That, by my count, is the number of bars and restaurants in which I have performed in the greater D.C. metro area since 1993. This, of course, does not include dozens of private parties/weddings/whatever, nor does it include the clubs I can’t remember, nor does it include the rare far-out-of-town gig given to bands by fans who moved away.

Here’s a full interactive map of all the locations via a Google Map mash-up. And trust me, playing in 53 bars takes a toll.
