5 weeks until Pabst show in Milwaukee!!! 4/19/13

[pattilovesmmj]

5 weeks from today is the Jim solo show in Milwaukee!  I can't wait - especially after seeing him in Nashville.  And the video for State of the Art from sleep no more is absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.  Jim's Flying V is there for a reason..............
Who is going?

[pattilovesmmj]

Anyone going?

[flugger]

I'm in !!! Can't wait!!!

[CHIMMJFAN]

I'm in!!!! I have to work until 5pm and I'm hoping the traffic from Chicago to Milwaukee isn't too bad Friday Night (it will be by Ohare I know! lol)

I'm a little concerned though.. a friend of mine got their tickets in the Public sale..and has her physical tickets. I got mine in the Roll Call Pre-Sale ..and mine are Will-Call...and I haven't seen any information for the Will-Call for this show...or maybe I did and I forgot.

[markcel]

I got will call through Roll Call as well.  Hoping it is a relatively smooth process.  Saw Jim will be at the Exclusive Company on Thursday for some signing, if I was in the area I'd go.

typical.

I always go under the dashboard and print out the confirmation---because in the emails you get sent (IF THEY ACTUALLY GET SENT BY GC) don't contain the exact show info, just a number.

I think there is construction going on, but usually it's a pretty good ride up there.  Anyone up for going to Mo's Irish pub prior to the show?  Or does anyone have any ideas?

[watchtower41]

Looking forward to this show 10x more than the Vic, just based on the venue alone! Pabst + JJ is gonna be heavenly!   

Quick FYI for all you peeps, wish I could attend, but the Excluisve Company Record Store in Milwaukee is holding a meet anf greet with Jim on Thursday night at 6pm



The Exclusive Company is kicking off its Record Store Day celebration a little early this year with a special in-store appearance...

The Exclusive Company is excited to announce an in-store appearance/signing with JIM JAMES, of My Morning Jacket, on April 18 at 6 pm!

Touring in support of his solo album, "Regions of Light and Sound of God," Jim James will be performing at The Pabst Theater on April 19th.

I've seen other shows at the Pabst (Gaelic Storm) and they've always been great shows.  You are probably right, and I have never been to the Vic yet.
When I saw MMJ back in june 2011, which I think was at the Riverside, Jim was very thankful for the folks in Milwaukee and said they treat the band well.!!!

Still no thought on pre show drinkies?

[watchtower41]

Riverside is an awesome venue too. I'm not sure what to expect on Friday crowd-wise, it's not sold-out yet (looks like far from it) and when MMJ played in Milwaukee last summer at the new summerfest grounds pavilion, the place was more than half empty.

Not sure that I will be up in time from Chicago for any extensive pre-show drinks, but Mo's is always a good pre and post option.

If I don't win entry to the XRT-Live from Studio X performance, I will definitely be down for some pre-show drinks at Matilda's in Chicago though.

[bcdoc]

I am in, and I am looking forward to it after what will be a long week. Plus, I love that the Pabst sells big beers at an affordable cost. Apparently the Milwaukee Ale House is providing some sort of beer from a bourbon-aged keg to add a little extra sh*ts and giggles to what will be a great night.

Thanks for the heads up on the construction. I will check the boards and see what everyone is doing pre-show. Hopefully I can get up there in time to meet up, I'm just hoping I can make the show on time, lol.

When I saw MMJ at the Riverside 2 summers ago, it was packed and that's where Jim thanked the people of Milwaukee and their hospitality. 
the Pabst is super cool and more people should take advantage of the show there.  I myself have never been to the Vic so that will be new for me.
Hoping to get there around 6:00ish for pre show drinks

I received an email from the Pabst today with day of show info:

http://pabsttheater-emails.s3.amazonaws.com/indie/jimjames2013/dayofshow.html

It also refers to the pre-show keg tapping at 7:30 of the bourbon barrel aged amber that bcdoc mentioned.

Thanks for the info, Sue.  This was interesting...

"Per Jim James's management:

No professional cameras or recording devices please."

[pattilovesmmj]

So...it looks like the place to go should be the Milwaukee brewery? with a pre show keg tapping?  Right up Milwaukee's alley so to speak.  The poster looks super cool.  But I also hear rumors about early entry.   So who ever has the latest, let me know.  I did not get a email from the Pabst, which is odd since I usually do. 
Just super happy the shows are finally here!

I've been told its venue-specific and not necessarily going to happen at every show.
