LA Gibson Amphitheatre Roll Call

[blucas]

Thanks moocho for the feedback ms. Y...like death, taxes, and incredible MMJ shows, your badassery is a certainty!  The metro line with a 15 min walk in LA sounds like the right kind of adventure for this trip...gonna soak me up some LA street vibes!  Hope your work situation turns in your favor so you can see the MMJ show.

Fredo, we are staying at the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn, about a mile from universal city walk I think.  I would reverse the trip and make home base near the Greek, but I would end up driving my friends crazy worrying about getting to MMJ on time...I get pretty neurotic about settling into a comfort zone for a show.  The logistics in getting to the Greek on Friday will leave much more room for error  :)

Cheers

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

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

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
oh man, how did i make that mix up?  thanks, walterfredo!

blucas, i'm an ass.  the show is at universal so you don't need to go through any of the transpo hoops i described.  (how did i get Greek in my head? ??? )

[blucas]

Ms. Y...I may have confused the situation a bit by bringing another show into the mix :embarassed:

Jambase reported that Black Mountain is playing the Greek the night AFTER the MMJ Gibson show so I was asking about logistics between the two (nothing on the Greek website yet tho ???).  I have never been to the Greek, looove Black Mountain, and a Friday night to boot, so Karma has certainly shined brightly if this is true.  We typically have to wait weeks or months between good shows in Phoenix and now might get a "2 for 1" with our road trip to LA!!! :D

...besides...the extra replies in sorting through the confusion are helping to make the stats for the LA roll call more respectable  ;) (NY MSG Roll Cal: 494; LA Gibson: 22)

TWENTY-THREE!i was cheesed to have to miss the warfield show in sf because of my work schedule but am feeling back on velvet with the saturday san diego show.  :birthdays:

[Non Sin Breaux]

Going to San Diego on Saturday seems more manageable than San Fran. (for people also going to the LA show)

[Shug]

blucas, I'm coming in from PHX, too.  I just nabbed a room at the BLVD hotel in studio city, it's supposed to be 900 yards to the venue, nice!

I don't think you have anything to worry about if you are leaving PHX at 8:00.

I'm gonna go to the San Diego show, too.  I'll have to check out Black Mountain to see if I'd like them.  Not sure what I'll do otherwise, it depends on if my wife can come and if not, if a friend comes instead.

Looking forward to two shows in three nights, yeah!

[blucas]

Shug, I need to clarify one thing...Jambase announced the 12/2 BM show for the Greek, but I can't find reference to it anywhere else (not on band's site or the Greek site)  :embarassed:  I hope my jubilation was not premature, but keeping fingers crossed.  Anyway, enough about OTHER bands; glad to see fellow Phoenicians supporting MMJ!  Safe travels!

[walterfredo]

Do they even have shows at the Greek in December?

[gardenparty]

Good point!

they're done for the season

I am not sure but am eagerly awaiting the email thats suppose to come out this week...which will most likely get lost in my junk folder......i hope that the sound check is closer to the actual show time - I have  a feeling it wont be a "real" sound check.....but more of a casual short set.....we will see

Since none of us know anything about the soundcheck I will give my theory. First I am not going, because I bought 4 tickets, and it just was not practical. I think it will be a real soundcheck, especially for the SF, SD shows. That is a tight schedule, and I doubt they will have time to do a real soundcheck, and then have a mock one for fans. Setting up shows back to back in different cities is a hell of a lot of work. Combined with activities of daily living, I doubt the band has much time to waste. I would prefer a real one anyway. Once in a lifetime experience.

[Shug]

Doesn't look like my wife can come to the show, so I have an extra ticket for sale for cost.

Section 5, Row GG Seat 7

Let me know if you know anybody who needs one.

[walterfredo]

bought our plane tix from Oakland>Burbank yesterday.  Getting excited. 

[vespachick]

Walterfredo: will you be at Bill Graham Civic?  I will see you there! 
(Not going to LA though.)

indeed. just flying down to LA for the night, coming back up to the bay Friday. 

I guess we don't have a SF show thread.  MSG peeps are making us look bad.

Pfsssshh, newbies... years ago I was once one of them; I'm sooooo over that weeks-out build-up.    ;)
^{Unless of course I win the lottery between the 14th and now ;D}

I emailed them about getting more info on the sound check....they said expect email 3-5 days before. I also asked about time and got this...

"Since the artist's availability varies day to day while on tour, the exact times cannot be confirmed until closer to the show date. Soundcheck's can be as early as 2:30pm and even as late as 5pm. Please do not hold that as an absolute time, but rather just a ballpark figure as to when this soundcheck could occur. I hope that assists in some way."
