Old stuff that some have already read ;)

[SaraBananaBear]

When running through the interweb I do occasionally find some old MMJ stuff and though some of you (maybe even most of you) might have read some of it already, I thought I'd throw some of it in here. Just in case someone hasn't found it. :)

Favorite of the day:

But life is just a never-ending series of moving on, rebuilding and destroying.

how very circuital of him to say that  ;) ....Thanks for the read, Sara!! I hadn't found this one before.

Oooh that's true, didn't think about that, very circuital indeed! Goodie that someone hadn't seen it before. When I find something older I usually assume it's already been posted, but then I thought if I just post it in one thread hopefully the repetition won't bother people too much :)

Somebody posted this on inforoo and I had never read it before. It is Grace Potter (SHWING!!) interviewing MMJ. Good stuff!

Great stuff Sara! Thanks much. I never read this before. My favorited was

How do you spoil yourself?

"I wrap myself in tinfoil and sprinkle powdered sugar and lemon juice on myself, then I get 50 of my closest friends and do the same to them. We all get in a big plastic bag and pretend we are lemon drop candies. Then one person is the "eater" and he or she "eats" every last one of us."

JJ is HILARIOUS! He never gives a normal answer!

BTW - I just found this old article from the Wall Street Journal! Pretty cool

Sara,
Are you going to any MMJ shows this summer? When's the last time you saw them?
I am def going to see them at Mt Jam in June (upstate NY). I am going to be headed over to your part of the World in August!

Cheers,
Brian

Glad you liked it! That was one of my favorite parts as well... after all what better way to spoil one self could there possibly be? ;) And thanks for sharing the Wall Street Journal article, don't think I've read that one before :)

So far I'm going to the London show, I'd like to go to the Latitude festival as well, but it's a tad too expensive for me right now, but maybe if I smash all my piggy banks it might work out... The last time I saw them was never! So I'm really looking forward to this show :D Glad to hear that you're going to see them too, have you seen them many times before?

You're coming to Europe? Which country/countries? Seems like a good month to come over, can't speak for all of Europe, but Sweden is usually pretty nice in August! :)

Yes. I have seen them a good few times now. First found MMJ at Bonnaroo in 2005! Been hooked since! Went to all 5 nights at T-5 too, among a few others shows in the NY area.

I am going to Scotland (Glasgow) in August to compete in the World Championships of Bagpiping with my Band (NY Metro Pipe Band). Our goal is to be the 1st U.S. Pipe Band to win the championships! Fingers crossed....

But after the competition I was planning to head to Sweden to relax! I have never been before and heard it is beautiful. Especially the beaches! I grew up on the beach in NY. Believe it or not we have nice beaches in NY too (in Queens). Where would you recommend I go in Sweden? I was looking into it today and was thinking about Gothenburg. Where do you live? Feel free to send me a PM if you prefer. Would love to get some good advice from a native! I would do the same for you if you ever come to NY!  :) Thanks much

Wow!  Awesome article.  Grace makes a great interviewer.  Very cool stuff, all new to me, from '08.  I love looking back as we await the future and Circuital.
