MMJ 2011 Tour - Potential stops

[e_wind]

That lineup is AMAZING but its an urban festival and I don't really like not camping and shit.

I must be old and crotchety.  Give a sweet hotel, hot tub, and a tasty restaurant over a tent and a camping stove any day!  At least for a music festival.  I love to camp and spend time outdoors...just not with thousands of wookies in close proximity.

When I camp at music festies I feel like all rules and regulations are left at the gate and thats what I like. I find it much easier to meet new people, discover new bands, and do things that sane people in the real world don't do. I feel like for 3-4 days I can do whatever the fuck I want as long as I remain considerate to other people doing whatever they want. At urban festivals (the only one I go to is forecatle) I just feel like I usually end up coming and going to much to take in the entire experience. However, if I didn't plan on going to Roo, Waka, Forecastle, PJ fest AND starry nights this year I would be all over this.


OH YEAH, and late night shows are the best. For your alls sake I'm hoping for a secret late night bar show from  MMJ

I WANT!! I WANT!!! I WANT!!!!  :o :o :o :o

Let's have another look-a-loo here at the ol' Plannerrrrrrrrrr............

[kydiddle]

That's a pretty sweet lineup. 

[e_wind]

i keep looking at this line up and its just stupid how much it seems like its made for me (minus the electronic music)

[woodnymph]

Wow I can't believe all these fests keep lining up with days I don't have class....... but it's a 9 hour hike, which means nothing except gas monies.... and I see now that it's close to Mt. Jam weekend (which may wind up being quite a drive-a-thon for moi)

Well, looks sweet as peaches!!! 

Holy shit, WEEEEEN..... Paulie Simon, XAVIER RUDD, G Love, Keller, Slightly Stoopit...... I likes this line-up mebbe better than Mt. Jam , but I like Mt. Jam's locale wayyyyy better...... daaaammmnnnnn decisionsz......  :D

[e_wind]

One thing I really like about this is that it's before Waka/MTN Jam/Roo so based on their time slot we can get some insight into what kind of set list we'll see for the summer festival season

Man, I am on board with this line up - it looks FANTASTIC!  If only Jet Blue flew there...how long a drive from New Orleans to here?  (I have a voucher on Jet Blue).  Medeski Martin and Wood, The Lips, The Keys, The Jacket - HOLY COW!!   :o

[darkglow]

[SaraBananaBear]

Sweden! Just throwing that in there again... Please don't hit me for bringing it up again, let a poor Swede dream!  ;)

[vespachick]

2.5 to 3 hrs from NO!

Seriously Jon?  THIS MAY BE DOABLE :D

!!PERFECT DESCRIPTION!!

It actually may be a little more, sorry.  Not much, though.  It's a little less than 3 from NO to Pensacola.  Orange Beach is closer to NO geographically but it's kind of off the beaten path so it may take a little longer to get to.  Regardless, it's an easy drive and for sure no more than 3.5.  Your best bet is flying into PNS, but I don't think we have JetBlue here.

[walterfredo]

I'm hoping they were holding out on releasing full tour dates until the B-roo lineup came out. Let's see 'em!

[ms. yvon]

i like the way you think, sir!

also: spring training games this month!!

[walterfredo]

also: spring training games this month!!

catchers and pitchers reported yesterday I believe.  Spring training is a blast, I went to a game in phoenix a couple years back, Giants vs. Mariners.

And I did snag some Giants tickets during the single game on sale a couple weeks back.   Giants vs. Braves, and the big one....Giants vs. Dodgers on a Saturday at AT&T.  Life is good.

....now we need some west coast MMJ love to make it even better!

[ms. yvon]

i got in a giants game/wilco show bay area double header a few yrs ago.  a giants game/mmj show would be sublime! (and my family might even see me up there!)
