TUSCALOOSA?! 8/19

[Jon T.]

I was planning on basically coming in town and straigt to the show.  I just got the whole day freed up for me and I'll be in with time to spare.

Fuck. Yes. 8)

Where are we drinking?

I think Mellow Mushroom makes the most sense.  Good location, good atmosphere, good beer, good pie.  I wish there was something a little more "local", but so be it.  I'm open to anything, though.

Allow me to suggest Wilhagen's. It's an awesome local bar. It's, like, a block away from Mellow Mushroom. Great beer selection. Great food. Open patio. Only a few blocks away from the free parking garage downtown and it's a quick walk to the Amphitheatre, too.

When is a good time to show up to get as close to the stage as possible.  My friend and I were thinking around 4.  I know that wouldn't put us at the front of the line cause of the hardcore people showing up way earlier.  But what do you guys think about getting there at 4?  We have GA and I want to be at least in the first few rows of standing room.

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!

My Jacketitis has flared up into a raging case of Ceaseless Whining About It Taking Forever For Friday To Get Here syndrome (CWAITFFFTGH).

I don't even wanna see the MPP setlist tomorrow, it's gonna drive me up the walls...

P.S. Ranman, I think I'm going to show up around 3 or 4 too in order to ensure a proper buzz. It's gonna be a long time standin' me thinks.

Man, tell me about it.  The only comfort I had after getting my face rocked at RR was the prospect of another show in less than two weeks.  Dunno what i'm gonna do after Tuscaloosa. 

Also, based off the rather exciting songs they've been throwing out lately, the MPP setlist is probably gonna be fit inducing for all of us who can't go.

i just have to find a way to sneak out of work as soon as possible on friday.. it's a 4.5 hour drive up from here and i'm shooting to arrive around 4:30 as of right now. hopefully snaking out at around 11am will be no problem

I cannot wait! :D Well, I guess I'll have to wait, but still. I am so excited. Thanks for the info about the parking garage. I'm meeting up with a friend who is coming from Memphis. We've had a break in the heat this past week. I hope that Tuscaloosa has a little break too. But if not, fine with me. Jim's voice makes me a little hot anyway!

[scosby2]

it's this week!!!

And I'm alright with that!

 :'( :'( :'(SUPER SADFACE!  I have just been informed of a work thing I have to do and can't go to the show!  I have awesome seats too - bought them on RollCall presale - sect. 203 row A, front row center behind pit.  Anyone interested please PM me - I'm just trying to get my money back - no profit - selling for face!  Only kicker is that since i bought them on rollcall, i have to be the one to pick them up at willcall, so i'll meet you the day of the show an hour before (as soon as willcall box opens) to do the exchange.  Y'all have fun - I know this is going to be an awesome show - at least I'll get to see the ATL show the next night!  I also have an extra pit ticket to that show if anyone's interested - one of our buddies had to back out.  Again - no profit - just face!  And have an extra parking pass to that show that I can give to the extra ticket holder.

Can you please please please tape the Phosphorescent show too?  Besides MMJ - Phossy is hands down my favorite band. 

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Wish I could be at this one.   Would love to see Jon T and Meg!   Phosphorescent is close to the top of my "Need to see live" list AND Neko.  GTFO!

Phosphorescent = My Morning Jacket circa 2002.

I get that vibe too, especially in some of the earlier albums. Bonnaroo this year was my first time seeing them, and they really bring the ethereal "it" when it comes to performing live.

If willsfc can generously swing it, an AUD of Phos would be most sweet!

btw guys, can someone tell me what time they think the show is going to start without me having to search...

the venue site says 7PM, but Ticketmaster says 8PM. I'm not sure which to trust...
