TUSCALOOSA?! 8/19

scosby2 · Jun 13, 2011, 04:23 PM

haven't been but know a bunch of people that saw the avetts and boh. since that show and kenny chesney r the only two shows there not too many people have seen it. to answer your questions though...yes it's a full show. mmj doesn't put on half shows. i'm sure the times are just a reference. it might be like 22 songs instead or 24 or something like that but should be about the same. not sure about a curfew but the venue isn't in the middle of town so hopefully they can play til whenever. not sure if they are gonna do a pit and was really freakin out about being able to get real close until i got my roll call email saying they r doing a presale. they didn't do a pit for the avetts but who knows about this thing

Phosphorescent AND Neko Case. Score!

Might be another road trip in my future for this.

i think this needs to happen...u can load up in my trunk the next morning and go to atlanta and charlotte with us...think of it as jacketfest south

not talking about a car trunk either...i still like to travel with a large wooden trunk...keeps everything very fresh

I'm thinking about catching this show, I have a lot of friends at university of Alabama, but it is the night before the Atlanta show and I'm thinking about catching charlotte too so we will see. I'm from Athens GA and I'm pretty sure Phosphorescent is an athens band...anyone know without me having to google it?

scosby2 · Jun 14, 2011, 12:25 AM

he's definitely from alabama...maybe the huntsville area. probably went to athens to get started...all the good ones usually do

Athens is an awesome music town! had to look it up, he probably started in AL but he definitely resides in athens

Glad to see y'all are excited about the show! Our amphitheatre is awesome. It's brand-new. I saw BOH & The Avett Bros back in April, and was really impressed with how cool the venue is. If you're worried about parking, you can do what we did last time--park for free in the city garage downtown and then take the shuttle to the amphitheatre.

As far as the curfew, it's no longer in effect.

pit tix...gonna be nice seeing the boys at home

thebugman · Jun 14, 2011, 01:32 PM

so is it a glitch in the system cause i thought u could only order 2 tix at a time? i got it to let me buy 4...we are going 7 deep so we have to wait til friday to order so we all get stuck together if the GA seats are gone by then....but is it so? can you really add up to 4 tix? if so, this would have saved us some waiting...im impatient.

scosby2 · Jun 14, 2011, 01:36 PM

it says 4 on the roll call welcome page now...i didnt need but two so i didn't try four...i'm pretty sure the ga seats won't be gone by friday...if you look at the seating chart the whole lower section is gonna be ga pit...assuming you buy them when they go on sale friday you shouldn't have a problem

thebugman · Jun 14, 2011, 01:50 PM

i never noticed! well we could have saved some worries and signed my bro up last night and never have to worry about it....i agree though, ga should be around til then and we will be orderin when they go on sale. well i plan on seeing you freaks there. i will be in the parking lot sellin overpriced grilled cheese if anyone wants to stop by...ha

best grilled cheese i ever ate was right after mmj in 06 at bonnaroo on the way back to our rv...got it from some hippie on shakedown street cooking on a foreman...it was drenched in marinara sauce...never had it before then or after...probably never will...but i will never forget the best grilled cheese i ever ate

SplatSplatSplat · Jun 14, 2011, 03:19 PM

Oh yeah, we're locked in for GA!

Gonna be at Red Rocks on the 4th and Tuscaloosa on the 19th. Two Jacket shows in a month. If I'm dreaming, someone's catching hell if they wake me up.

thebugman · Jun 14, 2011, 05:40 PM

the quality of grilled cheeses these days really makes me sick...kraft singles?? its all about a good quality cheese and i will show you what im talking about come t-town.

splat, thats the best news ive heard all day. glad we could get our shit together. now join the gd roll call and get legit.

RR>tuscaloosa....who is coming with me?

Got row A in section 203 this morning. You all have fun in the 2,874 person pit (with the additional 461 people that get tickets/armbands passed back to them)...

thebugman · Jun 14, 2011, 10:15 PM

jones · Jun 15, 2011, 09:27 AM

Guess this is gonna be your first show? Most jacket shows aren't seated...

Jon T. · Jun 15, 2011, 11:18 AM

Ugh. I am really struggling with trying to make this happen. I love the idea of the benefit show. It could be real cool with it being their first time there, but then again it could go the other way. The amount of brosephs that will be there might set a new record. Sticky would be in heaven. ;D

It's not about the seat itself, brah. It's about owning my own 2x2' chunk of concrete and knowing that it will still be there when I get back if I choose to make a beer run. It also helps prevent elbows in the back as well as cigarette burns in my t-shirt by the people that decided 2 hours into the show that they suddenly deserve to be closer than me (these are likely the same people mentioned in Jon T.'s post above).
