32 years ago today -- A pretty amazing day in D.C. on August 7, 1993. I saw Fugazi perform by the Washington Monument in the afternoon, took a dinner break, and then went to see Jawbox and an incredible bill at St. Stephen's that night. Also interviewed Guy Picciotto before the Fugazi show! #DCpunk
