They sounded great last night, but the crowd was fucking lame as hell. The venue was fucked up too. There were only four beer tents for the entire venue of about 3500 people. Thank god I snuck some booze in because I had friends waiting 45 minutes for a beer.
Isn't that the point where you just enjoy the show sober?
Also, not sure how people feel about this, but I walk up to the front of the line at Jets games all the time, hand the person next on line a 20 and tell them if they get me a beer, I'll buy them theirs. It has never failed to get me a sudsy treat.
What's the story on tailgating at the venue in Charlotte? I've done some searches online and can't find anything...
The venue MMJ is playing at is right next door to The Fillmore. They share a parking lot. A lot of people just post up there before the show. I also like going to VBGB (a bar) as well. It is right in between The Fillmore and Time Warner. There are other bars around there as well. Here is a link that has a map of the venue and surrounding establishments.
Im ready for a good show. And the weather is gonna be pretty lovely too. WOO! 2 year anniversary of best show of my life. I love going to Verizon in august. ;D

^ I'm still debating whether to ditch work early, drive down & join you for this...not just because it's MMJ, but because it's our 2-yr concert anniversary!

VBGB sounds cool. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make the decision for the group that that's where we're going to be. We might be taking the hotel shuttle or a cab from the hotel over to the venue unless someone wants to stay not-drunk for the evening (not it!).
I was looking into the venue, I can't believe how small it is... 5K capacity? I thought Verizon Wireless in Alpharetta was small at 11K.
We got Cobra!!! I've been jonesin' for this since Forecastle!!!
It's about to end...they're playimg "Wonderful" & it truly describes how I feel right now!!! Y'all: live music & dear friends are the best things to put a smile on your face & joy in the heart. Oh, and total strangers buying you $12 beers because they like your 'Roo necklace ain't too shabby either!
My going tonight was a total surprise. I was given 4 box tickets by a friend of my sister in law. After the week I've had it was nice to get out and hear some great music.it was wonderful to see Holls and Mayo and meet Meghan and Brendan. I also met the elusive Zapp! I missed seeing Sang and Mrs. Sang though
I needed to take a breather from all the pit action and chill in my seat....I was only at half of my usual 120 percent after this week.
So, apparently Holls left the pit and couldn't get back in...she was upset, so I took off my pit bracelet and gave it to her...then it got confiscated. Then some random guy who was really sweet tried to dance near our seats (it was fine with me), and the security hassled him even after I told him that I was the guy's cousin! Lastly, I almost wasn't allowed in the restroom 15 minutes after the show ended. I'm telling you, the staff working the venue tonight were absolute Nazis.
On another note...I'm gonna be startin' my move to Raleigh on Sunday...and I am very tempted to try and catch their show that night...but I don't have anyone to go with...

I remember saying to a stranger next to me "I hope they play Lay Low, that's one of my favorites." And they OPENED WITH IT! Strangulation! Cobra! Highly Suspicious! Wonderful with Ben from BOH.
Did I mention Band of Horses was fucking awesome too?
Never has driving through 10 hours of misery been so damn worth it!
Every MMJ show is special in its own way because there's always SOMETHING magical that wasn't at other shows or venues. After my 6th or 7th time seeing them, I realized I could never walk away from one of their shows feeling disappointed - not even at Newport when rain shortened their set, or last night when the security goons were raging a-holes. (Srsly? What's the point of VIP if you can't rejoin your friends in the pit? So much for "pulling a Bacon" all night! GRRR!)
DANROO: GO TO THE RALEIGH SHOW!!! You won't regret it! You're never alone when you're surrounded by MMJ fans & Inforoosters! They're there; you'll find 'em.
edit: P.S. - a huuuuuuuuuge thank you to the incredibly sweet, thoughtful, amazing Zen for the ticket! Seeing the show w/her & her daughters, Mayo, Airline, Sang, Zapp & others was an unexpected treat. Yay for the healing power of live music shared w/dear friends!
