice*
oh and feel free to throw in a copy of planet earth on dvd. that show is awesome.
Is Christmas called Christmas because "mas" means "more" en espanol? That being said, apparently we need more JC for Christmas, and I'm not talking Chasez. Wait a minute...yes I am. I hear he's from Bowie, so this seems like a viable option. Does Kevin know him?
For Christmas I want a new iPod case and the Kitchenaid Artisan mixer in Empire Red that I just bought for my mom - maybe she'll leave it to me in her will...
