Wondering what's everyone's thoughts on a potential 2011 tour to showcase the new album. I'm sure they'll hit up some of the major festivals, but as a native of New Orleans I'm just hoping for a stop here in NO. With the Saenger re-opening up sometime this year (Katrina damage), I cannot think of a better place to catch a MMJ show. Legendary venue, legendary show.

Thoughts, comments, discussion on other stops or venues?

I'm in NoLa too and while they're probably not coming back to the Fest, I'm hoping that they play down here again soon. Saenger would be great, but it doesn't seem like there's any work being done. How crazy would a benefit show at Tip's be? ;D

Show at Tip's would be insane. I don't care care where in the city they play, hope they just make a stop. Very glad to see MMJ's attachment to NO after their work this year (Jim's work on PH CD, Jazzfest, Dear New Orleans benefit, Voodoo) because it's been years since they last played in NO.

Also, ever seen the show posters for any of MMJ's NO shows in 2010? I looked everywhere and came across nothing. Just assumed no artist stepped up to make one.

Brief interjection! Friends and I were at a fest years ago, and my friend brought a small djembe that was really supposed to be decorative... not really played... and it rained. The drum became very damp, and reeked of foul unknown odors.. someone once stated it smelled......."like ass." So we of course decided to (jokingly) "sell" it under the marketable title "Heady Ass Drum" ..."Hey guys, check out this Heady Ass Drum!!" and occasionally "Anyone looking for a Sweet Ass Drum?!?" We still joke about it to this day.... I think he left it there for the taking when it was time to leave.... :-X That's a fantastic comic! ...and that is indeed a Sweet Ass Poster! I dig me some B.T.E.

If the promoters wake up after sleeping on All Points West Festival in Jersey City last year I can see them stopping by. I believe it takes place in August.

I thought they went bankrupt or something logistical made it impossible to do again.

i hope the boys come back to upstate ny or vt again, but after the rather sparse attendance at those shows this past summer, they probably wont :-[

I'd say look at Waterloo since the Dead and Phish have played there, but I think people also died there from stupidity so there's that...

Oh, and swing by ol' Oklahoma along the road? :dankk2:

Portland, OR. I love that the band has some Oregon connections, makes me feel secure in knowing they will always try to stop by and play our sweet venues. I am hoping for another Edgefield show....

Gotta have another IMP show outside of DC, was the best show they did on the spring tour hands down. Other than that I hope for a hometown show as I need to make one of those since its a short drive west. To be honest though I don't really care where they tour as long as I can get another 3 or 4 shows in this year.

Does your west coast hate your east coast, or is arbitrary geographic location not a reason for violence in Sweden like it is here in the states?

There's definitely some tension, but I can't say violence really. It's mostly between capital Stockholm (east coast) and second largest city Gothenburg (west coast) and probably most prominent when it comes to sports. MMJ's been to Gothenburg so I feel like they should keep up with that tradition... never mind Stockholm, I hear they don't even like peanut butter pudding surprises there... ;)

this is a long shot but I'm hoping for Pittsburgh and Ohio area. If they like Pittsburgh, and the show from last year was awesome, then I think they'll come back.

But If I had to I'd travel to Philly....

Yessir! It's not often I take so much pride in the crowd at shows in the 'burgh... but the crowd was on it at their show last summer!! I'd say we showed 'em a good time! (And I think at least a handful of others might appreciate one of these stops too ;))

Yesssss ma'am!! I think I heard it tooooo00oo! Gothenburg! I finally know a factoid about Gothenburg, about how Jose Gonzalez & Junip co. are from there! So that irrelevant tidbit being said, I will cross my fingers for a Gothenburg show for you! :D

I'll cross my toes :D
