anyone out there going to this show? I am going with a couple of MMJ virgins and I am hoping for a good turnout from the MMJ faithful. I'm hoping that I won't be surrounded by the boat shoes and oxford crowd.

I have barely heard anything about this show. I hope it is not cancelled.

My wife and I would are really trying to go to this show next week. But wow, the roll call to this is low.

Wow, is anyone going to this?

It's looking likely that I'll be rolling down there from DC. Will leave after work and probably head straight to the venue. Any idea on what the start time will be for this? As long as it's 8 or later I shouldn't have a problem, but that 10 PM end for Black Keys someone mentioned earlier has me a bit nervous they'll come on earlier than that, if that's what the venue's curfew is.

i think start time is 7pm and it's the Sons of Bill as someone said earlier in this thread. I was there for the Keys and it did end early, but I was told by someone running the FB page for the Pavilion and they said 11pm curfew. I imagine it will be similar to MPP; opener off around 8, MMJ on around 8:30.

I am coming for Va Beach with 3-4 other people. Turnout seems low since its A) a weekday B) was announced late and everyone in this general vicinity had made plans for MPP or even Charlotte.

MMJ has been my favorite for years but I've never been able to see them in concert. I'm seeing them in Charlottesville next week....I...Cannot.....Wait.

no boat shoes here

just noticed this is the last show of the US Tour (outside of ACL which is a month later)...not that they don't bring the heat every night, but maybe we are in for something extra special. their last show here had one helluva setlist.

That's what I'm hoping for! Plus the venue is nice and small so this will be a special show.

Ah, we can't go to this one. I just can get the time off from work. Have a good time everyone who can make it.

kotchishm · Aug 22, 2011, 08:55 AM

Leaving after work and coming home after. Should be interesting haha.

that's our plan too...leaving VB around 3pm and coming back right after show (about a 2.5 hour drive). Work at 8am the next day. The things we do for the bands we love...

SVRDhand13 · Aug 22, 2011, 06:10 PM

Will this show be empty? lol

Roo0811 · Aug 22, 2011, 09:19 PM

I'll be there! Leaving work early and driving down from DC with a friend. Can't wait, after the Merriweather show I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing them again on this tour. Sounds like it's not going to be the biggest show there is but will be another great time, without a doubt.

SVRDhand13 · Aug 23, 2011, 02:21 PM

This show better not be cancelled because of the earthquake!!!!!

parkervb · Aug 24, 2011, 08:33 AM

tonight tonight tonight whoaaaaa!

TheLurker · Aug 24, 2011, 09:59 AM

I will be there tonight with the Mrs + 2 friends. Still freaking out from last night's show! See you on the rail!

StaggerLee · Aug 24, 2011, 10:49 AM

Great Show last night. Once I get my head back together...will talk more.

bobyar · Aug 24, 2011, 11:12 AM

Weather will be perfect here tonight, tix still available and no damage from the quake, though, to quote the B-52s, the whole shack shimmied here yesterday. Fun venue and sound is usually top notch. Damn it's gonna be great. Too bad no Neko, but hey, we got a solo show not two weeks ago, so no complaints.

kotchishm · Aug 24, 2011, 11:53 AM

I think I'm buying my ticket when I get there to avoid the prcoessing fees and all that garbage. I'm assuming there will be some available.

Here's to hoping this doesn't turn into a UVA Frat Party....
