It is the same place. But, yes, the name is Comet Ping Pong. "Famed punk venue"? Is that what genre it is, the bands featured in the pedo-satanic posters? Punk? Must be a pretty obscure subgenre. Have you seen the posters?
Which mainstream sources?
No I haven't seen the posters. But I've been seeing DC-area friends going to shows there to see bands on the same tours I'm seeing, though my tastes tend a lot more towards indie rock / indie pop. I know I saw Speedy Ortiz on the same tour when they were headed there or had just come from there.
Washington City Paper was the link.

Well, do some link-clicking, and look at them.
It should be noted that the City Paper also hosts a video "story" where they harass a vocal critic of Comet Ping-Pong. And maybe it's a reach but:
City Paper
Comet Ping-Pong
"Cheese Pizza"
and I don't have to tell you what else C.P. stands for.
"The owner of Comet Ping Pong is James Alefantis who is, for some reason, ranked #49 in the top 50 ‘Most Powerful People in Washington’ of GQ magazine."
Article in which Frank Winstead calls out Comet for "rape and murder" :
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/rawfis ... _at_p.html
Video FW shot of Comet, citing a traffic hazard, with overblown comments from may be "pizza enthusiasts" and spooky audio:
City Paper "story" where they big him at home for kicking the hornet's net:
From their "timeline photos" folder on facebook? I like a lot of these bands, Ringo Deathstarr, Colleen Green, Acid Mothers Temple, Tacocat, TV Girl, Widowspeak, Mykki Blanco, HR from Bad Brains, etc. It's actually a better venue than I thought before. I didn't see anything satanic though. It all looks to be the work of the same two designers.
I'm not misdirecting about this, I'm a major proponent of Franklin truth, Epstein, and believe that some of the language in some of those emails was too unusual to not be code. But between the logo of two crossed ping pong paddles (I can't count the number of times I've had to design something with two crossed tennis rackets, boat oars, hockey sticks, etc. - it's the standard unimaginative visual cliche for olympic-type sports) and the "secret doors" that are just doors and the risque wallpaper (another cliche in like half the restaurants I go to) I'm not sure about Comet Ping Pong. I don't think the evidence is there yet.

1) This is not what I think of as an appropriate topic for that kind of flippant snark. 2) If you are going to play the role of reflexive debunker, then please try harder.

It was a intuitive criticism of guru's broadside.
I offered to go over salient points with you on the other thread, and you quickly disappeared.
While reasonable minds had a fair discussion.
