History
[edit]DC9 was established in 2004 in at 1940 Ninth Street, Northwest in Shaw. Co-owner Bill Spieler, a DJ, launched the business with Joe Englert and other industry members. Spieler's wife, Amber Bursik is the venue chef and assists Spieler with operational management.[1] Steve Lambert became the booker in late 2006.[2] In 2007, general manager Josh Copeland joined DC9. It is a two-story space formerly occupied by Metro Cafe. Before that, the space contained Club Hollywood and Asylum. DC9 features musicians from the indie music scene.[3] The venue is mostly known for hosting indie rock bands, with a shift towards hosting house music events in its recent runnings. The venue is not known as a gay club, however the venue does attract a wide audience of customers through its variance in events.[4] DC9 hosts karaoke and dance parties.[5] In 2010, a man who had thrown a brick in the venue's window died after being restrained by five DC9 employees. After being initially charged with homicide, Metropolitan Police dropped all charges.[6][7][8] In 2018, DC9 began hosting pop-up bars.[9]
It contains a narrow saloon bar with a digital jukebox on the ground floor. The upstairs is a double-wide concert room.[3] There is a glass-enclosed rooftop bar that opened in 2010.[1][10] DC9 has a no-phone policy at its DJ events and encourages people to check in the phones with their coats.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
