Not part of the Roll Call but plan on going. Wouldn't miss a MMJ show within a 3 hour radius.

I could be wrong, but my impression is that these roll call threads are simply a chance to announce your presence at a certain venue, regardless of your status as members of the roll call "club"?

Absolutely! 

Any "roll calls" under The Shows section of the forum are simply a way to have forum members share what shows they are attending and how many non-members will be tagging along (ie. "johnnYYac +3"). 

The "Roll Call" fan club was (as best I can tell) coined by the fact that we forum folks have been setting up roll calls for shows since long before I ever joined. 

In other words, don't confuse "roll calls" with "Roll Call".

Where are you all staying if you are from out of town? 

Dylanquirt recommended staying at Hollywood and Highland area and taking the metro train to the show.  Sounds like a solid rec to me.  Haven't landed on a hotel yet, though.

I'm all in.

I'm driving in from Phoenix the day of the show and getn nervous about making it through LA traffic in time to settle into a hotel  8), relax with some cocktails , wait in the will call line :-\ and get a comfy spot in the pit :D.  I'm planning on leaving PHO about 8:00 to miss rush hour, so i should make it to the eastern outskirts of LA between 1:00 and 2:00.  Also, will probably cough up extra $$ for a close hotel to mitigate the risk.  Do any locals have tips or warnings etc that would make my navigation through LA a smooth one?

Also, since it is already a 7 hour journey, I'm gonna take in the Black Mountain show the next night at the Greek (then maybe down to SD for an MMJ encore).  Is it feasible to cab it to the Greek from the Universal Studios area without going broke?

blucas:  you might be able to take public transpo TO the event and save cab fare for the ride back to your hotel.  if you stay at the universal sheraton (or anything adjacent to universal) you can take the metro red line to the sunset/vermont station (4 stops), then take either the DASH bus up vermont to los feliz blvd and walk the last 15 min (the greek is on vermont ave.), or take the Metro bus from the red line up to the greek (not sure which bus line it is, but there you are), OR take a cab from the metro station to the greek (10 min) 

i live walking distance from the greek, but often end up driving at least part way b/c of time issues.  ;D

re: show roll call:  i have a ticket but hesitate to add myself to the roll call before i know i can leave work for this. fingers crossed!

OR take a cab from the metro station to the greek (10 min) 

or better yet....take a cab to the Gibson amphitheater  ;)
