Ok, If you are not on here and are attending the show let us know. I may have missed someone (Specialist, can you work it out?)
Also John, we will find where you are and abduct you if you are not planning on being there.
nope remember, take me off.
take some extra big hits on the pipe for me though, my spirit will be floating around the palace looking for camel toes. :D
I believe Mr. JC will be there.
kymoose? Jackson? Tundra? aMillionDreams?
Do I really get to be Cap'n Crunk? That makes me feel quite special. :)

Ratsprayer I really wish you could be there but I understand. We will certainly dedicate a "Heart Stopper" in your honor.

Jesus, what's a Heart Stopper?! Is that a crunk thing?
What the hell have I gotten myself into? ;)
Okay. I gotta sleep. I'm recording tomorrow!! Bad me.
Talk to you soon, Brian... and all the rest of you. For REAL. :)
Heart Stopper?

Jackson?
Haven't seen him around lately, but Jackson told me that he would be a couple of seats down from me at our Outlook Inn listening party.
They should issue paper viking hats to all attendees so that the whole audience could participate in the viking chorus for "Into the Woods."
That is an outstanding idea!!!!!!!!!
We could make our own. We could make paper hats.
umm, if people think that's a dumb idea, I'm okay with that. ;) But I know how to make them, and I could post how.
Are they Viking style?
QuoteAre they Viking style?
Ummm, well they're those pointy ones that also go as "boats" if you turn them upside down...
So, yeah. No. Not really.
What does a viking hat look like? I can't even think of one...

you know I'm in. Front row .
This looks like it might be a nice cost effective option........................
(http://www.anjchang.com/ski04/45_-_Coke_viking_hat.JPG)
I think they have these "fridge packs" for beer now, right?
It looks to me like that's a straight up 12 pack coke case standard style, then some 12 pack mt. dew "fridge Packs" with some sort of oragami shit going on with them. If someone can decipher this folding technique and post detailed visual instructions that would be great. Meg?
Oh wow, hats. :)
I'll be there. Waaaaay in the back of the floor, but I care not.

Yeah, that doesn't look like straight origame to me. There is definitely cutting involved there, and it's possibly a labour intensive activity, and I would assume it involves some sort of bonding cohesive, like glue.
It's beyond my capabilities. :(
Anybody need a peace crane?
Those paper hats that EC was talking about would work if we could figure out how to add horns. I was just thinking paper hats because we could keep them in our pockets until we needed them. Imagine the band's surprise if a lot of us threw those on when they started Into the Woods. Sweet.
allllllll right, add me back to the crunk unit! now we can all enjoy heart stoppers together in person!
(http://www.assponys.org/smilies/nanana.gif)
realdeal may think that you are immature for wearing those hats. He hates the crack sign, ya know?
I'd wear the shit out of one if I were at the show.
You should all go to your local party store and buy a plastic hat. They can't be any more than 10 bucks.
Quoteallllllll right, add me back to the crunk unit! now we can all enjoy heart stoppers together in person!

REALLY?! YYYEAAAHHHHH!!! So fun. You should stay until Saturday. ;)
QuoteThose paper hats that EC was talking about would work if we could figure out how to add horns.
Okay. Save your paper towel rolls. hmmm... maybe not. What can work for a horn... Well, it will be Thanksgiving, so there should be multitudes of cornucopias hanging about... maybe just glue them on and spray paint them.
I will think on this.
Quoterealdeal may think that you are immature for wearing those hats. He hates the crack sign, ya know?
Did we remember to put him on the list?
He can think we're immature. Then we'll give him one, and I want to see that boy TRY not to wear it. ;)
awesome.
Actually, if I'm a girl, don't I just wear my hair in braids?
http://www.islandmadness.com/stupidhats3.html?GTSE=goog>KW=viking%20hat
This site has a regular ol' viking hat for $4.95 and a "deluxe" hat for $12.95. You can get a case of the deluxe ones for pretty cheap. Maybe one of you could pony up and get people to pay you for them when you meet up before the show.
Then you'd all have matching hats.
Meg, this is what we are going for..........

I like the "Mighty Thor Viking Hat" better than the delux and it's only 6.95.

You WOULD like the Thor hat. ;)
How come the girl's horns are smaller? >:(
And that fruit lady is cra-z.

does anyone here besides me think this keeps sounding better and better?
I may have just found the plans for the object of our desires...
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-46551/andrahtml/viking.html
I am not crafty, nor do I pretend to be. Could someone try this with a piece of paper, maybe legal sized or tabloid sized, and see if this will work?

I will work on this and see if I can do it. It's quite a design!! Holy moly.
QuoteHaven't seen him around lately, but Jackson told me that he would be a couple of seats down from me at our Outlook Inn listening party.
Yes, I'll be there for sure. I've been absent for the past couple weeks dealing with the death of my mother. She was killed in a wreck with a tractor-trailer last Monday on I-65.
I can assure you that the MMJ show will be a very welcome distraction from all that has happened recently.
See you there,
Jackson

Holy. Jackson, I am so so sorry to hear that. That must've just been so terribly shocking. Truly very sorry. xoxo
Very sorry to hear about that, Jackson. :(
Sounds like you need a rock show fix.

Crap me, this is hard. I think I'm going to have to measure an american dollar and translate those measurements to paper. I tried with legal paper, and the dimensions are wrong.
wonder how the Vikings did it?
Quotewonder how the Vikings did it?
I think they mined the caves, and hammered out the hats, and then killed giant wild boars and soldered them to the helmets.
Believe me when I tell you that the paper version is harder. I'm about to put my spelunking helmet on. >:(
I did it.
First of all, I think that dollar bill one wouldn't work on a dollar bill. It would be a viking hat for a small mouse. Not even big enough for a barbie.
Okay, this viking hat thing. You need legal paper, and you're going for length here, so keep the long end as is (ie 14 inches), and cut it so that it measures 14 x 5.75. Keep in mind that your viking hat is going to be small. I think the base measures about 5 inches.
I also didn't get it quite as lovely as the version shown. And I'd have to bobby pin it to my head, because it wouldn't stay on. If you wanted to build a viking hat that would fit your head, I would recommend stealing a poster and using that.
ok guys, these whole "making helmets out of paper " stuff, plus the fact I'll miss the show, due to family commitments, is making me sad. :'(
I am on the phone, trying to line up 2 dozen viking hats for the show. They're not sure they can have them here by Wednesday, but the guy also said he is optimistic about having them here by this Friday.
Now, I'll have to hand them off to someone coming through Nashville.
Please IM me if this is your mission in life.
Oh yeah, fuck SONY music and corporate greed.

Okay, this viking hat thing. You need legal paper,
When I first read that I thought "Is there such a thing as illegal paper?" ;)
Quote
When I first read that I thought "Is there such a thing as illegal paper?" ;)
Yeah, it comes from the wood of "buring" trees. ;) (hi dith!! :))
tracy, how come you're sad? Are the paper hats making you sad because they're kind of dorky?
Also, I had an idea. Do you guys do firecrackers at your Thanksgiving tables? You know those things that you "crack" and there's a prize inside, and a joke AND A CROWN?! Because the crowns could also be good things to wear for N2theWoodz. Like, hey?
So.... anybody feel like doing an early raid and stealing their family's crackers for the hats? :D
headed to Mammoth cave with a pick, hammer, and cross-bow...
Quoteheaded to Mammoth cave with a pick, hammer, and cross-bow...
I'll meet you there. :) I'll bring my axe (to tame them) and I'll bring my soldering iron.
are we going for real viking helmets....

or fake ones:

Woah. That 2nd one should be worn by Brian's fruit lady, methinks. Yikes.
I think I might have to find the second one....

Jackson I am sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you and your family are doing OK.

Oh Jackson how dreadful. You have some time out with the jacketeers and enjoy yourself.

This may be a good time to re-live the words of the mighty Wooderson........"Ya just got to keep on living man.....L-I-V-I-N."
i was given the choice to either see MMJ on Thanksgiving, or visit my sick Grandmother. ..and i've got to do what i gotta do, so go ahead and scratch me off the list. :-/
Sorry to hear about your Grandma, Specialist. But believe me, Grandmas are WAY more important than My Morning Jacket shows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felt the need to bump this magnificent thread, as I suddenly got a big wave of excitment.
Things that I will do in Kentucky:
Buy a six pack of PBR in a can in the CONVENIENCE store
Not spend an hourly wage on a pack of smokes
Smoke inside
Sleep in hotelz
See some lovely friends again
Go to Ear X-tacy
Go to the waterfront
See the Brown Hotel of Elizabethtown fame
Drink my favourite bourbon
Did I mention the smoking inside part?
Perhaps wear a viking helmet.
Oh yeah, and see some band that somebody was talking about or something.
(huzzah!)

If I may suggest, if you have time, Go here: (Genny's Diner)
http://www.iglou.com/restaurants/genny.shtml
For perhaps the best burger I've had and some fab frickle fried pickles. We found it last month, just a stones throw from Bardstown Rd.
Mentioned it to some folks from Louisville at the Knoxville show, and it's where the guy proposed to his wife.
Mentioned it to Patrick after the Nashville show and his eyes rolled back in his head.
Don't let the outside scare you, it's a Louisville must!!
Oh yeah, the place with the "Flying Pickles" ;D
It's frickled pickles. And I got some bad news, smoking ban went into effect last week so you can still smoke in bars but no restaurants. Looking forward to the show! MMJ Home for the Holidays!

Can. not. wait.
And aMD, smoking is bars is awesome. I can smoke outside after dinner. You can't smoke anywhere here.
And I feel like a big nerd for even caring about this. But it's so cooooold.
Quote And I got some bad news, smoking ban went into effect last week so you can still smoke in bars but no restaurants.
It's not quite that cut and dry. It all depends on what percentage of the restaurant's sales are alcohol. If above a certain percentage you may still smoke in the restaurant. We went to Ramsi's on Saturday (site of Jim's favorite Burrito) and they were smoking like chimneys in there. BBC, site of the pre-show meetup, is both a restaurant and bar that also fits that bill.

Oh, yeah. Ali's from da ville. That's why they call him the Louisville Lip!

just remember, the best way to avoid that is to start acting totally crazy. nobody approaches a person for devious purposes who is shouting the lyrics to say, "Mexicali Blues" for instance.... ;)
pepper spray works too. seriously. Detroit was just named the most dangerous city in the US. Louisville was named 7th safeest, though, so once you hit the bluegrass you can get rid of your pepper spray.
