help...PLEASE

hello, I'm new here and I dont know anything about MMJ, but my boyfriend is a huge fan and has been for years. He has had some hard times and is now in rehab and will miss seeing MMJ play in New Orleans, which breaks my heart because I promised I would take him to see this band. Ive been trying to email their manager to see if I could get somethings signed for him as a surprise for when he gets out but the email address wont work. Does anyone know how I can go about getting the band to sign anything for him? I just trying to do something awesome to show him how proud i am and dont want to overly bother anyone. If anyone knows how I can do this please please let me know. Thank you :)

I know that sounded really stupid, but this band means alot to him, and Ive been promising him we would see them, even out of state, if we need to.I just never had the money and that I do, he cant go. so thanks again to anyone who takes the time to answer

What do you think this is some kind of hobo junkyard where you can just get autographs for free? sha-right. if being an addict is all it took to get a signature they would have given me one years ago.

In all seriousness, I hope your boyfriend gets clean and all works out if you're for real.

also, what's his story and why does he deserve such a glorious pleasure?

don't listen to sticky, we all totally understand, this band means a lot to a lot of people here. has helped a ton of people through really hard points in their life. I'm not sure about the autographs, but someone here will know and help you out.

cancer has touched a few of us here on this board. heres hoping to send a healing vibe to you and yours. oh and welcome to the board

LaurenB · Mar 03, 2010, 11:35 PM

Thanks to everyone thats been nice, I wasnt looking for sympathy or a free autograph or anything. Like I said I dont know anything about this band except that my boyfriend loves them. If the email link worked I wouldnt have come to the boards and Im more than willing to pay for autographs. I was just tring to do something nice for someone that deserves it. Hopefully the email link will work some other day, hopefully before Jazz fest, but thanks again for the advice

Lauren, hope you get an answer from someone and all the best to you and your boyfriend.

Icky, a little self-editing would go a long way.

dude, if she would have said cancer instead of rehab there would be no problem. I said sorry and that if she was being serious that I hope things get better. The last time I heard about cancer on here was when Jim donated his hair. That's right, somebody out their owns Jim James DNA. My few words aren't going to deter Mr. James and Co. from helping one way or another.

I'll say it again, I'm sorry but that chick called me an asshole before explaining the situation. It was their first post. Cancer sucks, Two of my uncles have it right now. It's horrible, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I hope he recovers and if needed scores a bodacious Yim Wig.

LaurenB · Mar 03, 2010, 11:54 PM

I wasnt in here tring to spread my business all over the place but I wanted people to know I wasnt some groupie looking for my 15minutes with the band. Like I said, Ill fill YOU in totally next time =)
