Three more weeks til we'll be enjoying the start of JacketFestWest!!

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. ;)

this should be the best week of the summer. the level of anticipation for the week of red rocks until MPP hasn't been matched in my world since pre T5.

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. ;)

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?

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

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.

Hey guys, I hate to say this but I'm not going to be able to make it to Red Rocks. I've run into some financial trouble and won't be able to swing it. Love you guys! Rock it out for me!

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!

e_wind · Jul 14, 2011, 09:28 PM

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!

Do you know which lot you plan to park at?

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

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.

Check your PMs to contact me about Soundgarden tonight! I may not be able to get back to this forum today.

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. ;)

Oh no, poor Soulshine! Well, we do have some experience with getting people with crutches up front.

Seeker, we'll probably be in the upper north lot.
