Jim Nashville 2/1/13

[spence]

The location is so intimate and so private that winners have been sworn to secrecy.  They have been told to meet at a pick-up spot in Nashville where they will be shuttled by bus to a secret location.  Jim may or may not be the bus driver.

The shuttle has no windows.

I'm guessing grndctrl screwed up the contest somehow.

The system malfunctioned or something.

Likewise, the windows have no shuttles. Roll on, roll on, oh little train...whatever will be, will be between the contest winners, the show and jim james.

Finding out the results certainly feels like the slowest train that I have ever seen.

If he was up for it, I would gladly host Jim James to play a show in my living room in Nashville. It has room for about 15 - 20 and the walls are decorated with plenty of MMJ posters...ah, the anxiety of finding out if I'll be able to attend the show on Friday is certainly driving me crazy, if this post isn't enough evidence of that already.

I think you have to have a system in place for it to malfunction..

Good luck, forum members! I hope it's at Third Man Records, too..

I'm going to go ahead and predict the remainder of this thread:

Wade chimes and in "sorry guys, the contest winners have been notified. That's followed up with a lot of "damn it!" "I never win anything!" "Fuck this, something fishy is going on" "Oh well" "That's why I never planned on going" and "I hope whoever won has fun and reports back." Then tomorrow there will be a couple "FUCK YOU G(C)!" which will turn into an all out attack about that show in 2008 in which the Roll Call early entry line didn't work even though RC didn't exist yet. Next, Wade will chime in again and defend GC and himself, I'll feel embarrassed for some people since we all know Wade himself doesn't run this contest and certainly didn't screw anyone over himself. Finally, this thread will disappear and will only be brought up again in the future with comments like "Say what you will about [new fan club operator here] but they aren't that bad. At least they weren't the ones that caused that Jim James solo show fiasco" and otherwise this will all be a distant memory/mystery.


Now that we got all of that out of the way...

Wade didn't even know about the contest
