			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-749" src="http://blog.musicdetour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fortreno-187x300.jpg" alt="fortreno" width="112" height="180" />Free concerts at Fort Reno Park, near the American University campus, have been a staple of muggy DC summers for more than three decades.  Beginning next week, there will be a show each Monday and Thursday evening through the end of July at 7:15.  Fort Reno Park is near the AU-Tenleytown Metro.  Fort Reno shows are still embued with the spirit of the DC straight-edge punk scene, though a variety of local bands will play.  Dogs and kids are welcome; drugs and booze are not. Crowds can be large, with a wide range of ages represented, though most who come are teenagers who are very lucky to grow up in DC.</p>
<p>The full schedule has been anounced, with a few &#8220;TBA&#8221; slots.  Expect more news, and at least one or two show reviews, in the coming weeks.  More after the jump.  <span id="more-748"></span>Event organizers relase information through  <a href="http://www.fortreno.com/" target="_blank">a website</a> and a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/inbox/readmessage.php?t=1119691365675&amp;f=1&amp;e=0#/group.php?gid=47168432643" target="_blank">Facebook group</a>.  Here is that schedule:</p>

<p>The first band each night will go on at 7:15 and the last band should go off stage about 9:30.</p>
<p>These shows rely upon volunteers and donations to make everything go.  See the Fort Reno site if you wish to donate by check or PayPal.  There are a few specific bands I would like to see added, but I will refrain from sharing my wishlist here to avoid pissing on the whole schedule, which looks great.  As I may learn what bands fill those &#8220;TBA&#8221; slots I will pass along the news here.</p>
