Spreckels Theater?

Don't tease me like that ( ;)), but honestly there's no way that the band could/would play a venue that small at their current status. I could see Jim playing a solo show at Spreckels a few years down the road. Greatest Indoor Venue in San Diego.

I'll make alot of Sacrifices for MMJ. They get top Priority over any band when it comes to the Live Shows.

seating capacity:   Spreckels Theatre:  1915
                            Pantages:  2703
                            Oakland Fox: 2800

it could happen.  But I think a show in Vegas at the Joint at the Hard Rock is more likely.

They skipped Vegas and Nashville and NYC and Texas to name the some big ones that I imagine won't be skipped again if they have another tour this year after Europe.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

Yeah I think you're right. I would still go to RIMAC if they played here in San Diego but I think the venue is horrible. Would pay alot of money for a Spreckels Show.  :coffee:

I think if they play Vegas it will be the day after LA, probably that Friday Night.

I thought they were playing ACL this year?

Yeah they're playing ACL but played Roo and Mtn Jam but I think most would agree that those hardly count as their stops in TN or New York. They played Chicago AND Lolla.

while those hardly count as stops, that may be why those cities were "skipped" due to the clauses in festival contracts. but id say those windows are definitely over with now

This gives me a lot of hope for a possible stop up here.  Any other PDX peeps thinking about a possible "December to Remember" show by MMJ?  Stranger things have happened...

ms. yvon

wiz, is "december to remember" a winter dance theme? b/c those prom dates in athens were something i would love to do again.

also:  possible december dates?! HOO. RAY! :beer:

Oh, Ms. Y, I sure wish that was the case. I would love to don some taffeta and rock out!

December to Remember is a series of concerts at the Crystal Ballroom hosted by 94.7 as a benefit. They bring in some big names that normally don't always play the Crystal (capacity there is 1500). Past bands have included Spoon, The Black Keys, Cake, Vampire Weekend, Passion Pit, And Broken Bells. It would be a perfect addition to have MMJ play this year. One downer, you have to be right up front at the Crystal because the sound there is horrible. It sounds like some one is playing a cassette tape over the monitors if you are not in the first couple rows...

I'm dying to see Portland- this would be the perfect impetus!  :thumbsup:

oooh, the amazing sping loaded dance floor! I'd come up to the pdx if they played the crystal.

I'm friends with a guy who works at the Georgia Theater in Athens and the rumor is that jacket will be coming soon so maybe they are doing a little mini tour after this European tour
