9:30 Club Celebrations

9:30 Club is a DC institution.

This weekend they will celebrate their 30th birthday in style.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists will be there along with Slickee Boys, Flesh Tones, Psychedelic Furs and some very special guests.

This will be a fun event. Seth Hurwitz is the coolest guy in town. So support your local music club promoter! See their web site here.

Once our Deal Closes and is Official

I will publish a Washington Wizards related email address so our fans can communicate directly with me.

I am receiving literally hundreds and hundreds of emails a day now at my personal account, and at my Washington Capitals account from Wizards fans. I thank you for your interest.

I promise to be interactive and listen to our fans and we will have an appropriately named email address for this communications platform. Stay tuned.

I cannot add any more friends to my Facebook page as I am at their limit of 5000 friends. I am unsure on whether I will open a Facebook fan page or start a Twitter account related to the Wizards, as I already have so many ways to connect with our fans of all of our teams. I promise to blog about all of our teams on Teds Take. I promise to keep the lines of communications open as I have a lot to learn.

Please be nice and respectful. I will do my best to reciprocate. Thank you.

Hershey vs. Austin

I am in NYC at an NHL owners meeting. I had dinner last night with a bunch of folks including Tom Hicks who owns the Dallas Stars. He is very excited about this AHL franchise, and we will now be playing them in the finals — Bears vs. Stars for the Calder Cup.

He sent me a late night email with the results of the game. Kudos to them. What a great entry into the AHL.
