Until now I've been specifically avoiding flying through IAD - even if a flight through IAD is ~$150 cheaper than flying through National, airport ubers to and from DC proper can run ~$65 each way.

So the new metro connection makes IAD a reasonable option in a way that it kinda just wasn't before. So I'm liking the option, even if I haven't used it to get to the airport yet!

What worked for me:

  • Find a few more punk "official" venues that you enjoy. You'll probably need to travel a bit away from Foggy Bottom for this. Quarry House in Silver Spring, "The Pocket" at 7 Drum City, Comet Ping Pong on Wisconsin Conn Ave, or Pie Shop on H Street are all good options.

  • Find local bands playing there that you enjoy listening to. Follow their social media.

  • See when those bands are playing more underground "unofficial" venues.

Good luck! The punks here can be a little reserved about putting all the details up online, but they tend to be pretty trusting of people they've met in person.
