Chicago/Vic tickets should be mailed out today.

We have heard that Roll Call early entry is happening for two shows- Boston and one other (I emailed ground(ctrl) about Boston; can't remember the other one).  I would bring your RC laminate or membership card, just in case... assuming you want early entry.

I hope GC is paying you consultant fees, JYac!

I have one friend that does not belong to roll call yet, does anyone think he could get in if I gave him my MMJ card for roll call from the year before?  Probably not but I would feel bad if we all got in from my group except for one.  I'll bring my laminate just in case. 
I'm looking forward to hanging at Matilda's with roll call peeps.  The people I met in Nashville and Forecastle were all so super friendly and cool.

We should figure out what time to meet maybe after we know if we are getting in early?

You shouldn't talk to Trish that way... Oh, you mean me?  Hmm.

What it reminds me of is my daughter and her autism. I over compensate for things that she should be doing herself, but they aren't easy for her to do. The more I do for her, the less she does for herself. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that I'm just making it easier for her to not learn to be responsible. One day I'm not going to be there for her and she had better learn how to take care of herself. Ground Control functions like that too. It's easier and nice of you to help others out with their questions, but it's their responsibility to do these things and to keep us informed. When they have you doing it, they can just sit back and not do what they should be doing. There should be official announcements about early entry. Everyone won't know to bring their cards. It's hard to sit back and let someone do something wrong, but sometimes it's the only way they'll learn. I know that your heart is in the right place on this, John, but I have to agree with Penny about this. GC just needs to do their job correctly if we are important to them  - which to be honest once they get their money, we probably aren't just judging by past experiences.

I don't know how to answer this.  If folks would rather I let ground(ctrl) NOT tell you stuff, I'll stand mute.  I don't think anything I do or say is going to change their ways, as it hasn't yet (much as I and others have tried). 



And, to be clear, I don't work for or have any connection to ground(ctrl).  I emailed their support folks to see if early entry was an option for Boston BECAUSE I know they don't communicate well.  Once I heard Boston and Louisville were both doing early entry, I figured others might like that information.  If ground(ctrl) thinks they can avoid doing their jobs because of folks like me and slappymoe fizzlebottom sharing our inquiries with customer service, then that is quite foolish.

Understand I'm not against you doing this. I just think it's enabling them to be incompetent. I appreciate what you do. You've been helpful to me many times.

[pattilovesmmj]

I always try to see both sides.  And for me, getting information from John or someone else, just makes me feel that there are awesome people on this site looking out for one another.  I appreciate any and all information, but it does seem like I get more from roll call peeps then what comes from ground control.
That being said, Fully - you are pretty much right.  They need to learn, but I wish it was not at the expense of others - namely us people who would appreiciate updated info daily on the shows etc............

[CHIMMJFAN]

I can definitely agree that I get much more info from fellow Roll Call Peeps than those who are "in charge". I appreciate all the info and to be honest my expectations for Ground Control are pretty low.

Can't believe it!

That's awesome, CONGRATS! I was not so lucky.  Live from Studio X shows are very cool and intimate, usually a couple songs and interview. Where is the pre-show? I guess this would be a no-go for Matilda's now pre-show?
