I'm in! My 3 questions were:

1. For Jim James. What do the lyrics to your songs mean to you? For me, in a song like "The Bear" or "Golden", the lyrics are so deep and meaningful. But I guess that is the beauty of music. Each song can mean something different to each person. However, I read somewhere that the words you sing are more about their sound then their meaning? Is it true you try to choose words that harmonize and blend with the rest of the band. Because, in my opinion your voice is just another instrument in the band but the words that you sing can have such a impact on the song. I feel that your earlier recordings were more from your soul and your later stuff is you evolving with the band.

2. For the band. How great was it to have Jimmy Quaid back on stage with you again the first night at T-5 for the Tenn Fire album?

3. For Patrick Hallahan. What was it like to play Levon's drum kit at his barn that night in Woodstock? You looked like the happiest little kid up on stage that night :)

nice questions dodo....except it's johnny quaid :D

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!

LOL. I guess I had Jimmy James on the mind when writing my Q's. I was in a rush!

dang, i think that's an automatic DQ  ;)

If cities we're children of MMJ Louisville would be the fat child that they lied to when they said they love each of their children the same, where as NYC would be the talented brain surgeon that made them proud.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the NYC child owns the studio where VH1 records Storytellers.

Which he owns because he's a brain surgeon!

I entered, and have to admit feeling pretty giddy throughout the whole process! Best of luck to all here who entered, I hope a lot of true fans win!  :)

[ALady]

I applied...y'all know I would fly out for this in a heartbeat.  Great excuse to see the folks I missed at the T5 reunion!

I had trouble with the questions...I wanted to get my responses in quick, but didn't want to sound like a complete idiot.

Gah.  Good luck everyone!   

[MMJ_fanatic]

E-mail sent, fingers, legs, toes and eyeballs all appropriately crossed for tickets.  I don't live in NYC but am able to spend all of Thursday, Friday and Saturday there, if necessary!  Thanks to MMJ, MMJ management and Monsieur Riny!

[bluesky]

 Sent mine in earlier today as soon as I found out, did it so fast forgot to write on it that I found out about the tickets from being a member of the forum. Duh! Went back added that info in and resent it. Could really blow my chance or totally make it  :P

[johnnYYac]

Hmm.  Seems I submitted questions for the band back in October... :(

Good luck to you lucky New Yorkers.  I posted a more snarky response to the news this afternoon, out of jealousy, that didn't appear to make it onto the board.   ::)

Can't blame those who can go for the fact that the taping will be in La Grande Pomme.  I won't mind if an Omnichord question makes the cut.  I'd also love to hear what Jim has to say about songwriting with emotional honesty, such as "none of this is physical" or "your ass it draws me in..." which I discussed with a fine lady this past weekend.

Again, good luck and represent!

I applied anyway on the off chance taping is delayed (you never know?) and included an onmnichord question (general - where/why/how did you get it, what does it do for you, and how has it shaped your approach, or something to that effect). I said they can use my questions even if I'm not selected, so if that makes the cut, I dedicate it to you, comrade

Haha, I said I was a member when explaining that JohnnYYacc and Sticky and I are slowly working on a covers project!

If I didn't have meetings with the HUD next week, I'd be there in a heartbeat.  Stupid work!

[Honest Man]

I'll try and settle the "Whats Jim saying at the end of Steam Engine?" debate if can. He probabaly wont say regardless, but still.

DAMN! Wish I thought of this one. Good question though.

didn't see anything in the rules about only 1 entry per person, so - can't see how it would hurt to re-submit.  actually, based on that, i think it would help more than hurt.
