to come out. Sundown is just off of 18th and Columbia, near the McDonald's,
next door and downstairs from the Subway Sandwich shop. Call 202-483-7123

New Vegas Lounge, 1415 P Street NW, (202) 483-3971 has an open mike night
on Thursdays. It's run by a local band led by Rickie Lee who is a hot
guitarist. The club is run by Dr. Blues who will get up and sing without
much encouragement. Lots of fun, but Ave. P and 14th is not a nice place
to be at two in the morning. They also have "Professionals' jam nights
on Tuesday and Wednesday - "Bring your tools" (I've been wondering just
how they determine whether you're a professional or not. I'm gonna have
to go check this out.)
