It takes forever to get places in D.C. It especially takes forever to get from AU to U Street, the rather shady home of the Black Cat and the 9:30 club. Waiting for your roommate, waiting for the AU shuttle to take you to the Metro, waiting for your slow friends at the Metro stop, waiting for the train, waiting to transfer trains, walking to the club - what would be a 15-minute drive turns into an hour-long inconvenience.
