Let's just get this started, Shall we?
Crispy
I will be taking up residence at my cabin in Boulder County that whole week, so any of you fine folks in the Denver area are welcome to visit and/or camp in the days before and after the show. If we have enough of a crowd, we'll call it JacketFestWest! And if Dylan shows up, it'll be official! ;)
This is just the coolest thing ever! My New Year's resolution was to see a show at Red Rocks. Then MMJ go and announce a show there ON MY BIRTHDAY :D :D :D :D :D :D
Good luck to all in the pre-sale!
I'm still nervous about this pre-sale.
BTW- the night before the MMJ show, the Flaming Lips are performing at Red Rocks, and featuring their full rendition of Dark Side of the Moon.

DAMMIT I'm such an idiot. Flaming Lips and Jacket back to back at Red Rocks. I would love to do that, but I'm not a trigger puller and I'm in louisville. Shit.
crispy - thank you for this most generous offer! ya know, it really shouldn't at this point, but the kindness of people in here never ceases to amaze me :)
i've spent the better part of my morning talking myself into road-tripping for this. JacketFestWest @ Camp Crispy sounds mighty fine :beer:

As a notorious trigger-puller, I just bought my ticket to the Flaming Lips show too.
You bet, ynwa! And there will be many :beer: :beer: :beer:

Very cool of you to offer Crispy. 8)
I hope to be back on this thread in about an hour doing a happy dance and offically signing up for JacketFestWest!
Good luck to all trying for tix, and I hope to see you there.
Crap I didn't get any :'(
God I hope there are good tickets for the reg presale or general sale
Well- it turns out (as I am sure you all saw) that they are GA for the first 24 rows. I was going to go ahead and buy a pair, but it would not allow another delivery method except will call. I don't like messing with will call when I am waiting in line to get the seats I want, so I didn't pull the trigger. I will buy the normal way and have the tix mailed to me.
Got two for me and the wife. Fees were only half of ticketmasters fees and they are GA tickets in the first 25 rows. This is my kind of PRESALE! I'm surprised they went that fast bacon. Sorry you didn't get any. These are Will Call only so they buyer is the only person that can use them. Not sure how the scalpers will handle it but they won't be able to sell these type of tickets.

I was in the same boat - I pulled a pair of GA... I was going to buy until I got to the will call part - way too early to figure out for sure if I can be there (that's what 1 days notice does!) and couldn't take the risk of eating the tix.

Never fear, you'll be able to get a GA ticket later with no problem, and those are the ones you want. I went ahead and got two, as I know Seeker will save my spot at the front of the line. :thumbsup:
:D ;D We're in. Hubs pulled 2 GA and I pulled 2 in Row 26. Hello Denver! :thumbsup:
The question is was that the entire allotment of first 24 row GA tics or will those still be available in the other pre-sale and/or reg sale
Keep checking people, they are avail again!
Scored 2 tickets! This will be my first time seeing the Jacket live and first show at Red Rocks! Can't wait!
Whew, that sold out in 5 minutes folks. I got the GA (woot woot) and am fine with will call. I will be traveling with Mr. Wizzard so he holds our spot in line while I go to will call. Voila!
I am so excited!!!! After so many years wanting and pining to see just the right show at Red Rocks, MMJ delivers!
Now where is Soul Shine? I can't wait for JacketfestMountainWest :D
picked up 2 ga. This is turning out to be the best week for me. I just happen to be going out to denver for vacation to see my phillies play the rockies as i am from philadelphia. Then they announce this yesterday. Cant Wait!
usually with the presale they will only allow so many in each section. I doubt all in the ga 1-24 are sold out.
I got 26-4X and 26-4X .. Any idea on the arrangement here? First 25 rows are GA, are all of the rest assigned?
WoHooo Wizzard!
I noticed a 6 pm start time for the Red Rocks show. Is that normal for Red Rocks? I've always wanted to go there, this is perfect.
Do I remember that you can camp there or am I crazy?
Bacon I hope you didn't get mad and turn the computer off. There are still tix!
yeah, keep trying
i spazzed & got 2 RES tix 1st, then went back & it said "sold out", rerfeshed & pulled 2 GA tix! i've got some really sweet RES tix if anyone is interested ;D
just pulled 2 more GA - throwing back in a min
got 4 GA ;) :) :D
Jacketfest WEST is on!

Got 'Em 2 GAs :thumbsup:
I got infor two ga and was willing to do the will call,only to find they don't accept Amex, which is the only card I have. ???
so it's only letting me do will call...which means if i can;t swing it no one will have those tics! not sure man...

I know this makes it a tough call for everyone, but this is kind of cool to me. It means none of these tickets are going to scalpers.

No way will they sell all 24 rows in this presale and then make everyone pick them up at will call an hour before doors. That's 2,000+ seats! I P.M.ed C.C, to see if our "GA will call will be special seating" and he referred me to the Artistwhozit vendor which only had a recording with no more details except to indicate they are available an hour before doors. I think getting GA mailed or at an outlet might cost a bit more, but I prefer not going to the will call booth an hour before doors.
I am glad I can do the GA thing and share/save space with friends who are MMJ newbies who won't be focused on this yet.

I agree - look at great tix available 30 mins later... as much as it sucks for people (like me) who grab seats and then figure out a way to get there.... if it keeps the scalpers away, I'm all for it.
Just picked up a GA ticket. Never been to CO, but this is a bucket list venue for me.

All right...reserve a space for me in the pimp pad. And leave the pretzels at home, Crispy!!
P.S. I have no idea how I'm going to get there. Flights are ridiculous.
You all have a higher opinion of the demand for MMJ at Red Rocks than I do if you think scalpers will be an issue.
And just to clarify - 1-24 will be GA then 25-60 is usually reserved, then GA at the top. I think even row 25 is too high, and a breeze will affect the sound even higher. OTOH, one advantage to sitting higher is seeing the lights of Denver behind the stage, which is cool, but if you are hard-core MMJ, you will want closer.

Thank you so much. You're the best and I hope to return the favor some time . :thumbsup:
Question, since there is more GA at the back, does that mean if you don't get in line quick enough, you may end up in the very back? Or is it separate GA?

Your GA ticket works in either area, and in my experience, it takes a long time for the lower GA to fill up, you don't have to stand in line. I've gone in long after the gates have opened and gotten down there, and anywhere below row 25 is pretty good.
The pad has a spot with your name on it, Ky, but I'm not sure about the pretzels. You'll be hitching a ride with ynwa and the rest of the east coasters! :thumbsup:
I think it is great so many of you are traveling out here for the show at Red Rocks.
The Rockies are also in town that week, a trip to Coors Field is always good too. Catch the Phillies the day before in the afternoon or Washington Nationals the next night.
Count me in for the cabin and JacketFestWest Crispy.
Just let me know what you need and I'll bring it.
What's your beverage of choice?
Next up is some travel plans for us East Coasters.Something else we can bs about at MtnJam ;). I'm planning on flying Newark -Denver sometime Wednesday and returning Saturday.
I was hoping to catch an am flight. If anyone is doing the same let me know. I'll be renting a car and be happy to give you a lift.
Jane +1
always a dream to go to red rocks. time for that dream to come true.
Alright. Kind of messed up. Got my tickets before I read this thread. I ended up getting the Reserved section Row 26 (I think) in an attempt to get as close as possible. I was thinking that the more expensive tickets would be closer. Duh! Should I suck it up and buy a pair of GA's? Big fan from B-lo, NY. Coming to Red Rocks for the first time. Cheers!
I haven't gotten my tickets yet, but I plan on coming out. Thanks for the offer, Crispy, I'll probably take you up on it. Are GA seats still available? With two jobs I'm not as on top of things as I usually am.

This sounds so awesome.....Bob and I are still on the fence for this....we both desperately want to check out this venue, but -- and im being honest here -- i feel totally guilty leaving our daughter in Jersey during summer, and I just don't know if this is the trip for her....so, we shall see....but so happy for all y'all!

Hey, if you can swing it, the cabin is a fine place for chilluns too. In fact, there's a dude/guest ranch just down the hill from our place that you guys might be interested in, and all manner of good family stuff elswhere -- Denver, Boulder, Estes Park. She could go to the show too, right?

I know where you're coming from Trish. When my kids were young I had a hard time leaving them too.
The only times I could were when they were with my parents for their vacation. I still felt guilty,even though it was only for a day or two, once or twice over the years.
I always tried to make it up to them by letting them pick something cool they wanted to do, or someplace to go.Not really a bribe...more like a trade. Ended up seeing more than my share of what they thought was "cool" ;) but I know I more than made it up to them. In fact I'd say they don't even remember me having a little getaway,but they've never forgotten their "fun days".
Hope you and Bob can work something out and join us.

listen to amos lee's latest album released jan 2011 and imagine it being played at red rocks before MMJ.. i think they'll make a great opener
Just arrived in denver, too late to get the pre-sale tickets to Red Rocks, sold-out :'(. Looks like I'll be trying ticketbastard. Flight was delayed fifty minutes leaving NY, another ten minutes & I would have been able to buy the tickets before departure. Hope to get tickets later in the week though, Hope to see you all at Red Rocks.

I'm still thinking bout it. I can't afford to fly and I don't know if I could handle the van ride with a bladder the size of a walnut ( unless It's cool to bring a slop jar ;) ). I would be solo because my wife just started a new job. mmmmm what to do ?

Trucker bombs! ;D
does anyone know if there is any camping real close to RR?? I found one place thats about 3 miles away. Looking to see if there are any places walking distance from a camp site to the concert.

for northeasterners--if ticket prices don't go down, we can always get a conversion van from NJ/NY--i checked prices--cheap for 6 -8 of us, we'd stop in Chi-town on the way and pick up ALady and 2fingers. ha ha....it'll be fun..
;D If I'm in, I'm flyin'. I've done that drive and it is loooooooong!
I'm still thinking bout it. I can't afford to fly and I don't know if I could handle the van ride with a bladder the size of a walnut ( unless It's cool to bring a slop jar ;) ). I would be solo because my wife just started a new job. mmmmm what to do ?
crossing my fingers that airfare comes down, otherwise i'm in the same boat. just on the driving, not the bladder part ;D i'd be down for the van-share, but, i'd prefer to get out there on weds so i'm not totally exhausted for the show & other JacketFestWest activities.
don't mind me, just thinkin out loud here.
Just have to say once again this is going to be the best birthday EVER. Me and 3 friends all got the tickets we wanted.

Nope, no camping (http://www.redrocksonline.com/PUREENTERTAINMENT/FAQ.aspx#Is_camping_allowed_at_Red_Rocks_) in the park. Here's (http://www.redrocksonline.com/PUREINDULGENCE/Camping.aspx) their list of campsites that are closest.
Damn this is a moral dilemma. I just spoke to my daughter and she is totally fine with us going. Ugh. She also said she would like to go, but that she was fun staying w the grandparents too. But now she is saying she would reeeeeeally like to go to the show.
Thanks Crispy and ericm for your ideas! We are in deliberations on this one! This sounds amaaaaaaaaazing and the chance to be with everyone again is just so awesome. Ugh

I'm in...I live in Durango these days and have been waiting for the day to see them at Red Rocks. I've seen them at The Greek, Coachella, Bonnaroo, MSG, The Fillmore, Telluride, T5, Lollapalloza and now THIS. It's on. My Morning Jacket - Red Rocks - 2011 !!!
This will be a great day! Saw them 2 years ago at Red Rocks as an causal fan, after that face melting show i starting listening a lot more.
If you got rez tickets, then you can get in late and go to seats, but if you get to Red Rocks early and ga rows 1-24 are open you may sit there, they only check stubs if you are in rez seating at redrocks.
And if you get to Red Rocks late with a ga ticket, you could be in row 60+, which is fine if you want chill and hang out, but sound can be poor, great view though. Best to get to show early and hit a row within 2-24.
It's been four years since

There is no camping within walking distance to Red Rocks. The other thing you need to know about Red Rocks is you plan on drinking you need to have a designated driver or hire a limo service. There is no cab service or buses that go to Red Rocks. There are only two roads in and they close the roads to inbound traffic half way through the show. I've lived in Denver my whole life and seen a ton of shows at Red Rocks. We got first row of reserved seating so we don't have to worry about getting there early for GA. You don't need to get there super early for a good seat in GA. An hour or two before the doors open and you'll be fine. You can go into the park early and hike around, bike, tailgaite or whatever. Its a fun place to check out. If the forecast calls for rain be prepared and dress for weather thats 20 degrees colder than what it feels like outside. Hope you guys have fun. My wife and I are super psyched. We got tix for RR, Edgefiled and Seattle.

Tailgating at Red Rocks is outstanding, and don't believe that mess on their website about not allowing alcoholic beverages. I think I'm going to be in line to get in pretty early though...

The Rockies have home games against WA all weekend, too. :thumbsup:
B-ball game and Breweries.
I'm definitely going to hit some breweries while I'm there. I may try to get the "insiders" tour. If any of you wanna come along, let me know. I plan on spending about 5 days out there. A ball game sounds good too!

I checked TM last night for Friday night Rockie tix, and there are $60.00 club seats between home plate and 1st base available, all the way down to $4.00 seats way out in the rock pile!
Depends on how much $ you want to spend for a seat, but there were some pretty decent ones in the $30.00 range too.
As for Breweries, I'm in for those too.

I want in on those "insider" brewery tours, you professional, you! Friday may be a good day for that, and a Rockies game on Saturday. Good thing I'm going to be there all week, the schedule is filling up. :D

Lots of good hiking around and close to the cabin, and Estes Park is about 30 minutes north.
The Shining hotel is in Oregon -- the Stanley Hotel that inspired it is in Estes. :thumbsup:
The Shining House is in Estes Park, 1 hour north of Denver. And Rocky MNT NP has some good hiking, it will be very crowded around this time.
Also, some breweries i prefer.
Great Divide (downtown denver)
Dry Dock (Aurora se metro area
Strange Brewing (Denver)
Oskar Blues (tap house or restaurant Both in Longmont)
LeftHand (Longmont)
Avery (Boulder)
New Belgium (ft collings)
Odells (ft Collings)
Most all of these are tap house. Most of these places serve limited food options, if any at all. And there are a bunch more brew pubs in Denver, i just prefer these and there beer.
Can one of you crafty people make a t-shirt with some sort of beautiful sunset image with the boys silhouettes against it? They're playing in such awesome locations this year it's the JacketFestWest: Beautiful Scenery Tour.
I'm down for hiking, brewery, frisbee, whatever.

The regular sale hasn't even started, and I would bet GA and Res tickets will be available all summer.
I'm pretty sure everyone here will have a tix. Eric if you don't score GA in regular sale let me know. I'm still debating whether to bring baby MMJ. Anyone know the rule at RR re "baby in arms" needing a tic?

You're not hijacking, vespa, it says Red Rocks first! :) We might want to have a separate Fest thread...
From the website FAQ:
QuoteAlthough the promoter of some shows may have a different policy generally children under 2 years of age do not need a ticket. They are required to sit on the lap of the adult and to not interfere with someone else's seat. Please keep in mind that some shows may not be appropriate for young children and that children must be supervised closely by a responsible adult.
Looks good, but you're going to have to find a responsible adult somewhere!
;D Sorry, that was funny.

Crap. She may be out of luck. ;D ;D ;)
For those thinking of hitting the Flaming Lips the night before, this is a remainder they will be performing Dark Side of the Moon.
And Primus has Les Claypool, yes?

If we're all down for Rockies on Saturday should we get seats together? I'm down. I'm good with cheap seats, but I can swing the good stuff too.
I asked my boss what micorbreweries I should go to while in Colorado and he said to check out the microbrewery at the Stadium. Doesn't get talked about a lot but really good, he said. They serve the original recipe for Blue Moon. So I'm definitely going to catch a game that weekend.
Brew tours on Friday sounds good. We could "brew hop" in Boulder or Fort Collins.
Sand Lot Brewery is at Coors Field. Not a bad place to chill out and they do have good beer. They are owned by Coors, which can be seen as a - mark by beer snobs. Never the less they do sell small batch beer that is tasty.
Gotta go to Great Divide which is only a couple of blocks from Coors Field. Best Brew pub in the city limits of denver imho. Then you got Breckenridge Brewery and Wynkoop Brewery (John Hickenlooper current CO governor was one of the founders) all within a 5 min walk from coors field. Plus Falling Rock Tap house which has the most beer taps in the best beer city in the usa close by.
The best part of Coors Field is what surrounds it, which is great bars and brew pubs, truly part of the baseball experience.
I usually end up spending more time in pubs then Coors Field when going to a game. You got every kind of bars, Irish, sports, dance clubs, and bars that sell cheap draft beers during games.
I spent a summer cooking at the Stanley....spooky kitchen.....

Sand Lot Brewery is at Coors Field. Not a bad place to chill out and they do have good beer. They are owned by Coors, which can be seen as a - mark by beer snobs. Never the less they do sell small batch beer that is tasty.
Gotta go to Great Divide which is only a couple of blocks from Coors Field. Best Brew pub in the city limits of denver imho. Then you got Breckenridge Brewery and Wynkoop Brewery (John Hickenlooper current CO governor was one of the founders) all within a 5 min walk from coors field. Plus Falling Rock Tap house which has the most beer taps in the best beer city in the usa close by.
The best part of Coors Field is what surrounds it, which is great bars and brew pubs, truly part of the baseball experience.
I usually end up spending more time in pubs then Coors Field when going to a game. You got every kind of bars, Irish, sports, dance clubs, and bars that sell cheap draft beers during games.
when i went to denver last summer we took an extended brewery tour all over the surrounding area.. definitely recommend wynkoop and breckenridge breweries. we watched the rockies game from the breckenridge brewery and they had beer specials going on during certain innings.. nothing like being in the park but we didn't want to go to the game unless we had good seats and it was a last minute trip.
my recommendations for outside of denver: boulder brewery in boulder and tommyknockers in idaho springs.. all very short drives from the city
does anybody know what the KBCO presale is? i have friends that are going to try to get some GA tix and I noticed there is another presale this morning.

LOL love how my name was on this roll call list before I even knew I was going. Sending warm thoughts to my crazy sister for biting this bullet and making the decision for me. So stoked! :)
T5 renunion part deux? Loving this!
warm thoughts? gee, thanks. ::) as the older
opposite of irish twins twin - i know what's best for you. of course you're on the list! ;D so, does this mean you are DEF coming? we need to talk, asap.
really hoping that airfare drops bc i'd love to join in on those other activities. flaming lips/primus on wed, hiking... bar tours - yes please! and maybe i'll even go to my 1st ever baseball game :-X
if anyone gets shut out of GA, or wants RES tix,
i have a pair - row 26. i'd prefer them to go to a forum person in need. PM me if interested, otherwise i'm gonna put them up in the buy/sell tix thread. First come first served, of course.
edit: the RES tix found a good home :)

If we're all down for Rockies on Saturday should we get seats together? I'm down. I'm good with cheap seats, but I can swing the good stuff too.
I asked my boss what micorbreweries I should go to while in Colorado and he said to check out the microbrewery at the Stadium. Doesn't get talked about a lot but really good, he said. They serve the original recipe for Blue Moon. So I'm definitely going to catch a game that weekend.
Brew tours on Friday sounds good. We could "brew hop" in Boulder or Fort Collins.
cheap seats are better for me, too..
if people are really interested, i could probably get the tix (so Sat?)
I'm in for the sat. game and will sit wherever is good for everyone else. We don't have to sit in the best seats, but maybe not the cheapest either? I've never been there, only seen games on tv, but that Rock Pile @ $4.00 per ticket looks like it could be in another county. ;)

Rockpile seats are damn near in Boulder, other outfield seats are available in the $20-35 range, infield will be > $35.
I just bought two GA on the KBCO sale, and paid $100.05 after all charges, so I could get them mailed to me. I am curious what 2 GA total cost yesterday.
I also in a group with 4 season tickets to the Rockies. We divided the games earlier in the week, and I don't have the Friday nor Saturday game, but I can trade a game(s) I don't like for seats nearby on either of those days. These are the first rows in the upper deck behind home plate. My cost is $21 per ticket. I might get a few others in my pool to sell me their "bad games" to trade if you guys and gals are serious about this and need a bunch. We can decide this much later in the summer and get a list put together.
I like all the touring ideas. When I have friends visit I always say "Be sure to see Red Rocks" but you all will have that covered! BTW there is a cool museum inside Red Rocks which shows it's history and lots of displays and photos of the acts that have performed.
If you guys are serious about brewery tours, this is a great deal:
http://www.coloradobrewtours.com/ (http://www.coloradobrewtours.com/)
They'll pick you up anywhere in the Denver area, cart you around to five different breweries, and drop you off. It's an eight-hour deal and the price includes all tastings and tours.
There's a Groupon for it that comes up occasionally too, for $89 (for two people). I'll keep an eye out.
http://www.groupon.com/denver/deals/colorado-brew-tours-denver (http://www.groupon.com/denver/deals/colorado-brew-tours-denver)
Here's a list of the breweries they visit; I'd pick the bolded ;)
Adolph Coors, Anheuser Busch, Avery, Boulder Beer, Breckenridge, Brewery, Bristol Brewing Co, Bull & Bush Brewery, Carver Brewing Co, CB & Potts, Coopersmiths, Crabtree Brewery, Del Norte Brewing Co, Dillon Dam, Dry Dock Brewing Co, Durango Brewing Co, Fort Collins Brewery, Golden City Brewery, Grand Lake Brewing Co, Great Divide Brewery, Grimm Brothers Brewery, Left Hand Brewing Co, New Belgium Brewing, North Star Brewery, Odell Brewing Co, Oskar Blues Brewery, Pints Pub, Pumphouse Brewery, Sandlot Brewery, Strange Brewing Co, Tivoli Union, Tommyknocker Brewery ,Twisted Pine, Upslope, Wynkoop Brewing, and Equinox

Sounds great to me! I like your picks too but I prefer with Odell over Great Divide.
There's not much I prefer over Great Divide these days. Simply outstanding brewery.
A brew tour i do a couple times a year is the Boulder/Longmont tour.
Usually start at Oskar Blues eatery for lunch (they have all there taps plus a great selection of visiting taps).
Then just across the parking lot is Oskar Blues tap house/brewery Tasty Weasel.
Then hit up Lefthand, which is about a mile away. I like their core beers, but really enjoy there limited release/pub exclusives.
Then on to Boulder and hit up Avery.
Avery, Oskar, and Lefthand are extreme brewers, high abv and very tasty. Pace yourself.
If you can still function after these 3 breweries then i would recommend Twisted Pine and Boulder Beer Co. (both in Boulder) which are off the beating path far away from pearl st and all offer great beer.
If you do decide to hit these joins, do your research as most of these are no food, beer only pubs and have hours that are different from bars (ie close early)

Dunno if it's anything like what you had in mind, but it was such a quick fix so I thought I'd give it a shoot! :) At first I had some trees in there as well, if you'd like some trees ;)
A little late to the party but count myself + 4 others to this occasion! :D
I missed the presale but jumped on that shit as soon as they went on sale this morning. We all got GA tickets.
I got my ticket +1! It's official!

TGMC--sweet! i remember we met NYE 08'!
I huess our decision isn't going to be made on this show till August, Carling is in practicum all summer so we're not sure if shw can get the time off. Really hope to head down for this show especially if so many forum folk are going to be there. Don't count us in yet but don't count us out either.
Not to rub it in guys...but I got front row seats for Red Rocks. I kinda wish I didn't have them because I wanna party with all the peeps...but then again, I get to see MMJ from like 12 feet away at Red Rocks! I couldn't turn it down.
I'm gonna make a flag for the event. Look for me.
This is gonna be my 20th show...
Also, I have lots and lots of friends in Denver - if anyone is broke and needs a place to crash with me, hit me up! I can't wait for this shit! If any of you guys have never been to Red Rocks, prepare for a magical night.
How did you score 1st row? It is usually consider GA and reserved for handicap fans and there guest.
I think he may be referring to the VIP section that is actually on stage and to the sides. Mr. Funky?
Edit: Unless they will have the lowest rows roped off...I really hope that's not the case.

Well, I met this chick at Mike Gordon in Telluride a couple of weeks ago. She's a die hard Phish/Yonder/MMJ fan. anyway, we got to talking about Jim James and all of his awesomeness and eventually became friends, took some acid and ran around Telluride like a bunch of goof balls all night. Next morning we joke about meeting up down the road for some shows - she flys back to San Diego and I don't hear from her until this last Saturday when I get a call from some weird number. I pick it up and it's this chick that I met in Telluride telling me to sell my GA tickets because one of their "Yonder" friends is also apart of Red Rocks lawyering firm and this firm gets like 10 front row tickets to every show. She tells me that she's gonna fly in for the show and she wants to party down with me and my girl friend. Boooo YEAH! Good things come to those who wait.

;D wouldn't temp fate - lower extremity injuries seem to be quite prevalent w/ mmj fans :-\
Just bought my plain tickets! :)
Also just found out that there is a bluegrass/beer fest in Keystone where I'm staying on the following Saturday. Since I can't join the Chrispy Cabin :'( maybe I can talk peeps into this fest on Saturday? Probably too far of a drive for a beer fest....

You won't be by yourself for long! We'll have a big tailgate going Thursday, and we've got a small crowd going to the show the night before too.
Count me and my bro in for the camping cabin campout the night after the show!!
SBB beautiful pic!! It reminds me slightly of:

And the parallels of MMJ and the Dead make my heart smile :)
I've been somewhat subconsciously 'looking away' from this beautiful thread, as I hadn't found steady work the past couple of weeks, and I knew my heart might ache to follow such a great experience in uncertainty!
Well, I'm still not quite certain, but!! At least with the new job startin' next week, August 4 is looking a bit brighter! I left Pitt last year on August 8 for the cross-country trip to Cali, and, well gosh darnit seeing them at Red Rocks is certainly on the bucket list! Time to get my travelin' gears crankin' again, Major Scheme Mode commence!!!!!!!
Jacket and The Dead,
put in touch with how I am,
centered and here now.
Great stuff guys! Keep that date open, woody, and keep on schemin'!
Hey pinebarren, you're welcome to camp out at the cabin -- keep in mind that it's about an hours' drive up into the foothills from Red Rocks. It's a drive I've made after many shows and not too bad, but you gotta be awake. ;)

Hard to tailgate if you are in line for a GA show. The line becomes the party! Two years ago I was shocked at how few people were in line in the afternoon. And we got drenched in one hell of a rainstorm too!
That is worth noting...it's rained every time I've been at Red Rocks. Sometimes a brief cloudburst, sometimes torrential downpour...but you know, be prepared and you'll be fine :thumbsup:

Last year when I headed to Red Rocks, it was a pretty significant time... I was going to see Primus on August 12 (a.k.a. the first birthday that my pap was unable to celebrate with us....) And he'd actually passed away while I was backpacking in Yosemite the previous December (had seen the most intense meteor shower that night that I've ever seen in my life) And boy were the clouds brewing up something funky at Red Rocks on his b-day. The lightning in the distance was majorly threatening. And don't you know, after sitting in my car letting about 30-40 mins of gentle rain sweep over, the storm kept its distance, but created this extraordinary two-and-1/2 rainbow system! (a double rainbow.5!)
It's kind of hard to see in these smaller pics, but the top rainbow is one solid beam, and the bow on the bottom actually has two layers to it (note the darker section in the middle where they meet) I like to think it's my Pap just shinin' on down! :)

I will take a torrential downpour with my MMJ Red Rocks experience please :thumbsup:
Confirmed. My birthday in 2011 is going to be spent in Boulder followed by seeing my two favorite live acts back to back at Red Rocks!
question... on Red Rocks website for the flaming lips show it says GA is 1-25 and 61-69. So if I buy GA (which is cheaper than reserved) does that pretty much garuntee I'll be in the very back. It wouldn't even make sense if if gave me the option of the two. I'm confused. I already bought GA tix for the MMJ show and am now regretting that mucho.

My understanding is its first come first serve so if you get there before the opener you are pretty much guaranteed something in the front section

yeah, I think I read that in Science Diagest last month
I got to Red Rocks about 30 min. before the Black Keys (openers) played two years ago and got our seats behind the sound booth, probably row 22 in the center. You do not need to wait in line for gates to open but plan on getting to your seat before the opener starts to get the front section of ga.
I also think MMJ is more popular this time around and will probably sell out the venue, something they did not do last time.
Regardless, you do not want to be in the upper ga. Great views of Denver metro but sound can be bad.
I think if they don't play "The Bear" at Red Rocks they will be making a grave mistake.

It would be the first time they have performed that at Red Rocks. I would love to see it done because I have yet to experience that song live!

Regardless, you do not want to be in the upper ga. Great views of Denver metro but sound can be bad.
Truth. The sound in the top 1/3 of Red Rocks can be pretty poor, especially when it's windy...which is quite often. From up there sound sort of comes and goes and can sound pretty bad.
OK, so my wonderful wife Beth told me tonight at dinner that she thinks that we should just do and fly out from NY to Red Rocks for the show. Who am I to argue?
Someone, please help me out with some good tix. Will gladly pay a fair price for good seats or the pit.

Count me in for the cabin and JacketFestWest Crispy.
Just let me know what you need and I'll bring it.
What's your beverage of choice?
Next up is some travel plans for us East Coasters.Something else we can bs about at MtnJam ;) . I'm planning on flying Newark -Denver sometime Wednesday and returning Saturday.
I was hoping to catch an am flight. If anyone is doing the same let me know. I'll be renting a car and be happy to give you a lift.
See you there, Eric! More details as the summer progresses...
Alright, Dylan! Ima cook you a steak like I told you how to do it. ;) You will be able to get GA tix with no problem when the regular sale commences.
This sounds so awesome.....Bob and I are still on the fence for this....we both desperately want to check out this venue, but -- and im being honest here -- i feel totally guilty leaving our daughter in Jersey during summer, and I just don't know if this is the trip for her....so, we shall see....but so happy for all y'all!
Hey, if you can swing it, the cabin is a fine place for chilluns too. In fact, there's a dude/guest ranch just down the hill from our place that you guys might be interested in, and all manner of good family stuff elswhere -- Denver, Boulder, Estes Park. She could go to the show too, right?
Crispy- My wife and I are gonna do it? Do you if there is room at the dude ranch and how to get in touch with them?

SWEET! The name of the guest ranch is Peaceful Valley (http://www.peacefulvalley.com/), and I'm sure they'll have availability. As for tix to the show, I think you'll want GA tickets with the rest of us, and they should still be available (can't get to the TM website right now). It's gonna be great to see so many peeps at this thing!
got our wristbands in the mail yesterday... :)
Got our GA tix this morning, booked our airline tix out of LaGuardia and we are good to go!!!

No pity party needed as you guys are gonna have a real blast at the Hangout Festival.
Make you a deal Trish -- if you and Bob toast to us in Alabama and bring our spirit to Hangout, we will return the favor and do the same for you guys at Red Rocks.
We will regroup and reunite on the east coast on the (pray) soon to be announced fall tour.
fall dates! fall dates! fall dates! optimism!

(What'd you go and bump Steamy for? ;))
I haven't had time to post for a bit.
As luck would have it, my national sales meeting is scheduled at the same time so I'm going to have to think of a good excuse to leave a day early. Will be flying out from Ft. Lauderdale either the night before or morning of the concert.
Any Floridians joining me on the flight? :beer:

No worries, i'm just sad that i can't have an awesome handle like Jane Cool. i'm just standard. just Jane.
so0o0o0oooooo ....
i'm starting to contemplate going to this over phish @ the gorge. there are alot of reasons but ultimately it'd be alot easier for me, i've never been to CO / red rocks before, and i have several friends out there that i need to visit. i'd love to stay with you all @ chez crispy but i don't have any camping gear (hello, nyc'er w/o a car) and some friends of mine that live there might want me to stay with them. they are serious music fans .. in fact they just got hitched AT red rocks last weekend ;D
also ... i need to find a ticket 8)
Tix are still available and I'd be happy to lend you an extra sleeping bag Brooke. Make it happen.
well i DO have a sleeping bag, i got that part covered :thumbsup: good to know that tix are still available.
question: is GA the most desirable? i'd assume yes but i've never been to red rocks. i guess if you are up front you miss out on some of the scenery during the concert. there are a ton of GA tix on stub hub for what a ticket should cost after ticketmaster fee's (or just $10 more) :P
Me thinks most of us going got GA tix - we did. Got seats for the Flaming Lips tho.
Whoooa, what happened to ME??? front and center!

I'd say yes, and there's still plenty of scenery if you're up front. You can always look back up the slope every now and again too (if you can tear your eyes away from the stage)!
And I think there are still GA tickets available on Ticketmaster, right?

I doubt we have enough. It's really the airfare we're concerned about. The rest we can figure out. Hell, we'll even just pack a tent and slouch around the rockies until showtime if need be.
What makes her even more awesome was her idea of what we can do: "see Colorado and the rockies, go to breweries, and see MMJ"

My wife just emailed me saying after taking a few weeks to mull it over, she'd really like to make this our summer vacation. So let's see if we can afford it. If so, see y'all there.
my wife and i booked a room at the sheraton which i'm told is 6 miles from red rocks. we got the whole place on "points" from credit cards and stuff if that helps.
I doubt we have enough. It's really the airfare we're concerned about. The rest we can figure out. Hell, we'll even just pack a tent and slouch around the rockies until showtime if need be.
What makes her even more awesome was her idea of what we can do: "see Colorado and the rockies, go to breweries, and see MMJ"
chode, we're all keeping an airfare watch so if/when the prices come down, we'll let you know..lots of us waiting for the flights out of NJ/NYC area..maybe you can decide later :-)
i've got a notifier set up on KAYAK's iphone app that lets me know when the airfare goes up or down for flights from where I am to Denver, CO.
I'm trying to save all I can where I can so I can afford to hit the breweries and a rockies game in downtown denver on the weekend after the show and jacketfestwest

Here's how it's looking - roughly 1 month til I get my bar results. Assuming that's favorable, my job prospects will expand. That's the real obstacle. Student loans kick in in June, so I need to be rolling by then. A lot of the doc review jobs I've been seeing are paying decent, but require a bar admission. As long as I've passed and I can land one of these doc review contracts, I think we'll be able to swing it. In the mean time I"m just toiling away at whatever temp positions I can get, but I've got a wedding this weekend that will take a chunk out of my budget since I'm in it.

if you can cut 80 dollars a week off your budget that's 1380 dollars.. i know for me I plan on staying around the house during the weekdays (hangout fest week excluded) to work out in the yard and catch up on some TV shows.. and hit the beach on the weekends which is pretty cheap to do if you do it regularly.. i'm also recycling beer cans to offset the cost of gas prices
$1380
-$50 ticket
-($500-550 airfare per person)
= still some money left over to do shit
I don't even think we have a budget to cut from. Things are so tight that our only social experience is monday night trivia which we allow ourselves to each have one beer. i don't go anywhere so i don't have to pay for gas.
Not meant to complain, it's sort of been this way for a decade because I've been a student for about that long.
However, it's a good thing I never took the job I was discussing with some of you because that would not have afforded me the time or money to go.

question... on Red Rocks website for the flaming lips show it says GA is 1-25 and 61-69. So if I buy GA (which is cheaper than reserved) does that pretty much garuntee I'll be in the very back. It wouldn't even make sense if if gave me the option of the two. I'm confused. I already bought GA tix for the MMJ show and am now regretting that mucho.
My understanding is its first come first serve so if you get there before the opener you are pretty much guaranteed something in the front section
If you get there by 6 PM you won't have a problem getting in the lower section. If you have GA you do want to make sure you get the lower section. My wife and I got reserved since were coming from work. Plus if it rains we can wait it out. Most of the time if it does rain it will only last for 20 minutes but you will freeze your ass off.

(What'd you go and bump Steamy for? ;))
oopsie! totally accidental - i copied & pasted from the pre-steamy list post.
i apo-lo-gise ;D
I may be looking into going to the Flaming Lips show also, now that I have my seats to the MMJ show. Thanks again LIZ :thumbsup:.
:thumbsup: sure thing! come to the flaming lips - there's a nice little sub-group of us forming. should be good times :beer:
I gotsta take the bar next summer. Gotta keep living the student loans mythical dream until then and act like they don't exist.
I'm signed up for the Kayak and Priceline price watch also. Heading out from Newark - Denver. Roundtrip started at $375.00. dropped to $322.00, and are now at $343.00.
There are three flights that I'm following, leaving Tuesday 8/2, and there are still plenty of seats available on all three. It seems that these same flights hit their cheapest at around 4-6 weeks from departure, which at last look was right at $300.00.
I'm going to hold off booking to around 4-6 weeks out, unless the flights start to fill up quickly,or fares drop to $300.00 or less.
With the way gas is going up, I am not sure airfare is going down in price...
Personally, I think $325-350 is reasonable for a roundtrip from NYC...

I agree. I thought a few weeks ago that $375.00 wasn't too bad either.
I'm hoping the flights don't fill up, and the airline will drop fares some, rather than fly a 1/2 filled plane. If not, I'll be happy with $325.00 - $350.00.

Thomas! Is that you? Its 4 days short of a year since I pulled my rental car next to you and your crew in the Chastain parking lot and started playing my Omnichord. How the f*** are you? Not that I didn't have 100 reasons to wish I was going to Red Rocks; now I've got 101. My best to you and a healthy MMJ touring season.

Went to a wedding this weekend, reconnected with some old friends from Vail. One is going to his first Jacket show, strongly suggested I go with.
Then I got a call yesterday to come in for an interview based on a phone interview I thought I blew.
Maybe the Gods have plans.

We'll have to discuss this more at Mtn.Jam and see if we can work this out. :thumbsup:
The flights I've been watching all leave on Tuesday the 2nd and the fares are the same for each flight. I'm up for catching anyone of them, but the early am would be last on my list.
Just got a price drop alert on these flights. They're down $9.00 from a week ago. Now at $334.00 non-stop roundtrip. :beer:

this thing has gotten OUT OF CONTROL---and i like it that way..
i totally spaced on the fact that this show is on a thursday. i could still make it work but my vaca isn't really supposed to start until saturday (if everything goes the way i think). i could maybe fly out wednesday night though .. stay in the denver area until monday (seeing the show, visiting other friends and hanging w/ you freaks [said with the upmost love and adoration naturally]) and then fly to 'bama to visit family and work on my tan for the week. we shall see !!

And then we wake up on some mystical island that travels through time, randomly slipping to the start times of different Jacket shows throughout history (past and future)?
Also, I don't have the specs, but my wife is claiming that we can do airfare + hotel for Sunday-Sunday of that week for $1,000. She obviously has not calculated the potential tab at Oskar Blues Brewery, but whatever. I'll let her keep planning.

what's the lowest airfare from the NYC area y'all have seen? there is a groupon for southwest (spend $40, get $80 off) and i found a flight for a little over $300... not sure if this is good/great?
Who's flying in on the 2nd? I would like to meet up with people and go grab drinks on my birthday with you guys. I've never been to Denver, so if anyone knows any cool breweries to go to I'd appreciate it.

if you have a car its definitely worth it to travel up to Oskar Blues and New Belgium. I've never been but I do enjoy their beers. There are some other good ones but they are slipping my mind...
I wont have a car until after the shows when our friend from Boulder comes and hangs out, but sounds like a plan.

yikes totally didnt read the fine print. thank you for pointing that out!
This event should get filmed. Should we do like 50 different camera fan film??
i just happen to check the cost of flights even though i already booked a couple weeks ago and the tickets through southwest dropped 100 dollars. i called them up and they gave me a credit of 100 dollars to use on a different flight. Thank you Southwest!

The last Kayak/Priceline fare I saw was $307.00 non-stop Newark - Denver, leaving 8/2.
Hey guys,
The Groupon for that Colorado brewery tour I mentioned is back up. Only like 11 hours left to buy, so if you're interested, get on it!
I'm told you should request "Gus" as your driver if possible. ;D

you want to go to Red Rocks.

If the Flaming Lips weren't playing DSOTM the night before at RR I would jump at this in a minute. Hit priceline last year for the PJ show in St Louis & the 4 star hotel was under $60 :D . I get free air travel + an easy, cheap train ride to a hotel, so it would be a no brainer. I'm still tempted because of the size of the theatre 8). I am a bit disappointed the RR show is now at the back end of 3 days of travel shows in a row :-\.

The Lips ARE playing DSOTM at Red Rocks!
From their web site: Including a special performance of "Dark Side of the Moon"
I'm stopping in St. L for my bday then flying to Denver for Flips and MMJ. Gonna be a great week!
Denver peeps... Whats a good place to stay for 2 nights if hitting RR. I guess since I'm not really spending time in Denver I might as well get close to the mountains. I'm only gonna be there the days of the shows and then catchin a bus up to Boulder to visit friends. Anyways, what area of town is close to RR and cheap, or reasonable? Thanks!
I'm considering this... Will report back!

@ Crispy. My girlfriend and I are traveling up your way Tuesday August 2nd. We're looking for a place to stay while we're in Boulder. We're gonna jump on the party bus at 5pm. Hopefully we show up early enough for good seats.
gots to get our res. at the dude ranch going real soon...
I am posting this on two threads- who is going to be like me and go to BOTH PJ20 and the MMJ Red Rocks show?

i'm answering in two threads - this guy! (plus 1 to both)
Just heard that Amos Lee is opening for MMJ at Red Rocks.
He is an awesome, talented singer songwriter with 4 really good albums. Mellow, but really talented guy.
Amos is also opening up for Lucinda Williams on many of her tour dates this summer. She has a duet with him on his new album.

I'll be going to both also. These 2 events + heading to Montreal for a PJ show on my Birthday :thumbsup: will be my highlights of the year 8).
Wow, I'm totally late on the RR roll call train! The hubby and I have our tix. We are coming into town on the 3rd but are still on the fence for TFL/primus show. We will at least be tailgating that day and would love to meet some more fans! We hung out a bit with crispy and a few others in '08 and have been trying to hook up with AMD since Telluride in '07. Is anyone camping at Indian paintbrush campground at Bear creek lake? I think that's where we'll be crashing.
Crispy I hope you're still reserving a spot for me in the champagne room. No flight yet, but I'm planning...
Just 2 more months away, folks! :D
Looking at Red Rocks ticket sales, you can still get a pair for MMJ on row 44 reserved, out of rows 25-60 which are the reserved. Flaming Lips is now selling row 60 plus GA, Soundgarden is sold out of reserved rows, but some GA are available. Avett Bros./Grace Potter is sold out of everything.
So I think good tickets for MMJ will be available all summer, but last time they played at RR it looked pretty full. Of course, if Circuital gets traction on the radio, that will accelerate sales.
thats good, because i have friends that are really lolly gagging around with tickets. If they end up missing out on F'Lips tickets I may be trying to hang with some forum folks

Hell yeah! You have a warm, dry place to sleep all reserved. =)
(sorry, didn't see this earlier)
So I think I mentioned before that my national sales meeting is during the same week as this in FL. It turns out my last day there (morning sessions) is the same day as the show. We are not supposed to book flights out before 3pm. Major bump in the road. I had to ask my manager for approval to leave early & she agreed! Best part is that I was able book my flight this morning from ft lauderdale direct to Denver. Leave FL at 7:30am & arrive in Denver at 9:30. The company pays the cost of whatever my roundtrip would be from jersey so I only end up having to eat about $100. I might even be able to expense that too.
Happy day :)

Happy day, indeed! It will be so good to see everyone. I'll probably book a flight this weekend after I iron out some details and find a ride to the airport.
Thanks, Crispy!!! ;)
Outstanding! As this creeps up -- Lil sis (and others flying in), do you have transportation plans from the airport? Either this thread or the facebook event page might be a good place to handle logistics for that for those who will need it. Depending on how many I have in my car, I might be able to make a run to the airport before heading to Red Rocks.

we were speaking about it this weekend and i think if we're all aiming to get in Tues night, we can share a rental car---? (ky-think you're coming in wed AM so someone can pick you up i'm sure)..
also emailing with soulshine last week and she was recommending renting the party bus thing from your cabin, crispy..we have enough people going i would think? (HH if you guys wanna drive over and hop on, too>)...we should look into it for wed and thurs night or at least thurs night...that way no one has to worry about drinking...? we should book it early since there are a lot of us. crispy's place could be the pre-tailgate (and then those not staying at crispy's can make their way there to join the bus) ....just might make it easier? i don't have much experience with party buses but i'll give it a whirl..

Yeah...I'm hoping for Weds midday. If someone could pick me up, that would be excellent. Will gladly throw some cash your way to help with the rental cost.

great idea penny. we rented a car and are staying nearby at a sheraton but i'd be glad to drive both nights to crispy's cabin and chip in for a party bus to red rocks. after all, it's gonna be a party, why drive?

Haven't worked those details out yet. How far is your place from the airport? If it's not too far then I could probably just get a cab...
or ynwa can figure it all out for me ;)
The party bus sounds like a good idea, and I would guess soulshine is sure they would be okay with going to and from the cabin, since she does know where it is. I'll give her a shout about it. That's the sticky part about this, because it's about an hour's drive up from Denver or Red Rocks, and at least 30 minutes from Boulder. Definitely not a cab ride, lil sis. We are going to have a few people up there with cars, and looks like a few are renting, so we'll be able to arrange rides to/from the airport.
I think I posted a link to the google map early in this thread, but here it is again: JacketFestWest Map (http://goo.gl/maps/nESA)

ky - We were talking about this at Mtn. Jam.

Any idea what time you're getting in? We could probably just hang around and wait for you.
I'm in for the party bus. :thumbsup: Hell, we'll have a party plane, might as well have a bus too!! ;)
i think i'm gonna take my time and see some sights on a drive over with my dog and get there wednesday around noonish.. but don't think i want to hit up the FLips/Primus show..
that would mean I'm requesting to pitch a tent or something out back of the bald one's (crispy's) place in boulder. I think I might rent a 8 man tent from the camping place on the base i work at and stay up in boulder wednesday and thursday night..
whoever's not going to the flaming lips show can roast marshmallows over a campfire and share ghost stories with me.
early (ouch) friday morning after the show i think i'll drive with my dog up to cheyenne (hour north of denver) to stay with my brother and his wife. my pup and bro's dogs have only skyped each other so they'll get to spend some quality time with each other while i'm out doin it up in downtown denver which i hear is phenomenal this time of year!

I'm sure you can rent one cheap on base, but just thought I'd offer, I've got a 5 man you're more than welcome to borrow if you need.
Got our cabin at the dude ranch booked yesterday... :)

Wow, Eric that's really generous of you! I JUST booked my flight and get in at 11:30 Wednesday. Keep me posted on the plans and if that will work out. I'll pitch in for the rental, too.

I was leaning towards a hotel by the airport for Tuesday night. I'd much rather make the drive to Crispy's cabin in the daylight Wednesday, instead of late night Tuesday after a long flight. I don't think it'll be a problem to wait til you get in. I think your 11:30am arrival will still leave us plenty of time to get to the cabin and hang for a bit.
I'll keep you posted on the exact times, hotel, meeting place,etc. as we firm up the plans and get closer to JacketFestWest!!
Are you in for the Primus/Flaming Lips? I didn't see you on the sub-Roll Call.

Hey Tyler, I saw this earlier but forgot to respond, so here it is. You are way welcome to come up and camp out at the cabin any nights you want to -- but the place is actually about 45 minutes up into the mountains from Boulder, and Boulder is down on the flats (check out the map (http://goo.gl/maps/nESA)). You'll just want to keep that in mind for timing I guess. Getting to Cheyenne from the cabin will take almost 2 hours, I think.

woah, a lot has been added since i last checked this thread. and i like all of it!!! i'm hoping to fly out on the tuesday party plane too & would love to do the joint car rental. maybe we should get 2 what with all the people & our luggage...
unfortunately lil sis & i missed the planning session @ mtn jam & there wasn't too much time for discussing, well, much of anything ;) has anyone booked their (tuesday) flight yet?
also very down w/ going in on renting a party bus to and from the show. it's a really good idea being that it's a bit of a drive & the show related activities and whatnot. there will definitely be enough of us to fill one up. good idea gang :thumbsup:
i'll be going to pick up lil sis at the airport thurs morning, so if anyone else is flying in then let me know so we can coordinate transport.
so effing excited... :D :D
Just checking in and reading everyone's plans. Keep in mind that lines start forming in the afternoon for the G A seats.
Also- my kids went to Bassnectar last Saturday and they report there were heavy-duty searches. It was a lot more than just the usual quick look in bags. My daughter's BF had his headband taken away, son's GF had pot confiscated, etc.
Now, maybe this was done on Bassnectar's orders. The poor dude has been pelted like crazy by glowsticks wars-- (just search YouTube Bassnectar + glowsticks). Maybe someone who has been to other RR shows this summer can report on whether this is a new policy for all shows.

I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if that happened. I haven't heard anything like that except in my own fantasy -- although it could be done with the multiple entrances into the amphitheater.

I didn't buy at the Roll Call pre-sale because it only allowed for will call pick up, and I didn't want to mess with that on show day. The will call booth is at the bottom of the complex, far from where I like to wait in line. So I bought my GA tix from TicketMaster and already got them in the mail. There was no mention of any special Roll Call lines or seating or I would have reconsidered. I will be pissed if they changed things after the fact. Perhaps the roll call tickets will be specially printed souvenirs but that wasn't enough to justify going to will call for me.
Spoke to a guy who went to Dispatch at Red Rocks and he also complained of more intrusive searches. He was told it was because of a new guy in charge of security. Some ladies at Ray Lamountagne (sp?) however, said it not bad, so I don't know. I bring this up because nothing is more irritating than being delayed for searches while you see others running in and grabbing prime seats, even if you are using "mules" who come in later carrying stuff.
I did the Red Rocks trip from Vegas (gorgeous drive) a few years ago, and if i can still get a ticket, i am tempted to do it again... anyway, wanted to give the people who ain't been to Red Rocks Amp before a word of warning... "WEAR SOME WASP REPELLENT", god damn biguns too buzzing around them Amp steps EVEN in the evening ;)
Got a couple of tickets for Red Rock. Been a good while since i used this Forum, some kind soul please add me to the roll call for the MMJ show................wasp repellent "here i come....yippee!!!"

I'll be going in on a rental car with some others here. I think we're planning on staying in Denver Tuesday night, getting the car Wednesday am/noonish, and driving up to Crispys cabin for a couple of days.
Looks like we'll be getting a party bus from there for the Jacket show and possibly the Primus/Flaming Lips show too.
I don't know our exact eta on getting into Denver or the rest of the plans, but I'll keep you posted. I don't think it'll be too much trouble squeezing one more into the car.
If the party bus happens, it will probably be leaving from Soulshine's place in Boulder -- I can't imagine them going up to the cabin for a reasonable price, but we'll see.
I think ewind will have at least one partner in crime with him.
Watch the G A land rush at Red Rocks from Saturday's Widespread Panic show. Been there, done that, many times.

i saw this!! My friend was there all 3 nights and completely appalled at this (and he's an avid concert goer) That's such BS! ..i don't think it would fly anywhere on the east coast. guess we're gonna have to bring our tarps..

That would be nice. ;D
I dunno. That last night at T5 was a little like a midnight sale at Walmart, with a race to the rail and the merch table for posters. No tarps, though. I suspect it will be a tad more civilized, no doubt.
That thing with the tarps has gotten mainly big among the jam band crowd. It enables people to save room for their group, allows for some extra fluidity so you can move about, dance, and party with your friends, and it helps establish turf vs. the inevitable tide of drunks filtering down during the show. I can see both sides of the argument about tarps.
I wouldn't expect it to be quite that crazy for the MMJ show. Tarps or no, there is that mad rush when the GA section is in the front.
if someone in GA pulls out their tarp to save spots for their friends coming 2 hours later, i'm going to laugh and set it on fire....not sure why this bothers me so much..
at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest in SF it was weird and the same way. ..it's a sleepy free festival, i can see that...people come and set up their stuff all day and leave it and walk around....so you have to go up and step on their blankets to get anywhere up front even though they're 2 stages over--when they come back, you have to move..that is tolerable because it's free and bluegrass and a sit down/picnic kinda thing.
That shit is effed up! So what happens if my big toe encroaches on someones tarp? Do I have to go in front of a special council and beg for mercy? Or do I just not get passed the left hand cigarette the next time around? Do they put there name on the tarp cause they are all blue? So many questions. I always feel strange when I see thousands of people do something all at once, that I've never known about before. How can that many people know something that I don't? I guess if someone dies from running down the bleachers they can just wrap them up in a tarp and keep partying?
damn how am i gonna get a poster and still be able to see in THAT

the only jacket fans who'd try that are tbd and bobster because they need to make room for their sparkly hula hoops..
I've been to lots of shows at Red Rocks and never witnessed anything like that, however there have only been a few that I waited in line at the gates for and was never that close. In fact, the MMJ show in 2008 was the only one I hurried inside for and that's because I came in all the way at the top and was pretty far back in line. Still, I think we got to the 8th row.
The tarp thing is total bullshit and I will join Penny in treating them to my lighter (unless it's trish and bob's). I doubt seriously we'll see much of those, but I'm sure there will be quite a rush for the front rows when the gates open.
I'm making up 50 buttons with this design for the show. Already got em printing...

Had this mental image in my head all day and I would just randomly laugh. It got me through 12 hours of work...thank you. Also...you're sweet on the outside, but I saw your feisty side at hangout when that girl tried to get in your space at the DBT show. You turned around and sliced your arms through the air and mouthed: "No....nooo..." Greatness. I wouldn't put it past you to light something on fire.

I agree with you. Don't get their scene...don't understand it at all. The Jacket crowd HAS GOT TO BE better than that. I mean, hell, strength in numbers and no fool on this board is going to pull that kind of stunt, right?
Nice button design, ewind! I am hoping to get a t-shirt design off the ground if I can get more than an hour not at work, babysitting, shopping for a new car, work, or out drinking copious amounts of beer. :beer:

I would say it's more of a jam band thing. They do this at String Cheese Incident shows I've gone to too. Would not be surprised if it happened at Phish and Furthur. in prior years. Probably a lot of the same people.
The thing is, are you going to say you can't save room for friends that are coming later that you plan to sit with? Some people have to work during the day. I like having the spouses to come later with fresh food. Agreed that two people saving for ten might be a bit greedy.
silly panic kids, never seen or heard of the tarping before. i have mixed feelings about it honestly. if you want to save seats then buy a seat. that tarping crap is BS! or just be man and save the seat...makes me think of the seinfeld episode about saving seats...
i dont have GA tickets and if someone tarps my area there are gonna have more than handful of some mississippi boys and girl getting straight gangsta up in the joint. honestly, leave the tarps at home, im not gonna trip your gf running for the front row, maybe if i was in line for a beer but not the seats..jk..
whatever happened to the good old days? cant wait to get out there and soak it up.

I think once you get above the first couple of rows, saving ONE seat for somebody who couldn't wait in line is kosher. Down front, that is not very cool, but I bet you'd still get away with it. Penny has it right, and it'd much cooler if you buy beers for the peeps around you.
I just watched the video from that link and was amazed at how crazy some people are with those tarps. I've never seen that anywhere or at any concert I've been to. I hope you all don't have that happen to you at the MMJ show. I couldn't tell from the video but is there a pit or seats up close to the stage?

The hell, are you some kind of hippie yourself, BH? "Hey man, like, my seats are under your most excellent tarp, could you be so kind as to to misappropriate someone else's location? Thanks, man!" Way too peaceful. ;)
Oh, answering the Dude's question, there's no pit, the first row is as close as you get except for the VIP seating to the sides of the stage. Probably the only drawback at Red Rocks; even from the first row, you're a little removed.
splat is just very emotional about his jacket. chill out peps. the tarpers are entering a world of pain....but for the most we are calmer than you are dudes...had to throw some BL in the mix...it always lightens the mood.

Guys & Girls I was joking around. I am a very polite person and will much too stoned to get into a physical altercation, much less my first physical altercation ever.
Although you were mistaken about one thing: "they" are the ones who don't want any by-the-hair dragging. Damn hippies.

1 person in line becoming 10 is bad form. this was a chronic problem in the T5 line. if you want to pre-game, do it, but don't come up to the front of the line 10 minutes before doors and make someone be the jerk by letting you get in line.

Fantastic work!
Wow-heck of a discussion.
No one ever tarps in the reserved section. Why would they do that? Besides, there is a typically a rope across the 24th row, so you know where reserved starts. OTOH, if you are into MMJ enough to be reading this board, you will not be happy in the 24th row or higher. The rows are wide and 24 is like row 35 in a normal shed. A bit of breeze will definitely impact the sound the higher you go. But Reserved are OK to add to the GA mix. They don't check your tix except if there is a conflict over reserved. However, definitely do not forget to climb up a ways during the evening to see the epic view of the Denver area's lights behind the stage; just don't watch the show from there.
I have certainly participated in this for jam band shows, but tarps are much rarer for other shows.
Me thinks some of your preconceptions about tarps are not quite accurate. First, it is only partially for saving space for later arrivals. Typically, if used for that, it's a two or three for one ratio. For Wilco last year, I was with a buddy, and we saved room our wives, two friends, and my two kids, so that was 2 holding for a total of 8. BUT- we also headed for my favorite spot, which happens to be about the 8th row right next to the soundboard (why-that is, is another discussion). When we went in, the initial rush was for the first 5 rows, and a tarp probably would have been controversial, because there were not many tarps there for Wilco. We were fairly established with the tarp taped down before it was really too crowded.
I understand about the fact most on this thread are coming from a great distance and want to sit close without tarps blocking off a bunch of space. Rest assured if you are willing to wait in line early enough you will get great GA spots. That's why I said about ten pages ago, the party is in the line, not the parking lot, for the hardcore. And I'll bet MMJ will not attract the early birds and intensity nearly as much as Widespread Panic. They sell out three nights in a row within a day every year. And typically the mad rush will consume the first few rows and holding that turf for more than a friend or two will be difficult. (More difficult is dealing with drunken crashers later).
Now having said that, if you are willing to sit up a few rows where tarps are less likely to be controversial, there are some nice perks. When I go to jam band shows, I generally hang with a crew of 12-20 people, that are the same group for all the jam shows. We usually lay a couple of tarps over 3 or so rows. Rugs and blankets go on the tarp so it's comfortable if you want to go (dance) barefoot. During the show people generally treat the area like a party, moving about and grooving and sharing the vibe with different friends at different times. And frankly, it is less crowded and more comfortable. When you look out to the edges where the later arrivals are, they are jammed packed.
It sounds like at least twenty or more of you are very familiar with each other from traveling to other shows. I have similar long-term friendships with about 100+ Who "travelers". It will be great to meet so many of you in a similar fashion and connect you to your internet identities.
My point is, a coordinated effort by the people on this board could secure a similar kind of arrangement. Sort of establishing your own roll call section. And since you will be all here at the same time, the tarps won't be used that much for saving space, but rather to make it a comfortable communal party area, that is not jam packed.
Just sayin'
Charles
I could not be more against this whole "tarp" thing and really hope that it's not like that at the MMJ show. For me, it's simple - if you want a good GA spot, get there early..... saving spots and cutting in lines is for suckas.
Hey, good info, Charles. I think we will end up with a healthy crowd of peeps all rocking and dancing and freaking out together in front, much like we did at T5, but with a lot more room in front and behind. The WIDE benches do make for a nice roomy environment but do cause the view to move backward in a hurry. I don't know if we'll be marking out territory, but it will be a party, no doubt about it!

But you're absolutely right. You guys camped out most of the day at T5 and the rest of us (10th Ave 10) were out and about and then got in the back of the line wherever we arrived. It's not cool to jump especially when people make it a point to get there early, grab a spot and hold it. Common concert etiquette. Same if you decide you MUST be on the rail an hour into the show and elbow your way forward. Jags. ::)

remember the guy that politely rocked his way up to the rail just for "lay low" at T5 and then obediently shot back behind us after the song was over.. he said it was "his song"

1 person in line becoming 10 is bad form. this was a chronic problem in the T5 line. if you want to pre-game, do it, but don't come up to the front of the line 10 minutes before doors and make someone be the jerk by letting you get in line.
now putting away my line-monitor hat & sash.
But you're absolutely right. You guys camped out most of the day at T5 and the rest of us (10th Ave 10) were out and about and then got in the back of the line wherever we arrived. It's not cool to jump especially when people make it a point to get there early, grab a spot and hold it. Common concert etiquette. Same if you decide you MUST be on the rail an hour into the show and elbow your way forward. Jags. ::)
remember the guy that politely rocked his way up to the rail just for "lay low" at T5 and then obediently shot back behind us after the song was over.. he said it was "his song"
that was awesome
HAHAHAHA! Yessssss. That was great. ;D "politely rocked" Best way to put it.
Remember the guy who stood near the front behind ms. y and crispy wearing a beanie and earbuds and had this hard expression the entire show? Weirdo...

if someone in GA pulls out their tarp to save spots for their friends coming 2 hours later, i'm going to laugh and set it on fire....not sure why this bothers me so much..

Careless? That was perfect synchronized air-chord, my friend. Flawless. I haven't done it since, as I'll never achieve such perfection again.
Who ever heard of a crowd letting some schmuck from 7 deep take the rail, even for one song? You guys made it happen. Thank you.

Wow- couldn't sleep and really blathered last night.
It looks like a crew from this thread will be able to check it all out at Flaming Lips, which is selling slightly faster than MMJ. I haven't decided on that one yet, though it would be fun to get acquainted if everyone is planning on hanging together. How bad do you all want good GA seats for the Lips?
Im fucking STOKED to see the Flaming Lips perform the dark side.... I missed it at 'roo 10. However, because of travel plans I don't know how early I'll be able to get there.
Whats the curfew at Red Rocks

As of now you can't find a ticket at ticketmaster for the Flaming Lips show at Red Rocks :'(. I'll keep on trying, now that I know I'll be in Colorado a week before the show. Tickets were available last week but I couldn't pull the trigger :-\.
No Flips show for me...kind of regretting it now. Maybe at ticket will pop up before then and I can get to the show. Can I still go for the partying and just hang around the venue? I'm down for that.
On a completely girly side note, I bought the cutest gingham print dress today to wear for the MMJ show. :)
Flights booked!! Woohoo ;D
I couldn't find a decent Tuesday flight, so coming out Wed. arriving 7:30 am. No luck with a Sunday return, so I'll be returning Sat.5:45 pm. Bummed that I'll have to pass on the Saturday night Rockies game, but really looking forward to the shows.
Less than a month and counting. ;)

on the same flight, my friend...
i was going to start researching the transportation for the Flaming Lips/MMJ shows to/from Red Rocks---so is the consensus NOT to book it from Crispy's place? ...but then we'd all have to find transportation to Soulshine's in Boulder...i need some geographical clarification on this----
if the party bus is picking us up in Boulder, we'd still need drivers to drive everyone from Crispy's to Boulder..
also, just checking as to whether everyone still wants to do this?..we need to leave EARLY from what i've read and heard..
I need to talk with Soulshine again to see what's up with the bus -- if they'll go to the cabin, that would be great, I just assume they won't. My thinking if not is that we'll have several cars at the cabin to shuttle with for those that are up there. I think Eric is renting a car, have you checked with him on that? Those of you getting in on Thursday might want to skip the trip up to the cabin, as we'll want to head to Red Rocks early in the afternoon, at least I will.

I'd be up for driving one of the nights to/from wherever we need to pickup the party bus, if it won't come up to the cabin. I'd also be willing to chip in a few extra $ to get them to come up to the cabin and get us, if they're willing. ;)
I've reserved a Jeep Grand Cherokee that seats five and four bags. I can upgrade or cancel the reservation up to the day of rental with no charge.If we need to go bigger, we can, but the price jumps a decent amount.
Beth & I rented a car also and will be happy to help out with transportation for both the Lips and MMJ shows. Always happy to get there early and me thinks the party bus is a great idea if logistics work out.
have to wait til friday to book, but i hope to be on the same flight out as eric & penny (early weds). i think ky's arriving a little later & the plan is to wait for her & then all drive in the one rental car to crispy's...
i procrastinated & did NOT buy my F. Lips ticket for Weds night yet. i'm not that fussed so if a GA ticket pops up, i'll join y'all. if not, i'll most likely pass on the show. either way, i can be a DD if the party bus isn't happening. i'm very ok with having a sober night on weds :thumbsup:
thursday morning i'm picking up lil sis from the airport - have to confirm her arrival time but pretty sure she's getting in early enough to where we'd be able to join y'all on the party bus, if that's happening. which i think is a great idea. especially considering that i prefer to not be sober for the MMJ show ;)
just a thought, but would anyone else consider getting a hotel room closer to the venue for that night if it makes the party bus thing more do-able? i can look into places if there's interest...
re: tarping - yes, there is definitely such a thing as good crowd etiquette. my thoughts are that it's all relative. as long as everyone minds their manners, i couldn't care less. but if need be, i'm good for a "this is my dance space, this is your dance space" convo ;D

Hey Denver peeps. I just did the price line bid thing and am not regretting it. I ended up with a hotel called Howard Johnson in wheat ridge... Is no bueno? Hopefully there's a cancellation policy that isn't outrageous. It's 20 minutes away from red rocks according to map quest which means super expensive cab rides
and anyone with cars that could lick us up on the way to the venue either nights would be awesome... We actually are meeting people the second day which is why I opted out of the party house, cause I don't know how many will be staying in the hotel the second day after jacket
I have only been skimming about this party bus thing, but if that doesn't work out, I have a minivan that will carry 7 total. I live in Westminster, so it's not a huge diversion to pick up a crew in Boulder or wherever. My Wife has backed out due to a conflict, so that means room for 6 more if we have a JacketFestWest caravan.
Rizzo & Rizzo's Gal live in Denver central. We've both got to regrettably work in the morning but are planning on getting in line around 3:00 pm and would love to meet some more of you people. We'd offer to provide some transportation but we've already got a car full.
Howard Johnson's in Wheatridge shouldn't be too bad, although I've never personally stayed there. Wheatridge isn't too far from venue, but anywhere is a bit of a shlep to RR. There's also a couple of Bed and Breakfasts in Morrison I think, at least there used to be, which is the little town that RR is in. We hope all of you enjoy our town. A show at RR is magical - especially a MMJ show.
One thing I did not like about the Circuital Show was being locked into a seat position. I am going to wander all over Red Rocks to get my Groove going! :)

REALLY didn't want to go home on Sat. There was a 10:10am flight out on Sunday morning that was going for about $350 an hour ago. After Liz and I confirmed we could both do that flight I went back and the price jumped to almost $900...for a ONE WAY ticket (already have my flight out to Denver booked since I'm flying from Florida). So we will now be joining you guys on the Sat 5:45 flight. :thumbsup:

I'm bummed about coming home on Saturday too,and had a similar problem as you with finding even a decent priced Sunday return flight. The only one that was semi affordable would've put me into Newark in the wee hours Monday morning, and I couldn't swing that, and work Monday too.
No worries though,I'm sure we'll pack a boat load of fun into our shortened stay. :thumbsup:
On the plus side, I'm sure our return flight won't need any help getting off the ground with the four of us still in a JacketFestWest High! ;)
I'm getting really psyched now that flight is booked, and JFW is indeed a reality. 8) .... I don't think I've ever wanted a summer month to go by so quick, but..... c'mon August!!
What is a good estimate for time on when people expect to (1) get to the venue parking lot and (2) get in line to go into the show? I want to maximize my forum peeps time since this is the only day I'll get to party with y'all.

This is up in the air for our group right now until we get the details figured out with the party bus. I'm guessing we'll get to the parking lot after 4:00 with the bus, and as early as possible without. I'll probably get in line as soon as we get there.
I think once we have a better idea about times I can get a clearer picture on the party bus and costs associated with it. I too want to get there early to hang with everyone before the show.
Dave are you still headed up to the bluegrass/beer fest that weekend?
is anyone going to the bluegrass and beer festival in boulder on saturday & sunday the 6th and 7th? I think I'll end up going one day, because for 35$ you get to sample unlimited beers and listen to music
also, i was unaware that my favorite beer, Mojo IPA, was a Boulder Beer, so i'll definitely be going there once or twice in boulder
is anyone worried about the will call situation? i got presale tickets that are will call only. it looks like pick up is far from the gates. that's weird. normally the box office is located within a reasonable distance to the gate.

Ok, hope this helps a bit: myself and Penny are on the same flight(not sure about ynwa), arriving Denver 7:45 am Wednesday. We'll pickup the rental car and probably get something to eat and wait for Ky, who gets in @ 11:30am. If we need to go to the cabin first, I'm sure we can, but I think it'll be easier to just wait for Ky, than come back.
Once we have Ky, I'd imagine we'd be to the cabin 1:00 - 1:30 the latest.
Pretty sure Mr. and Mrs. Headhunter will be arriving Tuesday, and I don't want to speak for them, but knowing the HH's, I'm pretty sure they'd be able to get to the cabin by whatever time they'd have to for the party bus. ;)

i have about the same ETA to the cabin via driving.. I'll get there around the time you guys drive up from the city.. i think i just wanna throw down in the backyard and listen to some tunes whilst drinking/grilling out.. i'm gonna throw out a tent in the yard and i'll also have my dog with me.. i saw the flaming lips up close on a Saturday evening set at Hangout Fest.. so I'm not too bummed to miss the wednesday night show.. it all pretty much came down to financial reasons.. i'd rather use the money i'd spend to go to the flaming lips show to have a good time at the MMJ show and have more coin to do fun stuff on the weekend up there..
i guess i can hold down the backyard partying until you guys get back from the show.. we can roast s'mores over an open fire and sing "kumbaya"
gonna leave sometime early on friday AM and drive up to my brothers and spend a few hours there.. leave the pooch at his house in cheyenne and come back down to denver friday afternoon and try to see what kind of trouble we can find..
not sure how many people are in for the rockies game still.. but i plan on squeezing in an early morning of fishing just once over the weekend before I drive home on sunday morning.. i know the rockies game is at 5:15pm on saturday.. so it's do-able.. but this bluegrass beer festival sounds like it might be a better saturday event..

A little, but hopefully the box office will be open early enough so it won't have an impact on getting on the ga line......fingers crossed.

Yep, we get there Tuesday and will be staying nearby in a hotel but we should definitely be able to get to the cabin for a party bus at whatever time works best. Will need to get directions from Crispy.

I'm thinking we can get a few peeps in line, then save spots while folks make trips down to get their tickets at will call.
I've made a map on google with directions: A MAP (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=214561552666346084722.00049f2c059b979b755c7&msa=0)

e wind I would love one too! My husband owns a sign company so he's going to work on some stickers.
Very impressive e wind! If you have a spare I would like one.
Per earlier discussion, the Red Rocks site says Will Call opens 2 1/2 hours before showtime. Showtime on tickets is 7:30. And it sucks you can't get them earlier. I don't know when doors is. My tickets don't say. It is indeed a trek to will call- you might want to carpool it, mainly because you won't be used to the altitude and it's a long climb back.
I have my own bias as to which entrance I like, but consideration should be given to covering all (three) of them assuming everyone on the sign up list will be there. But even if everyone wants to party in the same line at one entrance, good seats should be easy.
I am curious- When I went to Red Rocks for the Evil Urges show I don't think I was involved with this board, but I didn't discern much of a travel contingent in line. Anyone in this group attend that show? The rain on that line was awful.

For sure! I got plenty of em for everyone. I'll probably have 45 or so pass out among everyone, and there wont be 45 of us I don't think. I'm not going to cabin because we're visiting friends in Boulder all week, but we'll be meeting up in the lot before hand
plus i have another little treat for everyone that hasn't arrived, but I'll post a pic when it does

this is what i got from the red rocks website - The box office and ticket Will Call is located on the Red Rocks Park Road (entrance #2). The Red Rocks Park Road entrance is along Hwy. 93 and is the closest entrance to the town of Morrison. Ticket Will Call opens 2 hours prior to doors opening.

Trade you for one of my wristbands...
For sure! I got plenty of em for everyone. I'll probably have 45 or so pass out among everyone, and there wont be 45 of us I don't think. I'm not going to cabin because we're visiting friends in Boulder all week, but we'll be meeting up in the lot before hand
plus i have another little treat for everyone that hasn't arrived, but I'll post a pic when it does
I have about 75 wristbands so some will go to anonymous friendly folk in my proximity plus all of the JacketFestWest participants...

Hi,
This is a bit off-topic from the MMJ Red Rocks show, but are any of you Denver area people going to the Soundgarden show at Red Rocks on 7/18.
I'll be in Denver on business on that date, and am going to that show alone at this point. If anyone else is going and wouldn't mind the company of a 40 year-old fellow MMJ fanatic, please let me know. I have a GA ticket and plan to get there in time to get in front of the small soundboard that is about 18 rows back.
Thanks

Dave are you still headed up to the bluegrass/beer fest that weekend?
Yep, Friday morning we are leaving Denver for two days at my aunts condo in Keystone. There is a bluegrass/beer fest in Keystone. Apparently there is one in Boulder too? I guess Colorado has a bluegrass/beer fest in everytown, everyweekend all summer long don't they? ;D

I haven't decided for sure, but it's better than 50/50 odds. Give me a day or two. Hope it hasn't sold out while I procrastinated. We would be with a buddy and his son. Unfortunately when I dragged him to MMJ last time he didn't like them that much, so right there you know some of my friends have bad taste :P

Cool, let me know, maybe by PM since this is off-topic of this thread.
I think it is sold out. I stubhubbed a ticket since I'm coming from far away and wanted it dealt with before I left. The ticket ended up being the same as face value, so if you wait until close to the show, you can probably get a ticket for less than face. There seem to be 10,000 scalpers trying to sell Red Rocks tix, and that must drive down prices eventually.
I'll have a car if you guys need a ride.
Three more weeks til we'll be enjoying the start of JacketFestWest!! :thumbsup: :beer:
Good thing I'll be squeezing in a short visit to see my daughter, and Furthur,or I think the anticipation for JFW might get the better of me. ;)

I hear you, Jeff. It's definitely the same level of excitement,and anticipation for me too.
I look forward to all my shows, but this is ratcheted up a few notches, to say the least. ;)

Not sure how the rumor of the bluegrass/beer fest in Boulder got started, but I can't find anything about such an event that weekend. Guess we'll all just have to tag along with Dave to Keystone! ;)
Also, for anyone interested, party bus from the cabin to Red Rocks and back is now booked for Thursday. We will be rolling through Boulder, so if any peeps are there and need picked up, give a shout.

Thanks, Crispy! Can you tell me what time the party bus is picking people up at the cabin? My flight gets in at 9:30am. Will I have enough time to get to your cabin to drop off my stuffs?
I've never wanted summer to fly by before in my life. The suspense of this trip is killing me. Little kid giddy over here! :D

Hey, I just sent your sister a message asking what time you were getting in! Right now the bus is scheduled for 1 pm, which is plenty of time, the drive up takes about 1.5 hours from the airport (out in BFE). I might even move the bus departure time up for maximum RR tailgating time if everybody who's riding is up there and ready!
Dylan, I has a sad. We will rock it for you, brother!
I'm planning on getting there as soon as the party bus does to meet you all. The earlier the better. I don't really know what you mean by tailgating though

Great, hopefully we'll get to the lot around 2:00. I'll drive a support vehicle with chairs and booze and stuff for mingling in the parking lot, though many (or all of us) will be in line, so yeah, tailgating or line party, whichever.

New to this forum, but NOT MMJ! I'm taking some of my little brothers and sister to go see MMJ at Red Rocks for the second time, first time we were on the 3rd row! It would be great to get to meet some of you and get to know you! We are driving 6 hours from Texas for the show, would love to get to know some of you, we can wave a Texas flag so you can notice us!

Keep Soulshine in your thoughts today, she goes in for (outpatient) surgery on her ankle. Fortunately, she may be in a walking boot by the day of the show, unfortunately she broke it pretty bad so that's a maybe. In any case, we'll have to figure out the handicapp'd accommodations at Red Rocks. Not really gimp friendly. Definitely no running of the tarps for her!
The good news is we'll figure out and she WILL be at the show. ;)

This was the action last night at Soundgarden ;D
Red Rocks Staff Member Breaks it Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjxt5PgTe6g#ws)
I got there about 15 minutes after doors at 6 p.m. for 7:30 start time, and the front 24 were fairly crowded, but I was able to get three seats on the end of the 14th row. The footprint at RR is so narrow, that is like being on the edge of the middle section of some sheds.
I took a neat crowd shot but can't figure out how to insert it (jpg)
The security searches weren't too bad.
Soundgarden is definitely not my cuppa. I was familiar with Black Hole Sun of course, but the rest was too harsh. I like a bit more melody in my rock. I didn't know any of MMJ songs before my first show either, and loved it all immediately. Not this time.
Crispy- definitely agree with upper North

Yeah, I'm pretty amazing, huh? :thumbsup:
Actually, I was just doing a Google Images search of "My Morning Jacket poster" and scrolled down through 18 pages. The image that turned out to be the Red Rocks poster looked unfamiliar to me, so I went to its source, the Facebook page for the artist/studio.
For the Montreal poster, I went to Branjo Farms to see if my hunch was correct, that poster artist Brandon Jones was A. Man from Okonokos and Unstaged. He had a slightly different version of the Montreal poster on his site.
Just luck, time to spare, and a personal mission to research early MMJ posters recently that led me to this one.

I saw that poster a couple weeks ago (ev, you're not a fb friend of mine???), but note that it says it's teh "promotional" poster, which sort of implies to me that there is another "Official" show poster to come. ???

Keep Soulshine in your thoughts today, she goes in for (outpatient) surgery on her ankle. Fortunately, she may be in a walking boot by the day of the show, unfortunately she broke it pretty bad so that's a maybe. In any case, we'll have to figure out the handicapp'd accommodations at Red Rocks. Not really gimp friendly. Definitely no running of the tarps for her!
The good news is we'll figure out and she WILL be at the show. ;)
On noes! If she'd rather be in reserved seating I have a couple in 26.

Well if were lucky they'll sell that in full size as well as another poster. This is the most anticipated show *of my life* and I want a ton or memorabilia

Oh no, poor Soulshine! Well, we do have some experience with getting people with crutches up front. :thumbsup:
Seeker, we'll probably be in the upper north lot.
Awww, Soulshine! :-\ She better be there, I'm looking forward to seeing her.
THis just means that ms. y will have to fly in for Red Rocks so she can coach Soulshine on how to rock hard at an MMJ show while injured. ;D ;D
Ms y will be there! I'm sure she'll be glad to give Soulshine some tips.
Get out! :D
Lovin that poster! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!

those look awesome and yeah, this is one of my most anticipated shows too! this is gonna be one big holiday!
YOU CAN DO IT, SOULSHINE!!!
steady as she goes! :thumbsup:
T-Minus 10 days until "the Fellowship of the Jacket" begins their journey out West. It will be a long and arduous journey, surely rewarded with many drinks of cool, dank brews and fine naked wenches. For we shall bask in the glory of the Great Jacket as they destroy the Ring of Rock and melt the faces of we, the celebrating peons. All hail the Great Red Rocks!
Two weeks from tonight we'll be Rocking Red Rocks with what will surely be another great group of Jacketeers!
Roll Call looks great. :thumbsup: Looking forward to meeting all those I haven't yet had the pleasure to, as well as sharing another classic show with all those that I have.
:beer:
Looking forward to meeting you as well ericm! I will be one of two original attendees from Jacketfest 2007 in attendance... ;)...unless my feeble mind has missed someone my apologies. It was a positive life changing event for me the peeps were and are SO special! :)

I hear you Teo, my brain cell tends to misfire too much these day. ;)
It might be off right now, but were you at the Yum show? If so, I think we might have met briefly at BBC's preshow. Then again, I wasn't feeling any pain that night, so if that was you, it'll be good to meet you again when I can remember for sure.

West coast? Man, I hope you figure out where Red Rocks is between now and then. ;)
Anywho, I think catching a taxi is unlikely after the show, but if they do drive up there after the show, it would be at the bottom on the south side, or the top of the north side. See the seating chart on their website (http://www.redrocksonline.com/PUREENTERTAINMENT/FAQ.aspx). How are you getting TO the venue? You might check with other who have offered rides here, or you might start a new thread asking for one.
Damn if I can't get a taxi home I am boned

well played sir, i was planning on taking a taxi to the show. but i guess grabbin a ride with someone from here would make a lot more sense. thank u!
Hey guys-
I posted some time ago I can give rides before or after the show, if you don't laugh at me for driving a mini-van. I plan on going up early afternoon to get in line, hopefully with the rest of you. It looks like I can carry up to six more.
PM me to make arrangements.

Very cool. 8) :thumbsup: It's this type of thing that makes this place, and the people here, as great as the band itself,imo. :beer:
Wish we could help out but our rental will be full the one night and taking the Party Bus the next.
I hope we can all meet up in the lot pre-show. It'll be great to meet some more really cool Jacket fans.
grabbing a taxi after the show is a tall order. if you have something pre-aranged (cab, limo, etc) they can pick you up in the small upper lot (handicap/drop-off lot)
but dont expect to stumble out of the show to a row of waiting cabs
oh and keep your eyes peeled for llamas. last time mmj played red rocks and pack of llamas made the sacred trek

Dude, you aren't kidding! All I can think about is what I need to do before leaving town. I swear I've been focusing on this week so much, I've mentally got my bags packed, routes planned out. I'm ready to RAWK!
Does anybody know what the camera policy is going to be? The Red Rocks site says its up to the band. I'm wondering if I can get my entry level Canon DSLR in?

I KNOW! I've been so busy and all of a sudden yesterday it hit me: "I'm going to Colorado to see MMJ play at Red Rocks." Eeeeeeeee.
Now we need to just figure out the best place for all of us to get together either before or after the show to socialize/raise a can o' brew together to the greatest band evaaahhhhhh.
Hope this is cool. GA ticket on eBay for face, if anyone is in need.

Best place before the show is the Upper North parking lot. We'll be getting there pretty early in the afternoon.

You're welcome for the less crowded GA. ;D Rock it out!
Just in case anyone hasn't booked accommodations yet, a bunch of us are staying Wed and Thurs night at The Sheraton, Lakewood, which is 6 miles from Red Rocks and 10 miles from the airport. We're going to head to Crispy's Cabin on friday AM (I Think?) This way we'll be close to everything. We got a rate of $129 + tax and it's a really nice place. We'll probably do a little hotel pre-party tailgating then head to the venue early both nights ...(super early thurs of course).....the cabin option is still on but we got nervous about the actual distance and driving up in the mountains late at night..still can't wait to get there the rest of the weekend to continue the fest!

I've had really good luck with Hotwire, and others I know have with Priceline, so you might check there, selecting by location on the map. Hotwire's showing me a 3-star in Lakewood South for $74.

Crispy,
Go to that link, click on the "Hotel Offers" on the far right of the banner. A promo page will come up, and go to the 3rd one down that says "Great Rates From $69.00 - promo code FMT" buy through that offer and the $129.00 + tax rate will come up.
Sent you a pm, check that first.

Come on John, any chance that ticket could have your name on it? :thumbsup:
You know I would if I could. Too soon after my Canadian adventure and too soon before our trip to Chicago. Have fun without me, if that's possible. I'm sure you'll all find a way... :thumbsup:
I'm bummed I'm gonna miss this. I guess I learned the pitfalls of will call as well as I have no way of getting my money back for the tix I purchased for this show unless I send someone my credit card or license.
You're welcome for the less crowded GA. ;D Rock it out!
Sorry Ruckus, was looking forward to seeing your smiling face in Colorado.
Hopefully you are still planning on MP and I look forward to seeing you then.
mntgirl--make sure if you book over the phone, you tell them you want that rate, you have to be specific (FMT code)...or they'll play dumb!

If there's any downside to the Roll Call System, it's that there's no way to recover $$ for bought tickets you can't use. I get why they want will call and why stopping scalpers is a WIN for all of us. But for us faithful, it's hard to commit to travel plans months in the future, especially when the notice between roll call announcement and presale is only a day or so.
If there were some sort of return policy - even if it's a one-time option a few weeks before the show, or a limit that you could only do it a certain # of times a year... something creative...
as it is I bought Philly tix without any sure idea of whether I'll make it or not, so I may be in the same boat as you Ruckus.

Have you contacted Management?
I hope the band knows the kind of crew we're bringing for this and they give us some special shit! or just a REALLY REALLY long set. What are the chances we get PWW, Steam Engine, War Begun and I Will Sing...?
Last RR show they played 29 songs.... I'm hoping for more of the same!
Thanks for the heads up Penny!

Yeah - Penny's right. The gave my gf the runaround trying to secure the special rate. Considering the hoops we jumped through, "playing dumb" is a bit of an understatement. They were basically just "dumb." I think she called them a total of 7 times to get it right. So make sure you check the receipt they email you - messed ours up several times.
As for the show's length...i hope we get at least 25. I have a hard time believing that we'll get one as long as the last one. But, man do i hope it's a monster set!
My friend is at family reunion right now with Patrick. I told her to pass on the message that were coming from all over the country, it's my birthday, and my favorite song is Strangulation :)

Mines actually the 2nd and I'll be at the st Louis show that night, but it's all a bday celebration for me! Well have to share a birthday drink at the show
one week from today my friends. just one more week! :D
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SuNkooo9pgE/TeZ6TtZJZII/AAAAAAAADjg/JiAKGY30YmU/s1600/7days_logo.jpg)
I'm starting to get more and more excited. flight leaves out of baltimore wednesday. I've been doing some research on things to do, places to go and food to eat. One of my dreams is to see a show at Red Rocks...feels good to do something like this.
see yall at the rocks, or at MPP or in Philly. haha! ;D
Wow, I haven't been on the forum in a while! I am excited to see that a bunch of us are making the pilgrimage! I may have missed this, but are most folks in GA? Are you gathering?
For those interested, I will be shooting the show from the photo pit for the first few songs; If you see me, say hi! The rest of my crew will be in GA.
Man, one week away!
Pretty sure the majority of us are going to be in GA, and yes we are going to meet up before hand outside
wait a second, how does GA work at Red Rocks.... I thought it was the first 40 rows are so. Does it vary by show? I hope that I can get somewhat close both nights...

The first 25 rows are GA, then 26-50 are reserved -- as long as you're in line before the gates open, you'll be down there in those first 25 with no problem and pretty close. Not sure that will be true about the FLips show, but it has been for most every show I've been to there. If we're in the upper north lot, we'll be coming in on Carl side, which is good: if you look at the seating chart, the layout is asymmetrical.
what about getting in line before gates open, grabbing a poster, and still making it to the first 25 rows? possibility?

In 2008, we got in line at the top (not the best idea) not long before gates opened, got down to 12th row, staked our seats (no tarp), then I went to get a poster with no problem. They did the wristband thing, which was awesome. The crowd will be bigger this time, but I still think that would still work.
What time is everyone getting in line for tickets? My brother and I will be rolling into Denver at about 4. Will this be too late to get good GA seats? We will be driving in from Kansas City. Thanks!
if you are there when gates open, you will be good. there will be two, maybe three merch stands for the poster people. if you dont pass one on your way in, to the right of the stage will be your best bet
the line to get in will be shortest at top, but you will have to run down 100 akward stairs. not the best idea
Arrived in Colorado Monday, so much cooler up here in the mountains 8). Looking forward to another awesome MMJ show at Red Rocks :D. Also looking forward to meeting everyone again for a little partying before the show in the upper lot. Thanks again Liz, (ynwa) for the tickets :thumbsup:. See you all there !

in '08 we were in line at the upper north lot gate, probably 5-8th in line, we got 6th row on carls side. The rows are pretty deep though so we were still back a bit. I'm going to bring a blanket this time to grab seats and also to dance on because the exposed aggregate is hard on bare feet.
and e wind we'll def have to have a birthday drink!! :beer:
Jealous! Hope y'all have a great time. Rock out!

I am flying out of B-more on Wednesday, too. Ass-crack of 7:20 in the AM.
After much debate we are staying at the Sheraton. Thanks to you all who posted the links for the promo price! We will be there wed and thurs nights. Sadly we have to get home on friday so we won't be making it up to the cabin. I can't wait to meet you all!
Kristen
man the toronto kool haus show is gonna be tough to top, but i have faith itll happen. i would absolutely love to hear its about twilight now, evelyn, lowdown, cobra or into the woods. i kno im aiming pretty high, but either way i kno im not goin home dissapointed :)
I am going to give rides to NatoNate and E-wind for both nights, but did not pick up a GA ticket for Flaming Lips. It's a sellers (scalpers) market on Craigslist right now, so I was wondering if anyone had a spare Lips ticket at face. Please PM me.
Thanks!
after watching U2's under a blood red sky many, many years ago i dared to dream: "some day, i will go to red rocks, and see an amazing band in that gorgeous setting & have one of those 'life-experiences' that is just so phenominal that i'll want to tell everyone i know about it, for the rest of my life..." that moment... is 1 week from today :D
i'm ridiculously excited for JacketFestWest!!! mmj will certainly make it great, however, a giant part of the excitement will, of course, be hanging out with the friends from here i've met over the past year as well as meeting more of you.
see y'all soon :beer: :beer: :beer:
So so close! The weather predictions call for rain but I sure hope that passes...

You got that right Liz!! So glad you will be at the Sheraton too and ain't no doubt that this one will be big fun and super special. In an insane world, this trip will be the sanest thing we can do! So I think this will be our 8th show together? All in less than a yr! 9 will be MP and #10 will hopefully be the soon-to-be-announced mystery northeast date! :D
Hey guys, we'll be looking for you fine folks in the Upper parking lot - but will you have a flag up or some other way to find you easily? We'd love to meet all of you for pre-line fun. And P.S. I believe Penny Lane mentioned that the Sheraton is 10 miles from the airport, and its WAY more than 10 miles. Which you'll quickly learn driving there from the airport. But it is indeed the closest hotel option from RR. Can't focus. Can't sleep. Can't wait for this show!!
yeah it looked farther than 10 miles---hopefully no one has to hit it during traffic, think people are coming in early enough-it should be okay.
i thought they were calling for rain WED and clear and sunny THURS...however now my weather channel app says 40% rain both nights. keeps changing!
im not totally opposed to rain. every show i ever go to outside is hardly sprinkles and i always say I wish it would open up!
though it would ruin the tailgate. this brings me to my next question, is it unethical/illegal to actually tailgate (drink) outside the venue while waiting
Jacket brings the rain. The band name isn't "My Morning Jacket" for nothing.

I have been to very few shows at Red Rocks in the afternoon/evening where it doesn't sprinkle a little bit, so you should always have a rain jacket unless it's really hot and you don't mind getting a little wet. Even rain won't hurt the tailgating -- rain is welcome in Denver, and downpours are short, if they happen at all. Thunderstorms with lightning are another matter.
A little rain is okay.
I was talking to my father last night about my trip and the conversation went as such:
Dad: "You know, you'll be a mile above sea level."
Ky: "Uhm, okay?"
Dad: "Just...you know...might want to watch your drinking."
Ky: "Why?"
Dad: "Well the thin air takes some getting used to and too much alcohol might make things worse. You'll get a nosebleed."
Ky: "Will I really?"
Dad: "No."
Ky: "I'll watch myself."
Dad: "And don't go running."
Ky: "Not happening."
;D I love him.
But on to more pressing matters. For those flying in...do you have a plan for your poster? I didn't know if I should bring a tube or not. Is there anyone on the East Coast who is bringing a tube and I could rent some space and pick it up at either MPP or Philly? I will buy you a beer at Red Rocks and on date of pick up. :beer:
HA! I mean, YMML. Err, your dad does. Everything he says is true, the altitude can take a toll, but more beer can only help, especially after climbing Red Rocks stairs. You've been training for this, haven't you? ;)
Hopefully they'll do the wristband thing again for posters so you can pick it up after the show. You could also do what I did in NYC and mail it home to yourself.
Ky-
I am bringing a poster tube (I think Eric is too) and I will certainly have room in mine to hold your poster and deliver to you at MP. No beers needed.
By the way, you can also get that really cool RR promo poster that was shown here by sending $ via paypal as copied below. I know a few of us already bought this one.
Good news! While we don't have our allotment yet, they should be here by the first week in August.
They are 1st run prints signed by the artist and go for $30.00 + $8.00 shipping.
These are promo posters and are not being sold at the show.
Shipping/Handling:
All posters are shipped in mailing tubes via USPS Priority Mail with signature verification. Shipping for 1-4 posters is $8.00.
We cannot be responsible for lost / stolen shipments. So if you wish to insure your package, please add $5.00 to your total.
The poster comes signed by the artist/s, and I am happy to do a special greeting/message. If so please note when you purchase. (We can sign in a black/blue sharpie or silver paint pen).
To purchase a print:
Go to www.paypal.com (http://www.paypal.com)
Select "Send money".
Send funds in the amount quoted above to jeff@crypticaldevelopment.com
Be sure to specify the poster you wish to purchase (and any other notes) in the notes section of the payment.

it sure will be, jeff! pretty amazing that we've been concert buddies for as many shows w/in such short period of time. so many great conversations @ the various events, especially on the walks to get in line. and then the big smiles & hi-fives during the shows when we've had mutual moments fo awesomeness :) we will absolutely continue to add to our tally & i'm looking forward to it! 11 is my lucky number, so, just puttin it out there in the cosmos in hopes of
2 nyc area dates being announced soon (please please please)...
an event itself isn't a special thing. it's the people with whom you share that time with that makes an event special.

Yes. Yes I've been training. Benchpressing my 7-year old niece and flipping tires. *grunts* Not really, but I'm going to hold off on too much alcohol for Red Rocks. I want to actually remember the show and the surroundings. This can't be a repeat of T5 ngiht #3 where I remember people buying me drinks and drinking out of Jason's boot-bottle, but theennnnnn.... :beer:
And thank you
headhunter!!! I am definitely going to pick that up.

I jumped on PL's facebook to try and find it and no luck. Then I spent way too much time going through the T5 album and thinking about that week.
Ugh. :'(

im not totally opposed to rain. every show i ever go to outside is hardly sprinkles and i always say I wish it would open up!
though it would ruin the tailgate. this brings me to my next question, is it unethical/illegal to actually tailgate (drink) outside the venue while waiting
Tailgating before a show at RR is a time honored tradition. I promise the whole parking lot will be filled with tailgaters - but mostly folks with reserved seats have the luxury to hang out til right before the show.
I am still looking for one Flaming Lips ticket. For the people on this thread attending, here is a bit of a preview from a Wayne Coyne interview in Westword:
When the band plays The Dark Side of The Moon in its entirety live at Red Rocks, Coyne says, bits of the Wizard of Oz will be inserted into the live performance "so there's all that stoner mythology connection and all that."
"Everybody knows a little bit of the Wizard of Oz music, even though they think they know more than they do," Coyne says. "We got these great little movies that play along with it. It's an absurd and an intense thing for sure. To me, some of The Dark Side of the Moon stuff does get a very sort of similar melancholy in it. Inserting the Wizard of Oz stuff in there is such an absurd element of that music. It's otherworldly. You just go, 'What the fuck?'
2 days left in Louisville.
on the 3rd - St Louis MMJ on my :birthdays:
on the 4th - F'Lips Red Rocks
on the 5th - greatest day of my life
then 5 days of mountains and breweries!
BRING IT ONNNNNNN :bath: :beer: :birthdays:

Just a wild guess E, but I'd say you're super psyched, and not feeling any pain tonight either. ;)
Hey guys...I have all access V.I.P. front row tickets...how I got these is another story...but if anyone needs me to run back to my car with posters/merch, I'm more than happy to do that. This way you wont lose your spot and you wont risk your poster getting wet. I'll be in the lot EARLY!! I'll be flying my new Colorado My Morning Jacket flag. Im in the process of finishing it right now. But picture this. The Colorado flag, but instead of the yellow circle in the middle, it's going to be the "green eye" and then to the right of it, it's going to say "ircuital". The big 'C' will complete the name. Can you dig it?
IM REALLLLLLY BORED TODAY

I plan on getting there early also 8). Are you gonna be partying in the upper lot?
I still have two GA seats for sale. If one of the Louisville travelers wants to to meet up I can get it to them and we can share whatever you get for them. I'd hate to see them go to waste
yeah we need to nail down which lot we're meeting up at?

nope---must have been my doppleganger! we've never met, so i'm looking forward to it, your flag sounds great!
originally crispy mentioned the north lot, however, there's a shuttle for soulshine in the south lot i think? worried about getting her up all the steps.
i think we'll have a better understanding after Flaming Lips show...

I vouch for Funky being one swell dude though he suffers from online/real life bipolar disorder. ;D His special lady friend is even sweller. wish I was going
My preference is the upper north lot. Been there very early many times.
For the folks buying posters, 3 years ago you bought a ticket/token and then could redeem after the show. Been to Red Rocks a bunch, but the only time i bought a poster so don't know if this "token" idea is Red Rocks or mmj. A tube might come in handy as its a hike back down to parking lot. And btw, the poster was awesome three years ago (Guy Burwell), hoping for something cool

If we decide on a definite meeting point, someone should post it on here. Want to make sure we can get as many people in the same spot partying together as we possibly can.
Look for the flag. Look for lots of people wearing flair (buttons, stickers, etc). Look for Crispy's jazz hands. Look for the beautiful aura around Penny Lane. Look for a limping Soulshine (sorry Soulshine). Look for a big group of smiling people. If there are any lurkers out there who haven't posted yet...don't be afraid to come find us. Come join the crazy! :) :beer:

I think we all gotta look for the awesome canvas flag! :thumbsup:
Packing up my stuff now for my 8:30 am flight out of LaGuardia Tuesday am.
Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a bit psyched for this crazy adventure. :D
Can't wait to party with all of you beautiful people (and even those of you who might not be so beautiful will look pretty darn good a mile high). :o
Gonna be an awesome time for those of us lucky enough to be there. Safe travels everyone.
I vote for the upper north lot too. If we need to pick up other peeps ,ie. soulshine, etc., we should have a least a couple of vehicles that can make a run.
I'll be the photog walking around with a backpack and 5 others...taking pictures of you folks. I'll be hooking up with TwoFingers at some point too. I'll look for the Color-utical flag for you peeps!
I'll crawl if I have to!!! (please dont make me do that)
So excited!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see everyone :bath:
Greetings from Denver! Beth and I arrived earlier todayand are staying nearby at the Sheraton. Already picked up a cooler and some local Fat Tire beer and we are good to go. Cannot wait to see everyone and for the music to begin.

ever since I made the executive decision to miss out on this show due to work obligations... i reluctantly click this thread today to read all the "goings' ons" and even though it pains me to not be there.. i love this...
GOTTA RADIATE THE GOLD!!!! GOTTA RADIATE THE GOOOOOOOLLD!
I hope all you crazy bastards have fun.. and send me pictures on Thursday if you can
man if only I didn't have to drive 8 hours tomorrow to get there >:( I thought for sure by the time I got this old I would be using a transporter. I can't wait to party crash with all you lovely folks.
Long time lurker here. Just had to post something so that when I'm introducing myself on Thursday I can claim to be a forum member!
I'm coming up from Fort Worth. Can't wait for this show, it's going to be unreal! I'm really hoping to meet some of y'all at the show. I'll definitely have my eyes peeled for flair and cripples and flags and such.
45 hours and counting...
I probably should have thought of this earlier, but it might be fun if the ones of us going to the Flaming Lips wore our Roll Call T-shirts.
It was pretty cool seeing fellow PJ fans at Soundgarden wearing PJ20 T-shirts or Analog fan club shirts.
Charles
I had to buy two Flaming Lips tix to get one, and then today I put the my extra Lips and MMJ tix on Craigslist. I was deluged with demand for my Lips ticket and quickly sold it, but still have my MMJ.
The Lips sold out a couple of weeks ago, but you can still get reserved MMJ on Ticketmaster.
I am rather annoyed by this. It doesn't seem right. MMJ is surely going to be much more epic than the Lips.
I can't believe it is finally Red Rocks time! Kind of bittersweet as this will be my last show for awhile (hopeful about those 2012 dates Patrick aluded to in the billboard article, though). But I will look for all you lovelies either in the lot or at the show. Safe travels everyone!
Do we know what all the times are? I have conflicting times between my ticket receipt and the red rocks website.
Parking Lot Open: ?
Venue Gate Open: ?
Showtime for Amos Lee?

For Lips/Primus- both Red Rocks website and hard ticket says showtime is 7 p.m. Site says doors are 5:30. I am bringing e-wind and Nate from the list and we are trying to get there well before doors, depending on traffic. What are others planning?
For MMJ both the website and hard ticket says showtime 7:30, Site says doors are 6:00. e-wind, Nate and I will shoot for 1 p.m. line.
Not sure when Parking lot opens but it has been open at 1 p.m. for other shows. I am assuming the upper North lot is where the Roll Call pre-show party line will form!
Skipping the Lips show :P. Just not able to get everything done today, hope you all have a great time. Don't forget to save some energy in your tank for tommorrow ;).
See everyone in the upper lot Thursday.
What time is the "cabin" group getting to the lot ???.
if you guys are all going to be in line at 1pm...when are we going to party? Just so you know...there is no bad spot at red rocks...if you get in the first 30 rows you'll be "golden".
Upper North Lot It Is! Leaving Durango NOW....see yall soon. Everyone bring name tags. Roll Call shirts?
Have fun, you lucky bastards and bastardesses. Rock the Rockies! Melt yo face! No tarps. Wish I could be there.

Last night at the lips was an awesome time for about 20 of us forum members.
Plan is to be at the upper north lot no later than 2 today. Bring your coolers, food and goodies and look for us on line. We will be the ones with the tired happy smiles
Two nights of concerts in a row with some Soulshine is a very very good thing!
We are ready to bring it on! :D
Have fun everyone! You guys are getting Strangulation and Evelyn tonight
Rock it good tonight and spread the Jacket love. HAVE SO MUCH EFFIN' FUN! :D
I will be pouting all day because I won't be there. :'(

Meeting everyone last night was awesome and the Dark Side of the Moon was INCREDIBLE. One of my favorite shows ever.
I had a blast meeting everyone, and looking forward to more of the same.

Somebody show me that Burwell. Pretty please.
Spectacular! The setlist, the show, the people, the tailgate party all matched the beautiful venue. A giant group of us front row center rocking it out in a big way! And a Guy Burwell poster to boot. Not really possible to have a better day than yesterday.
Someone else has to describe the show, i am too wiped out. Beth and I had SO MUCH FUN with everyone and will remember the night and our friends forever. We loved spending time with all you beautiful crazy folks, especially all you wild VIPs wearing bracelets who landed dead-center in the first 2 rows at Red Rocks. You guys know how to party!
For our old friends who we have seen many other shows with to those great people who we just met for the first time, you guys are family. Thanks for all the smiles, laughter and great times!
... More later and will post some pictures when we get back to ny.

*Watching crazylove have such a GREAT time
*getting ready to head to Crispy's Cabin
Jeeeezzzee I cant get over the past two nights of my life. First, the Flaming Lips TORE RED ROCKS UP. covering "somewhere over the rainbow" "were off to see the wizard" and "if I only had brain" intertwined with the dark side. And the dark side sounded great, and crowd loved it. They finished off their set with one epic Lips song - Do You Realize. Such a great show, and us forumers were row 12 and didn't try to bust in early. That show was truely a once in a life time event.
But then yesterday happened....
Hanging out with everyone for several hours tailgating. Thanks to Mtn Girl for being the first one there and bringing us shelter! It was so awesome to hang with everyone, many of them for the first time this week! My favorite forum member was obviously CrazyLove (crazy ain't in her name for nothin!), but everyone was fantastic. Loved hanging with you guys! Hopefully there will be some sort of NYC event that brings us back together this year...
And then the show. First off The Bear INTO Steam was incredible. After the high of watching the bear and then hearing Jim just sing "soooo... I do believe". Too much man, too much. Honest Man wa obviously something that always tickles our fancies. Then later toward the end of run thru they brought out the omnichord and I full expected to see touch me 2, but wait, STRANGULATION. I say all the time, Strangulation is literally my number one bucketlist song. And it only took 12 or so shows, but I'm glad it was at THIS show. I remember posting here that I had jokingly told my friend (pats cousin) that at red rocks they should play strangulation for my birthday. Maybe he got the message! The other highlight for me tonight was the Dondante tht seemed to be an hour long, just killer man.
The last thing I need to comment on I red rocks it's self. Besides the fact that it is the most beautiful place ever, it's still great venue. Tailgating in the mountains is awesome. Being in between two mountains is awesome. But my favorite thing is tht from where we were in the 1st two rows, you're looking at the band directly and not up at the band like its a stage. Just awesome. Not to mention the weather is fantastic!! A nice breeze seriously made the smoke swirling around and their hair swirling around look 10 times more epic. Just a great night all around
And my first burwell show, that doesn't hurt.

Jeeeezzzee I cant get over the past two nights of my life. First, the Flaming Lips TORE RED ROCKS UP. covering "somewhere over the rainbow" "were off to see the wizard" and "if I only had brain" intertwined with the dark side. And the dark side sounded great, and crowd loved it. They finished off their set with one epic Lips song - Do You Realize. Such a great show, and us forumers were row 12 and didn't try to bust in early. That show was truely a once in a life time event.
But then yesterday happened....
Hanging out with everyone for several hours tailgating. Thanks to Mtn Girl for being the first one there and bringing us shelter! It was so awesome to hang with everyone, many of them for the first time this week! My favorite forum member was obviously CrazyLove (crazy ain't in her name for nothin!), but everyone was fantastic. Loved hanging with you guys! Hopefully there will be some sort of NYC event that brings us back together this year...

Great reviews! Sounds like the perfect birthday ewind
I am very tired, but happy I got to meet so many of the hard core MMJ followers.
You all got to see how spoiled we locals are to have Red Rocks for our shows. It cracks me up that so many of you were so rooted in your great seats you didn't check out the epic night time views from higher up.
There was huge group photo taken that I hope is posted.
Can't really say much more than which was said before except "bring more pipes next time" ;D.
Hey, no inside jokes allowed!

VIP wristbands were special wristbands that TEO had made for the show and gave out to
Forum peeps. They are mountain color camo that say Jacket Fest West on one side and JJ is God on the other. They kept us unified as a group.

if you guys are all going to be in line at 1pm...when are we going to party? Just so you know...there is no bad spot at red rocks...if you get in the first 30 rows you'll be "golden".
Upper North Lot It Is! Leaving Durango NOW....see yall soon. Everyone bring name tags. Roll Call shirts?
Loved the Flag. Thanks for including us in the note!! Wish we could've spent more time together!
Quote from: headhunter on Aug 05, 2011, 10:27 AM
Spectacular! The setlist, the show, the people, the tailgate party all matched the beautiful venue. A giant group of us front row center rocking it out in a big way! And a Guy Burwell poster to boot. Not really possible to have a better day than yesterday.
Someone else has to describe the show, i am too wiped out. Beth and I had SO MUCH FUN with everyone and will remember the night and our friends forever. We loved spending time with all you beautiful crazy folks, especially all you wild VIPs wearing bracelets who landed dead-center in the first 2 rows at Red Rocks. You guys know how to party!
For our old friends who we have seen many other shows with to those great people who we just met for the first time, you guys are family. Thanks for all the smiles, laughter and great times!
... More later and will post some pictures when we get back to ny.
I miss you already, hubby! Holding my breath til we meet again! TEO says I've met my male counterpart! Kisses to Beth!
Let me just say "I LOVE JIM" and I will practice yoga moves with him any day, anytime, anywhere!!!
Get ready Crispy and crew, we'll be seein' you all soon! :thumbsup:
Oh what a night! I had the best time, I just wish I could have moved from my spot once to dance with the forum peeps, but I was seeing my favorite band in the most beautiful place along with dear friends from college! It was a beautiful reunion to be sure. But seeing JJ playing his guitar in the faces of all the forum peeps up front was so fantastic. We were in row 15 (next to Rizzo and his gal!), right above the sound board. It was a great spot and while we had to defend our location early on, we had plenty of dancing spots.
Highlights:
*Off the record - killer jam at the end with fantastic colored lights on the rocks behind the stage
*During Gideon the wind made it's entrance to the show. All night long, at the most appropriate times, a rolling wave of wind would take over carrying the sound up from the stage as if summoning the spirits. Jim mentioned the wind, along with affection for red rocks as a holy place. I concur Jim...
*The Bear>Steam Engine was the smoothest transition I have yet to hear at an MMJ show. It was as if it they always played them together. It was beyond delicious.
*Patrick did what I wrote down as "rolling drums" during the out-jam of Steam engine, whatever it was, I loved it. Kind of had a tribal feel to it. The jam was a monster, with Bo softly landing the music to a soft, twinkling place at the end.
*The freaking dance party that was First Light. The whole place was getting down! Denver and all the fans who traveled to be there, I salute you! I wish all MMJ shows had the energy of the Red Rocks crowd, it was fantastic!
*Honest Man...it was dirty, it was loud, it was huge!
*Jim also talked of the 2 rocks being like 2 loving arms of all that is good and natural in the world. He spoke of our love for them and their love for us. So beautiful, that JJ.
*Dondante, WTF! They did that amazing Vancouver version again (putting the middle jam first then starting at the songs proper beginning after the jam). Thank you, thank you, thank you!
*More notes on Dondante: heavy wind summoning spirits and sound, thick heavy jam with serious (good) fuzz going on moving into an easy swagger, and Carl's sax. He FILLED Red Rocks with his sweet notes at the end. Magical Carl.
*Smoking from shooting - uh, did anyone else notice Tom at the end? Making bass love to his amplifier? Fucking rock-n-roll!
*Strangulation- what can you say? It was such a kick down. So perfect in that setting, the rocks, the wind, the stars!!
*During Mahgeeta there was some crazy noise going through the speakers. It was heavy, weird and messed with the flow of energy. BUT, we must give it up for the boys as they kept going and whatever it was (we think it was some peddle that was on by accident maybe) ended soon enough. Consummate professionals.
*During Wordless, Jim stopped to address something going on in the audience. I think he saw a scuffle or some serious negative energy going on and made sure to call it out so it would stop. Not sure what it was, but I love that Jim brought the peace. And then they just brought it down, dance party style with the rest of the encore...
Sorry for the ramble, but this show was truly on the epic level....
*modified this post so it is easier to follow.

I totally forgot Jim doing Sarvangasana! Loved it!
Yeah wiz, right behind us a some a-hole was making a scene being a real burden to security. He was trying to jump into VIP, and I believe he had a scuffle with other people. Just some Dumby I guess

Rizzo's Girl here, of course logged on as Rizzo. I really need to fix that! Excellent recap! We were sitting with our friends and family who appreciate MMJ but aren't quite at the same level with us - so they didn't get the full appreciation for how amazingly special this show was and how rare some of the songs they pulled out were. For those that were seeing them for the first time last night - I hope they know how lucky they are for this to be their 1st. I kept looking over at your crowd Wizzard, to see your reaction to some of the songs, just so I could feel a connection with someone else who could appreciate how rare and special what we were experiencing was. Every time I checked in you were as blissed out as I was which was awesome to see.
Our hosting duties with our family in from out of town last night prevented us from hanging in the line and meeting a lot of you guys - which I was hoping we could make up for with a visit to Crispy's cabin today - but sadly, our childcare situation will prevent us from making the trek for that extra bonus hang out time. BOO!!!

Well, it's official -- not going to this show will go down as one of the biggest regrets of my life. Seemed too daunting of a task logistically, but man, I should have tossed reason out the window and just made it happen.
So Beth and I are sitting here in the Denver airport waiting to catch our flight to NY and still basking in the afterglow of the best two days in a row that I've had since T5. While we are sad that we couldn't spend one more night here and make it up to Crispy's cabin and spend one more day with many of our Jacket family, the positive vibes and energy from 12 hours of tailgating and music and red rocks and soulshine and crispy high-fives and mr. Steam engine and the always smiling seeker, ewind, yvonne, jane and crazylove and mt girl and EVERYONE and bracelets and bumper stickers and beautiful forum peeps ( sorry, I can ramble on forever)......
There are too many wonderful people to name but we will cherish all of the great moments under the tent with you guys and enforcing vip status and being first two rows dead center and guy burwell posters. And the music and the setlist and the show and the weather and the vibe and RED ROCKS! If there is a better way to spend a day and a night, I don't know it.
So glad we will see so many of you next week at MP. Eric, Liz, Laura & Ky - all of the good times in just the past year to be continued next week (in the front of the pit no doubt). And as for the drumstick souvenir girl who wants to be at MP - you will certainly be there in spirit even if you head north instead of south. No doubt ther will be many more family reunions.
Thanks everyone for making it all special and keeping it real.

Ditto. I was content with my decision to not attend...until late Wednesday night, as I scoured Priceline & began crafting totally impossible contingency plans.
Ka ka kaPOWWWW
You guys are awesome. Sweet reviews everyone!! Wizzard thank you for such great JJ-moment details!!! I was pining to hear what he could've possibly said about the magic venue........... he's always so tuned into where they play
AND WHAT?!?! HE DID SARVANGASANA?!?! Pictures anyone?!? :o :o :o
Thanks all for the great visualizations of the BREEZE. I love how it picked up at Gideon..... some serious channeling going on!
Glad to hear the Lips show was a sweet one too! Would love to see the Oz/Floyd experience they bring 8)
That's all I can remember off the top of my head of what you guys wrote, I'll likely be posting again about things I forgot to mention! Thanks for the killer reviews!!!! :-*

:o :o I can't believe someone made such a perfect little video of it!!! That was fantastic! Thanks so much for the link!! :D
Thanks to everyone for making this the best concert I've been to! Tailgating and meeting all the forum peeps (and non forum peeps) was so much fun. Although we missed a few, the wiz, rizzo, dafunky (although I think a have picture of you), etc. It was our pleasure to provide some shelter from the storm. Special thanks to Ky, Liz, Jeff, Eric and Chris for helping us out when we had battery troubles....twice.
The rain, the swag, the people watching, the hikes up the hill, the hikes to the bathroom with soulshine ;)...I think I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time! And I'm glad we ended up staying at the sheraton. What a great group of people! I've made some friends for life. Thanks again everyone!!!
oh and the show was pretty amazing too, several songs I hadn't seen live. Front row right in front of Jim with tons of fans who flew/drove long distances to see it. set list, burwell, pretty much was the perfect time. PERMAGRIN.
.this was hands down the best concert going experience I ever had.
During Dondante I went up row 30 and watched it from above...I could feel Jims spirit channeling something - a spirit, a God, ...a friend. It was quite emotional.
During Slow Slow Tune, Jim straight up made eye contact with my girl friend which LITERALLY crippled her knees. She had to sit down after ward.
Now..I was front row and CENTER for this show - the miracle of getting these tickets is beyond me - but the overwhelming emotional joy I got from attending this show will forever go unmatched. Now, I don't ever get really star struck...but being that close to Jim James and The Boys was too much. It made it all real - he saw me, I saw him. It removed a lot of the mystic the band for me...but in the end it gave me something even better - knowing that the band is real. it's not a hoax. it's not a dream. it's not out of reach. it's was right there...i could touch it.
We gave the flag to their sound engineer who complimented all of us on our rocking out. They asked us to sign it with a note...I wrote something like this. "Thank you for all the love you have put in each of our hearts - the happiness you give each and everyone blah blah blah. Love, Katee, Casey and every MMJ fan"
See you guys at the next big one.
My Morning Jacket, Wordless Chorus, Red Rocks, Morrison, Colorado, 08-04-11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33coWcexoY4#ws)
i really like this clip.. where Yim stops in the middle of the song to make sure everyone's "alright" (skip to 2:18)
and then just jumps right back into the jam
was their a fight? what happened? give me the good gossip!
Has anyone gotten their promo poster in the mail? Im still outa town and am nervous about it arriving this week. Was it shipped UPS or Fed Ex or USPS? I put a hold on all mail from USPS.
mine has not yet arrived. will be a nice 1-2 punch with the burwell.
The scuffle was one row behind. According to penny lane security had to jump into the crowd to get rid of a guy. I turned around and saw two dudes on the ground then heard Jim stopping the song. Weird moment but kind of appropriate for the randomness of the evening.
Every Jacket show is unique and deserving of an "oh my god that was incredible" review. This one was nuts and surreal and amazing. The guys HAD to know that the front and center section was taken up by us crazies. TEO swears he saw Jim wave at Penny and I just know Jim checked out crazylove several times. How could they not notice us? We were insane...hugging each other, dancing, jazz handing and doing the "hey hey hey hey!!!" during the end of touch me pt 2.
Great to meet mntgirl, Vespa, TEO, crazylove, e wind (and his awesome buttons!!!), Seeker and so many others who showed up.
One final note.... A special thank you to Crispy who put us up in his cabin, fed us delicious food (oh that guacamole!!) and kept the fire going until late in the night. You put together something very special there my friend and it was much appreciated. That Crispy Manual is going to sell like hotcakes!!
Loved your review wizard!!! You were spot on about the wind. Amazing.
I think the highlight was the way they played Dondante. Someone else could probably explain it better but it seemed to start with the jam and then they went on to play the full thing. Whew...
PS....props to baby MMJ who came to the tailgate, stayed for about half the show and seemed to be enjoying herself. What killer MMJ parents she must have. :thumbsup:
just a few photos of forum folks having fun. i'll leave it to the pro's to post pictures of the band. in case you can't tell, rumor has it we had fun.

Anyone else notice the big sign saying "no taping or recording". Could this be a sign of great things to come? Like an official recording? IDK, in 2008 i was behind the sound booth (this year row 18 far side), but there were 3 or 4 tapers with equipment in plain site in 2008 right behind booth. I though MMJ was taper friendly. Did they change policy since 2008?
this show was absolutely incredible, and it was so awesome to meet so many people at both MMJ and Primus/Flaming Lips. i may have came to and left colorado alone but at both shows i was surrounded by friends, thanks to everyone for making an amazing concert that much better.
-nate
e_wind, Im just going to say I'm glad you got 'strangulation.' I know how much you wanted that one. Very jealous of all those who went. ive missed two Jacket shows at red rocks. I hope one day I can make it out there.
What an amazing show! Thanks to everyone on the forum for being so kind to us - what a great group of people! Always an amazing experience to be at Red Rocks and in the Colorado Mountains in general.
Me made it home safe,
memory in overdrive....
will post more later.
;)
Love the pics guys! Look forward to seeing more :)
Where to begin...
The show was, of course, beyond any words. I really can't believe the set list we got. My favorite show by far music wise, scenery wise, people wise. I would be very surprised if any other show surpasses that. I have seen some great shows and have been lucky to hear some gems from their catalogue, but prior to the show all I was really wishing to hear was The Bear. I was not able to attend the TTF night at T5 and I thought it would certainly be magical to hear at Red Rocks. During our ride up to the show we were listening to Acoustic Citsuoca and I mentioned this then, putting it out into the universe. So when I heard Patrick on the drums in the beginning of this song I almost didn't believe it was happening. But what could be better than hearing the one song you have been wishing for and have never seen live? Transitioning right into Steam Engine. Flawlessly. Mind, body, and soul blown to bits.
My days in Colorado have already become some of my fondest memories. Each time spent with the people from this forum always trumps the last. It's wonderful to be part of such an amazing little family we have here and see it grow with each new person that enters. I don't think I've laughed so much in such a short amount of time in my life. It's impossible to summarize all of the events and standout moments, but as I sit here writing this review I can't help but laugh out loud thinking of the recurring SAGE joke at Crispy's cabin. That and Crispy's lovely impersonation of Sasquatch during our bonfire--both takes. Thank you, Crispy, for being a top notch host and thank you to all of you that I spent time with. My heart is full and I am so sad for this once in a lifetime experience to be over.

We were right behind the sound board and saw a nice camera on a tripod. I asked the VIP security guy if that was typical at Red Rocks and he said no (the camera shots on video screen were from a roving handheld). Not sure who was recording and for what purpose, but this could be why they didn't allow tapers. MMJ does not have a problem with tapers under normal circumstances...
I was so happy to see all those who made it to the tailgates, the shows, and the cabin, and greatly missed all those who weren't able to. Thank YOU peeps for making the whole thing so much goddamn fun!

Red Rocks very strict with taping, saw security more than once yell at camera person.
I echo what's been said above.
Will never forget what just happened and who it happened with.
Beautiful venue, perfect gathering, great time at Crispy's, great entertainment (Teo, roast marshmellow closer). Setlist incredible, HOTBM dancer even more incredible, can someone find that guy for me?
Nate, Seeker, Minneapolis, ewind, Jane, Mnt Girl and Mnt Man---great meeting you!
the rest of you, i'll miss you on Friday--but i'll be there in spirit-like the rest of you were at Red Rocks. XOX to Red Rock buddies. Will never forget.
I hate all of you.
Haha. 8)
Looks like it was an awesome time.
Looks totally unbelievable! I am enjoying all of the posts and photos both on here and on FB. Totally missed being there fer shur! So happy for all who went and got to experience the magic in the mountains.
Now, business related item as I prep for MPP. How did the ticketing go? Do you just show your ID at will call? thanks!
:-X

Highlights:
-The freaking dance party that was First Light. The whole place was getting down!
-Honest Man...it was dirty, it was loud, it was huge!
-Dondante, WTF!
More notes on Dondante: heavy wind summoning spirits and sound, thick heavy jam with serious (good) fuzz going on moving into an easy swagger, and Carl's sax. He FILLED Red Rocks with his sweet notes at the end. Magical Carl.
-Smoking from shooting - uh, did anyone else notice Tom at the end? Making bass love to his amplifier? Fucking rock-n-roll!
-Strangulation- what can you say?
;D liz, everyone of these comments made me laugh out loud in agreement!
would have loved to see the crowd during 'first light.'
after that show i just didn't know what to say. a few days later i will say this: some shit went down.
damn.

gorgeous scenery, lovely people, best band in the world, insane setlist, camp crispy, delicious apple, campfire, devil's water, cave man speak... what a trip. thank you to everyone there who helped make it unforgettable. those who weren't there were surely missed. and i look forward to seeing you all again!

tdb....the ticketing was no problem. other than the 7 hours it took us to drive down to the will call booth, which was practically an outhouse at the bottom of the mountain. all we needed was ID.

I was so happy to see all those who made it to the tailgates, the shows, and the cabin, and greatly missed all those who weren't able to. Thank YOU peeps for making the whole thing so much goddamn fun!

I have to queue this up. I can't believe we didn't get footage of YOUR Sasquatch. You're much better looking anyhow. ;) Crispy can do a MAD Sasquatch walk.

after the show we drove to crispy's in the dark. the next morning i woke up and saw this out the window. i thought, "ohhh."
TERRIFIC PIX, YWNA!
(i'm using the wifi on the plane as i fly home. i am doing my best not to belly laugh. ky, you are making it difficult. ;D )
my only regret of this past wk is that Beth & I had a friday flight to catch and couldn't make it to Crispy's cabin. From what I've heard, read and the pictures I've seen, it was surely the perfect cap to a perfect few days. Few things in life are perfect but there was nothing missing for our few days at Red Rocks. Even the dream of it pre-show wasn't as good as the real thing.
Not crossing this one off the bucket list because I NEED to do it again someday.

i'm just glad by 3, we still had an able driver because mountain driving is no joke! :-) i think out of 40 people, there were 3 fit to drive....haha
Oh, how I miss my jacket peeps!
ynwaLiz, your pic from the loft window is the best I've EVER seen! Wizliz, super comments! And yes, we did see Tommy making sweet, sweet love to his amplifier. RAWR
Seeing these photos is so great but it also makes me miss you guys so much more. Look at all the smiles!

And I could only imagine waking up to that view after the late drive to the cabin. Excellent! :thumbsup:
Hey guys!
It was great to meet you all at Red Rocks last week. What an amazing time and what a great group of people!
Well, after a long drive home back to Minneapolis and getting settled back down, I finally edited my photos from the show. The really unfortunate thing was that all photographers had to bring their gear out of the show after the first three songs. Even though you can only be in the photo pit for the first three songs, I usually get some of me best shots from the crowd later in the show...but not this time. So, here they are...the first three songs:

Enjoy folks! If there are any that you want, click the envelope icon on the gallery and just ask, I would be happy to send you some copies of what you want. If you want to share the gallery via Twitter or FB, you easily do so by clicking the envelope and it will give you the option.
Again, great time everyone! The whole Minneapolis crew thanks you!
Nothing I could say here would add to the above. But I will say this:
CRISPY, You are the best! Such a lovely host and I thank you for all you did for us. Also, I would like to say that the folks at Camp Crispy on Friday night were very very kind for putting up with a mildly fussy Baby MMJ! She had a great time and is recovering nicely from her Second Face Melt (not counting the in utero one's).
Best. Ribs. Ever.
:-*
(http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o291/okonokos/MielleatRedRocks2011.jpg)
I love that pic SO MUCH! It was so great to have you guys there, and did anybody notice baby MMJ being fussy at all? Not me. Hooray for ex utero Face Melts!
I also enjoyed lying on the deck watching meteors with your hubby snoozing in his chair.

TESTIFY! :thumbsup:
can't stop looking at that pic of mielle! adorable in 40 ways.
thank you, vespa & mj for bringing the fireball! MYTHIC.
Baby MMJ is so adorable and really held it up quite well this weekend. Happy to meet your family!
I'm feeling sick today. Jason must not have eliminated all of that sage. Gonna have to have a little chat with him about that when he returns...
I can't really add much to what's already been said about the show, except it was one of the best concert experiences of my life.
I've been fortunate to see some great shows over the years, but this night, in this venue, with all these great forum friends gathered to see this band, add up to a show that will be hard to top. 8)
To all my friends I've seen shows with before,and those I just met for this one, I'm so glad we got to do this one together. Everyone one of you added so much. The party starting at 1:00, the laughter,and rocking the 1st two rows, made this seem like it was "our" show to me. Looking around at everyone in our group loving, and rocking out to our guys from so close, was one for the ages!
Camp Crispy is something I hope we can do again someday. Hopefully much sooner than later. It was the perfect capper to an amazing few days. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much, and so hard, that wasn't chemically enhanced. ;) (Those days are long gone for me). It was non-stop fun, and I'll cherish all the memories forever.
Chris... you were a wonderful host! Thanks so much for getting the ball rolling on JFW, and opening your place to us all. :beer:
Lastly I want to close with a quote from our host that I find myself laughing to all over again when I think about it. I'll be having flashbacks to your Sasquatch, and this quote forever. Thanks again!!
"Fifteen's my limit on schnitzengruben"
1) Baby MMJ was NOT fussy. Sweetest kid ever because I'm sure we looked very frightening, all smiling in her face and laughing non-stop.
2) Ribs were amazing, but I want the guac!
3) I think I'll need to randomly pull out my notes and read over all the quotes from Camp Crispy. With one of the best being: [Chris as he addresses the imaginary mountain lions standing at the fence] "Hey! There's people from Jersey over here!"

These pictures? Beautiful....captured the feeling of the night completely. Thank you for sharing. Nice to meet you, too!! :)
where to begin....
it was really nice to finally meet EVERYONE. My friends and I all had a really great time. this experience for me was a dream come true and to be surround by people i love, and people who love the band and the music is more than anyone could ask for.
thank you forum for your hospitality under the canopy and saving some seats for me and my gang. They were all really happy to see such a nice group of people who couldn't have been more welcoming.
as for the show, MINDBLOWING! three hours of just nonstop rockin and rollin. the kind that shakes your soul. As the band entered the stage i felt my knees shaking. it's such a rare feeling but very humbling when you attend a lot of shows. I'll never forget how much the wind swirled around. not only because my lips were chapped as shit but it felt like when the songs would swell or get louder the wind would pick up. we were all in this together not just as fans but mother nature as well. hands down, my favorite jacket show ever.
last note - that rumble during the encore ended up right where i was standing but i was so into the show i kept singing as i was looking down at this man being jumped on. then Jim stopped the show and asked if we were all right and you can just see how genuine he is and caring about the fans when he looks directly at you and asks a question. i'm SO glad that Baby MMJ got the eff out of there because that would have been a terrible place to be.
see yall friday!
That's my buddy in the Horse Head pic. I'll have to show him your photos.

1) Totally agree. If baby MMJ was fussy, I must've missed it, because she was not only beautiful, but pretty damn chill,imo. 8)
2) How could I forget about the guac? Chris needs to bottle that or something, ala Newman's Own salad dressing. "Camp Crispy Guac"! :thumbsup:
3) God...if you had notes or a recording from Camp Crispy, it would be a BEST SELLER! So many one liners......"There's Rules People", "Eagle Scout", "Dueling Banjo's"? and I can't leave out..."Box fan, Straw hat, and a Machete". ;) Too many to list. Must go back.
The quote of Crispy's Cabin for me:
"It was semen or puke or diarrhea, but it WAS NOT any bigger than the size of a nickel!"

baby mmj was an angel. such a good sport for all of the nuttiness going on around her.
god i am just cracking up reading thru this stuff! soooo many good one liners ;D ;D ;D
my favorite - during jim's yoga poses: "i wish i could JUMP on him right now. god, the things i would DO!" - crazy love. i like her style & i like her moves :thumbsup:
that pic from the loft is gonna be my go to shot when i'm having a bad time. how could you not feel good looking at that?! THANK YOU CRISPY for welcoming us into your home. even us sketchy nj peeps, so what if it was just to help feed the wildlife. That sure was some D-lish guac.
I just remembered that I threw a couple of my big red buttons on stage hoping they fall into the right hands....
Wonderful time folks! Got back late last night, still haven't had to time to fully process it!
Hanging out with all you guys was once again the best time I've ever had, hope to do it again soon.
In the meantime I'm putting together a public photo gallery on The Steam Engine. I've got Headhunters, Jeff Luke and my pictures up. If you'd like to share some shots from this weekend shoot them to thesteamengine23@gmail.com and let me know what name should get credit for them and they'll go in the JacketFestWest2011 gallery! Right now we've got around 100 cool shots in there.
Here is the gallery so far:

dear lovely forum peeps,
i was behind y'all in line and had the opportunity to chat with a few of you. i was the one who took your group photo - and almost ran with that sweet camera.
thank you TEO for the "VIP" bracelet - even if it didn't get me into the first 2 rows...3rd row center was ok i guess.
thank you "Salt Lake City dude" (sorry i never got any names besides TEO - forum or real life) for the stickers and buttons.
thank you to the cute young gal for the great conversation on the merits of BJ Cole vs. Nick McCabe. loved your pics of Mad Richard too. never thought i'd be talking BritPop on line at the MMJ show, but it put a smile on my face. btw my innernets handle has always been "elephantstone" - now shortened to e-stone. i trust you know where that's from
you guys have a great little family going on here. i can't tell you how refreshing it is to see people as geeked out over great music as i am. that kind of passion is few and far between with the friends i have these days. hope to see y'all out here again.

hey estone---it was very refreshing to be able to talk about Richard the Stone Roses---i get a lot of flak for that! of course i know where it's from! thanks for taking our picture and being a part of our tailgate. (and of course there's no comparison between BJ Cole and Nick McCabe is there?)

Hey e-stone-- great post! was truly a special day into night,.
we will have to talk to management as that VIP bracelet should have got you into row 1 or 2, not all the way back in row 3 ;)
thanks for sharing the passion. (and for the great group photo)

Welcome to our family My Brother in Jackethood! Now you will develop life long friends from coast to coast as I have done if you care to...
Un friggin believable. Just got back yesterday and finally had tome to read thru this thread. I'm in tears of joy seeing all the pics. What a memorable weekend. My brain is fried. I could go on and on but the memories that stick out for me the most are these and somewhat in order!
1. Hearing someone yell BH and looking up to see TEO and Pennylane 100 feet above in line to get into the venue! Ha! I'll never forget that.
2. Squeezing in the second row and seeing everyone after thinking I may have lost my chance at getting some peep time in. (Thanks especially to Seeker who definately gave up some elbow room because of me. I owe you one big time.)
3. Getting a new Jacketfest bracelet from TEO and meeting and getting a Jacketfest button from EWind.
4. Walking up to the very top of Red Rocks with my wife to watch the sun going down and Denver in the distance. Just plain sick venue. Yani would rock there.
5. Lay Low, holy shit.
6. Seeing Ms Y. in the front where she should be, and only being one row behind!
7. The Bear. :'(
8. First Light Tonight.
9. Seeing Ky rock the fuck out and having a flood of T5 memories wash over me.
10. Looking at Baby MMJ sleeping during Slow Slow Tune. Wow.
11. Backwards Sick Ass Dondante. My wife: "Are you crying?" Me: "Yes, yes I am."

13. Our crew chanting at the end of Touch Me II. (This might have been the highlight in a strange way for me. I felt so close to all of you at that moment.)
14. Having breakfast a 1:00 am with my wife talking about the show.
15. Being sad about missing the Chrispy Cabin Experience. But.....
16. Drinking 247 Two Ounce microbrews at the Keystone Beer and Bluegrass Festival and then watching the Lolla webcast at the condo to close out may amazing weekend. It was very Circuital.
After seeing all those pictures, it just warms my heart knowing you guys had another great couple of days.
Finally, I had no idea till the next day that Burwell did the poster. doh! It is going to be my lifelong mission to find me one of those.

Un friggin believable. Just got back yesterday and finally had tome to read thru this thread. I'm in tears of joy seeing all the pics. What a memorable weekend. My brain is fried. I could go on and on but the memories that stick out for me the most are these and somewhat in order!
1. Hearing someone yell BH and looking up to see TEO and Pennylane 100 feet above in line to get into the venue! Ha! I'll never forget that.
2. Squeezing in the second row and seeing everyone after thinking I may have lost my chance at getting some peep time in. (Thanks especially to Seeker who definately gave up some elbow room because of me. I owe you one big time.)
3. Getting a new Jacketfest bracelet from TEO and meeting and getting a Jacketfest button from EWind.
4. Walking up to the very top of Red Rocks with my wife to watch the sun going down and Denver in the distance. Just plain sick venue. Yani would rock there.
5. Lay Low, holy shit.
6. Seeing Ms Y. in the front where she should be, and only being one row behind!
7. The Bear. :'(
8. First Light Tonight.
9. Seeing Ky rock the fuck out and having a flood of T5 memories wash over me.
10. Looking at Baby MMJ sleeping during Slow Slow Tune. Wow.
11. Backwards Sick Ass Dondante. My wife: "Are you crying?" Me: "Yes, yes I am."

So awesome to see you there and get to rock out with you once again, man. Missed you at the cabin in a big way, but then I would have had to get that bourbon condensation thing going on too.
Speaking of bourbon, last night I finally got to crack open the bottle Eric gave to me, and it is fucking fantastic -- best Manhattan ever.
247 two ounce microbrews! You know, that sounds like a lot, but when you figure it out, it's only a little over 41 beers. Big deal! ;D
Other items:
The mountain lion fence! Very effective, that, especially with all that fresh Jersey meat available on the other side.
Hand-shucked sweet corn! Ky and lil sis did a hell of a job cleaning all eight of those ears in only about 45 minutes!
The chanting at the end of Touch Me 2 is awesome because we've come to expect it live so you can pick out the crazy people that've seen em a ton of times

Agreed! We have to keep this going.
BH I love everything you said. Also...your wife is a babe. And yes, I feel comfortable saying that. But really...it was a delight to see you. What I loved most about this trip was reuniting (even if briefly) with folks from T5. After that trip and everyone slowly took their turn leaving town, I felt this sadness of "Oh, well I'll never see most of them again." And, alas, there were all your faces, rocking out together as they should be.
And all those microbrews! Nice. Any standouts??
Crispy...me and lil sis worked hard on that corn!!! ;)

Yes! New audience participation item!
There was homemade jam, Ky -- I know those two nice pint jars of strawberry(!) rhubarb jam sitting on the counter were hard to spot through the haze, but they were there, as was the open one in the fridge that I mistakenly left. /crying/
I think I actually did not express to everyone that anything in the place was free for consumption, so I apologize if that wasn't clear. If everyone was feeling like I was Saturday morning, maybe that's why there wasn't a whole lotta breakfasting going on.

Here's a pic from my fridge from a few weeks ago. The Old Chub is definitely more of a fall/winter beer for me but the Yella Pils was excellent summer drinking.

Nice! How was that Vanilla Porter? Looks delicious.
I'm mostly an PA/IPA guy these days and so I love the Dale's Pale Ale and the Gubna is the most hoppy thing I've ever had. Plus it's really fun to say "Hello Gubna."
The quality on this is not so great and there is a lot of wind over the mic, but look at the time stamp. This Dondante at RR lasted 20 minutes.
20 minutes.
And the view within the last minute when he pans the camera back and you see Carl on the big screen and the city in the background. jesus christ.

I'm really enjoying all the pictures and cheerful glow this gathering produced. I am very much a "civilian" among all you hard-core MMJ fans (I didn't understand the Touch Me Part 2 chant for example).
Thanks for letting an old rocker, but MMJ newbie (only my 4th MMJ show!) share it with you. I am really sorry My Wife couldn't meet all you cool people, but she was training for a Triathlon which she did on Sunday. My Wife and I will do our own traveling to Alpine Valley Wisconsin for PJ20 over Labor Day Weekend. I hope that at least Jim James will show for that one too. The great time I had with you all, will set a high bar for that event. I will surely post about that experience somewhere on this forum.
Here's hoping for a Red Rocks JacketFestWest gathering every summer. MMJ fans are waaaay cool in my book!

I beg to differ. You are no newbie my friend. You are a Professional. As I said to you last week, so glad you were wearing the Roll Call shirt and it was a treat to hang out and rock out with you. Our group had veterans and rookies and each and every one made the "whole" greater than the sum of it's parts.

HELL yes, you can count on a Camp Crispy JacketFestWest every year MMJ plays at Red Rocks! And now you guys know how to get to the place! ;D
Of course we will also have the Upper North Lot JacketFestWest every year too!
As long as they tour I can't see them skipping Red Rocks, since this is the first heavy heavy tour year since 2008. Heres to hoping they play again before the 7th studio album is released!

I would do a JFW every year even if there isn't a show and sit on Crispy's porch for hours. Next time I'm bringing a book. Some Willa Cather would be completely appropriate.

KY- i still go from feeling the wonderful afterglow of the days to great sadness that it's over. your picture of the fat tire brings back the smile and happiness of everything good! thanks for a happy feeling at the end of a long and tiring day. looking forward to your smile on friday!

That's pretty much what I do while I'm there! The book and the view get about equal time.
I thought I'd share a couple pics. First, a bit of that view:

ky - great pic! it's literally a snapshot of my camp crispy experience. which i'm missing so so much. and of course you said willa cather!!! wonder twins, activate! take shape of a bear! take form of a bucket of water! (need to take care of that sage jason missed)
crispy - great pics too! i'm in love with that view!!! also, very honored & sorta blushing that my flair made your beer fridge :beer: cheers! the campfire aftermath was a little disappointing, tbh.
i would absolutely do camp crispy every year, even if mmj wasn't playing RR.

Of course I said Willa Cather! We're wonder twins. We share everything. We're like Anne and Diana from Anne of Green Gables. Bosom friends. ;D We even notice the same kind gestures a person makes when everyone else is oblivious. :-X I'm going to give you the biggest hug tomorrow.

just watching the bear > steam. I think my life is all downhill from that moment. it makes me sad that theres no still no recording...
edit: full body chills when the first "so" comes in...
Holy shit, do I spy Ranger IPA in a can?
GET OUT!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-XgvHPt1cg#)
Imma gonna steal that Crispy Fridge I tell ya!
Hey BH, the Vanilla Porter was OK but that's really not my style. I'm a IPA/PA/Pilsner guy and a good Irish Stout guy. I was actually kinda disappointed with the Breckenridge beers. There's so much good stuff coming out for around here, I usually don't stray too far from the local stuff. Heavy Seas represent!
I love Dale's as well of the Oskar Blues contingent but I can never splurge for the Gubna. 15 bucks a 4 pack is steep for me.
It is Ranger in a can, and you just come out here and try, Ruckus! I'll give you as many beers as you can drink, but you ain't taking my fridge. I was hoping you guys would enjoy that photo.
Have you had O'Dell's 90 Shilling, Ruckus? An excellent Scotch ale, one of my favorites from the old Ft. Collins days.

Right on. I can't get enough of the 4:15 mark where the wind blows and Jim keeps hitting those notes. Gives me chills for sure. That was a magical moment indeed and will be hard to top for me, too... :thumbsup:

Oh man. My heart was so full after those two songs back to back. It was prob my favorite Jacket moment to date. The first "so" is always chill-worthy but last week it nearly made me burst into a million pieces.

We won't let it end, and it'll never be over for me.I keep reliving parts of it every day, it seems. So many great memories that'll last me the rest of my life. :beer:
I think we crammed so much into such a short time, that we'll have enough material to keep this thread alive until the next JacketFestWest! :thumbsup:

It is Ranger in a can, and you just come out here and try, Ruckus! I'll give you as many beers as you can drink, but you ain't taking my fridge. I was hoping you guys would enjoy that photo.
Have you had O'Dell's 90 Shilling, Ruckus? An excellent Scotch ale, one of my favorites from the old Ft. Collins days.
Crispy, you're fridge is a beautiful thing and i mighty impressive sight.
Next year!

...no Ska Brewing Co or Steamworks Brewing Co. in that fridge though - and everyone from Colorado knows Durango has the best beer in the state!

True, I did fail in the Durango department, but I bought my supply in Boulder and ended up Northern Colorado-heavy. Next time! I also bought 4 cases of Banquets to distribute back here, Smokey and the Bandit style. (We only get 3.2 Coors here)
Hey gang,
I dont know what I could say that hasn't been said already. Incredible show, the most amazing group of people in the world, the location... Oh the memories. I want to sincerely thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all of your care, concern, patience and help you offered me over those few days. My heart swells when I think about how selfless and caring you all are. I haven't been that happy since T5.
I love you all so much! Cant wait for the next gathering.
Finally, thank you to the band for making all of this so and always giving us everything you've got.

Beautiful, VC! I just received my poster today, so thoughtfully procured and sent by THE man, ericm. I will also have mine framed with another of ynwa's sweet stickers, and a JFW button from e_wind! Wish I'd have gotten hold of a couple of his stickers too.
Also beautiful, Soulshine! Can't wait to see you again, and rock out sans boot!
Those Owl stickers are fantastic! Were those eWind's? I'm so confused about board names v. actual names these day. Anywho, I have one of the small owl ones, but I couldn't find it when I put this frame together (Matthew had stuck it in his book). A large one would be pretty sweet to add to the frame. (Conveniently, when we fly into PDX there is an IKEA essentially down the block and we just popped in for meatballs a frame for this bad boy on our way home).

They sell meatballs at IKEA too?? Dammit, I knew I was missing on more than just cheap furniture.
Yeah, I think those owl stickers were e_wind's. Sure would like to get a couple of those... ::)
Yep, SWEDISH MEATBALLS! It's the gravy packets that really kill, though! (And the lingonberry jam to accompany) :o :thumbsup:
I couldn't make RR 2011, so I've been scouring You Tube and came across this video. It's Wordless Chorus when Jim paused to make sure all was well with the crowd (2:18 or so). The video is dark/blank at first, but wait for it.
Ever the peacemaker. I love that man to pieces.
Enjoy,

It was my husband Matt (mr mtngurl) that made the owl stickers. If anyone wants one you can send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I'll get one out to you. pm me and I'll give you my address.

This reminds me, something else you didn't get to sample besides mom's jam was the homebrew. The jam's better. ;)
God I miss JacketFestWest.
Just preparing you people...when it hits about mid-January I am going to start longing for summer and moaning about wanting to make plans for the coming months. So ya'll better ask Santa for a 2012 planner and start blocking out days.
:thumbsup:
Oh, and Hangout Fest is mandatory, too. ;)
i considered booking a condo for hangout 2012... the dates leaked. we can get one really really close. i say we pull the trigger for Jacket(forumfolk)festsouth2012.
I wanna go to hangout fest!! How many can you fit in that condo of yours e? ;)
I can't book it until I find out when I get hoke from Spain (studying abroad). But if we get people to commit I'd be down to book two condos in a month or so. Dates are may 18th-20th.

Me too. :'( I'm so sad and don't know what to do with myself now that Philly is out for me. I have no idea when my next show will be.
I will be right there with ya sister about the itch in January! Hoping we can make Red Rocks happen again. Hangout will be stretch for me with my work schedule but perhaps I can finagle something for that one as well. I could always say I have another wedding to go to that I'm in. ;)
Edit: Just realized the dates for Hangout...work will be slow by then and this is right after my birthday. Late bday gift to myself? Why not?!

im pretty interested in this also...
I'm in for Hangout for sure! We booked in jan last year :-)
when i find out my plans for the future, ill start a new thread about it! no matter the line up the beach plus the music is too good to pass up.
i think its gonna get harder and harder and to get close condos every year
mtngurl pleeeease come to Hangout this year.
I agree e_wind. It was the perfect setup. Music+beach+booze+pool+late night swims+waking up to the sound of the ocean every day.
Beth and I are in for Hangout 2012. A big regret missing it this year and we will be planning on joining all the gang in May.
We will leave the Speedo's at home.

im skeptical, dont worry. some guy who worked at hangout posts on inforoo and said last year the dates for 2012 were already set and on the back of the main stage there were signs for it for the volunteers or some shit I don't really know but I got that from inforoo. The condo I book would probably need to have a cancellation policy for me to go through with it

Am I crazy or are those backwards? I remember him going up the sidethingy on Carl's side at RCMH?????? Though, I did have quite a few Jack n Cokes that night.
You're crazy, VC! Or you were on BH's level with the shirt condensation. He most certainly went up Jim Side. I'd link the youtube vid of the happening, but thankfully it's been set to private by the owner. ;D
(besides, if they were backwards, Jim would be left-handed ;) )

giving you a rather intimate peek into my home life: just today am doing the laundry from camp crispy. you should all be proud to hear that my hoodie still exuded strong CC Campfire Aroma™. :o
another fave moment: matthewj. & i came down from the campfire to watch the meteor shower & lightning storm on the cabin porch. when we got into the cabin, vespa was in deep slumber on the couch, audibly sawing logs. mj looked at her sweetly and said, "that's my baby!"
penny & soulshine laughed from the downstairs bedroom. ;D
as august winds down and i start to reflect on the summer, no doubt the RR days are easily at the top of the list of the summer's biggest highlight.
Just got my RR poster back from Michaels. Matted and framed and now proudly hanging across from our MSG NYE poster. I have about a dozen mmj posters from various shows but only the RR and MSG posters are matted and professionally framed. They look awesome and I will never cease to smile when I look at them each and every day.
2008/9 had NYE at MSG
2010 had 5 at T5
2011 had RR
can't wait to see what next year brings?

C'mon, sawing logs? You must be mistaken. Are you calling me out on the delicate flower rep I've worked so hard to maintain?
Mayhaps. ::) :embarassed:

Well, I was hanging with BH all night..... :beer:
Ah, that explains it! :thumbsup: :beer:
You know, I think he came out on our side too vc, but lower? I'm might be dreaming that. Jacks and cokes!
YES! I'm pretty sure he tried our side first. You know, because we rule and all. But then, since there were no Jazz Hands in sight he wandered over to Crispy's side. Pretty, pretty, pretty, sure.

I think you guys are right, and he did venture a short way up on Carl Side, but then he felt the gravitational pull of the Jazz Hands. ;D
Or it might have been after the Birth, and he figured there wasn't any point in going all the way up the other side after that. Memory's a little fuzzy.
Nothing fuzzy about my memory of VC cutting trees on the couch at the cabin, though. :thumbsup:

giving you a rather intimate peek into my home life: just today am doing the laundry from camp crispy. you should all be proud to hear that my hoodie still exuded strong CC Campfire Aroma™. :o
another fave moment: matthewj. & i came down from the campfire to watch the meteor shower & lightning storm on the cabin porch. when we got into the cabin, vespa was in deep slumber on the couch, audibly sawing logs. mj looked at her sweetly and said, "that's my baby!"
penny & soulshine laughed from the downstairs bedroom. ;D
i was in my sleeping bag on the floor downstairs. all i'm gonna say is that i sleep better w/ white noise in the background. and i slept like a baby ;)
Camp Crispy
TM and CC Campfire Aroma
TM have become trade marked. YES!!!

as august winds down and i start to reflect on the summer, no doubt the RR days are easily at the top of the list of the summer's biggest highlight.
Just got my RR poster back from Michaels. Matted and framed and now proudly hanging across from our MSG NYE poster. I have about a dozen mmj posters from various shows but only the RR and MSG posters are matted and professionally framed. They look awesome and I will never cease to smile when I look at them each and every day.
2008/9 had NYE at MSG
2010 had 5 at T5
2011 had RR
can't wait to see what next year brings?
that's quite a streak headhunter! long may it continue ;)
i'm sure the matted & framed RR poster added that extra-something to your office. which was already the coolest looking office i've ever set eyes upon. my favorites, however, are the "jim james friend pictures".
Just read the setlist thread. Can't wait til another show brings us all back together!!

anything 5 or under and I am usually "safe" ;D SWEET RIDE!
Oh, Crispy. That Jazz Hands story is marvelous. I'm feeling a little lightheaded... :thumbsup:
Can we go back to the cabin? Please? In my 7th hour of cataloging video and unrolling 35mm film at work today, I started daydreaming about standing out there under those stars...so many stars in that sky. We don't have that here...too much light pollution.
cataloging video? what are you working on, ky? ???
Some pics i took with my shitty digital camera

Those Owl stickers are fantastic! Were those eWind's? I'm so confused about board names v. actual names these day. Anywho, I have one of the small owl ones, but I couldn't find it when I put this frame together (Matthew had stuck it in his book). A large one would be pretty sweet to add to the frame. (Conveniently, when we fly into PDX there is an IKEA essentially down the block and we just popped in for meatballs a frame for this bad boy on our way home).
It was my husband Matt (mr mtngurl) that made the owl stickers. If anyone wants one you can send me a self addressed stamped envelope and I'll get one out to you. pm me and I'll give you my address.
Hey Kristin - got the stickers. AWESOME! Thanks, again. 8)

Was just thinking about the bear > steam. Those few days were probably the best of my life. St Louis MMJ, JFW, all you fools, a week in boulder. Man.

Having been to all 5 at T5, the best days of my life (leaving out a few special family moments) are probably spoken for
BUT
Those few days at Red Rocks with all of the good folks we shared it with were clearly among the best days of this year. Every time Beth & I look at the Red Rocks poster proudly framed in the living room, we smile.
I go to lots of shows by lots of bands and MMJ at Red Rocks was pretty grand. Actually I have to admit it might have been better than PJ20 in Alpine Valley. I go back and forth on that.

I'll lean to the PJ20 side. I might have had a better time at Red Rocks if i was able to enter right away with you guys. Waiting for my sister inlaw prevented me being down front with everyone else. Good news for the next time though, my sister in law now LOVES MMJ so the next time I'll be with the cool kids 8) in the first few rows........................... ;)

I regretfully didn't go to pj20, but those damn set lists were insane!!
