I was actually at the Dead show they feature on this link!

It's always been a favorite of mine too. I'll never forget seeing Genesis do Suppers Ready there in 82. It was a treat in more ways than one!

Hard to fit this in today but when the cukes come you must get it done.

Here are the cukes harvested from my garden the last couple of days plus some hot peppers and other ingredients.



And here's the finished product as of a few minutes ago - AmericanramA edition for the "Pickles Nouveau" pre-party opening on July 23.

Very impressed with your pickling skills, Rob! They look like they would win a prize at the fair.

That must have been an amazing show, Eric, a year before I moved down to the Baltimore area so I didn't see it.

I really like Genesis and have picked up a bunch of their vinyl lately to round out my collection.

But saw MMJ there now 3 times, REM, Winwood, The Dead, Allman Bros, Decemberists, CSN&Y, my daughter's graduation from HS, and about 20 shows I'm too brain dead to remember right now.

ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO!!!!

As promised, pre-party festivities will be starting at the GO4IT abode noonish.  2013 AmericanaramA pickles nouveau will be unveiled along with vintage 2012s and a variety of food, drink and music.

More good news from the garden - my tomatoes are staring to ripen so we may be looking at killer BLTs along with everything else.

PM/e-mail/text me if you are coming to the pre-party and need directions.

Can't wait for this show, going to Nags head for a few days starting tomorrow then I get 3 dates within a week.  I am really hoping Bob actually does a collaboration for this one as I am only giving him one shot to make me stay through the entire show the next two times.  I am expecting the crowd to be pretty solid as MMJ always rocks this place when they headline themselves so I think the crowd should be pretty into the show overall.

anyone sitting on an extra or 2?

Yes, a friend of mine has and extra Pit ticket for face.  Just PM me.

A very good week indeed!

First Merriweather, then on to Newport, Jim and so much more!!!

Only 1 day to showtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The day is near.  I had a terrible dream the other night:   I lost track of time/forgot MMJ started so early and I missed the show.  It took a few seconds after I woke to realize it was a just a dream.  Once my anger changed to relief as I realized it was not yet Tuesday, I was able to go back to sleep.  Weird stuff. 

See you for lunch around 2:30.

My nightmare is that they don't play TWTHS.  It seems like they play it every 2 or 3 shows on this tour so we are due since they haven't played it since Fri.

For a cover, I'd love to hear Isn't it a Pity.

Of course, I'll be happy with anything they play - they've had some great sets, albeit short for them, on this tour.

[manonthemoon]

Really hoping we get a Strangulation, knot comes loose, or my personal favorite the Bear, but have a feeling we'll definately get O and a OBH to cap this show off.

Maybe you'll get OBH to open like in 2010!

I wish, that is my all time favorite opener nothing gets the crowd going than starting off with that one.  You should just take the train down, I am sure you want to get another date or two in prior to Sunday.

That was how they started my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th shows, all within 4 days in April '10. As cool as that Steam Engine opener must've been, an OBH opener is like screaming out of the blocks!

The day has come Bitchez!

See you guys soon at Chez GO4IT. 

As far as tonight, I'd love to see a debut for this tour, like Strangulation or Rollin' Back.  I don't think either of those have been played yet. 

But whatever they have in store for us, I'm sure it will be great as these sets have seemed pretty consistently awesome.

They did play Carried Away at Merriweather before in '10, that would be great to hear again.  I'd also be very psyched for I Think I'm Going to Hell, War Begun, Dancefloors, and many more.

Excited for all you MPPers! Have fun and can't wait to see the setlist!

[headhunter]

Have fun gang!!@!  This is the first MPP show I am missing in years.
