Red Rocks?!?!?!

Wow, judging by that latest tweet, looks like two nights are actually happening!

August 3rd and 4th looks like it may be an accurate report after all.

From MMJ Facebook page:

"Do you take one Rock or two?"

Just read that myself. I will take TWO please!! So very exciting.

The setlist possibilities are unreal. Now that the Circuital tour is definitely over, THIS is when shit is gonna get interesting.

zanjam · Apr 27, 2012, 01:29 PM

I really hope it's 8/3-4. Flights only $300 from SF and I think I just roped my brother into going with me. Can't wait to meet you crazy kooks! Yahoo!

I was just looking at pricing for flights from Nashville to Denver...very affordable. With the Southwest credit card points, this is looking very do-able. Now to see when the date will actually be. Come on, Monday!

can you all tell me again about this South West CC deal?

Herm- assuming that its all GA like Red Rocks usually is, I dont think it'll sell out right away.

id offer to get a spare ticket in case, but if it is multiple nights, i dont think my shitty restaurant job for 15 hours a week can support 300$ of tickets at once. ( I gotta buy 2 already cause my lady)

You get 50,000 points for flights by opening a card. There's a $69 yearly card fee, but I'm going to cut mine up right after I use it for the first time. I don't mind paying $69 for that many points. If you will pm me your email address, I'll forward you the email they send me every week about signing up. You also need to enroll in their membership program.

Am I the only one who hopes they get rid of that ugly green eyeball in addition to changing the setlists up? This will be a great weekend trip. It looks like we are going to be spending a good portion of the summer together, eh? Particularly those of us who are also going to NFF.

Hey, the Circuital T-shirt is awesome. How could you not like a shirt that glows in the dark (sort of)?

Fully · Apr 27, 2012, 03:22 PM

I did not buy that ugly tshirt. However, apparently I wear the adorable Reno rollcall tshirt so often on Fridays that my students want to know what happened to it if I don't have it on. :embarassed: I'm such an mmj dork.

i applied for the card yesterday

I just got approved for that card moments ago myself :o :o

Totally thought they'd ding me. Huzzah!

I think the shirt is great. My wife thinks it's creepy. To each their own. If we go to Red Rocks, I'll wear the shirt just for you. At the very least, I'll see you at Newport.

What is the basis for thinking August 3 and 4? Because it's the only weekend left on Red Rocks calendarand all you travelers are wishfully hoping for the weekend?

Fully · Apr 27, 2012, 04:58 PM

You won't see me at Newport, so I'd better bring some sunglasses to protect me from the evil eye in Colorado. I haven't told my husband that I'm going yet, but if he gets to come too for free, it should be fine.

e_wind · Apr 27, 2012, 05:03 PM

Basically. I'm hoping for something later. If it goes down the week days after 3/4 I will be an unhappy boy. Any date other than 5th-10th is cool with me

I forget who said it but they seemed pretty sure about the dates. And it would be a repeat of the same weekend as last year, and these things sometimes have a way of becoming habit over the years. For example, 7/4 has become the Blues Traveler date at Red Rocks....probably has been for the past 12 or so years. So the first weekend in Aug might be becoming the MMJ standard. Although the 2008 show was on a different day in Aug (my b-day, 8/21) but we're not going to talk about that right now...

zanjam · Apr 27, 2012, 05:53 PM

And there are no other weekends on the calendar at Red Rocks that would work, and they would not put these shows up against Phish. No way, no how. A lot of people who would otherwise come to the MMJ shows will be at Phish. Not gonna happen. Labor Day is out, methinks.

Then I hope even MORE that they're up against Phish that weekend. Less Phan's for us to fight for the rail! ;)

Kids with blond dreads and the scent of Patchouli can really ruin an otherwise perfectly good evening.

Oh, I understand that logic completely!! I can't stand the wook factor, either! But from a promoter's point of view, I can't see how they would put MMJ up against one of the biggest draws anywhere, and especially in Colorado. I don't see it happening.
