It was probably jahmazed, Ms. Yvon.  He's always with monkeyboy.

Pre-show at Nosh or Taco Escobarr?  pjfan04101 likely to be at Nosh.  I don't care.  How about Nosh for pre-show, TE for post-show nightcap?  Sounds good to me.  Hope to see you there!

Thy Holy Hand-Grenade looks interesting...

See you all on Thursday!  Fresh cookies and Heady Toppers from Vermont to get things going.  Looking forward to an intimate show with real fans. 

CTdeadhead, where are you in Maine?  Lets hookup for some festies up north!

Ms. Yvon, that was Jahmazed and I at T5.  We also saw you in Newport last year for New Multitudes and many other locations (including Radio City).   

I am really, really bummed about missing Solid Sound, it is the best festival in the lower 48.  I wish I could afford a mexico trip...

so.....nosh?

gonna be in town early to do some job hunting (i'm thinking about relocating to portland)

give me a buzz if anything changes, john

[GO4IT]

Have fun tomorrow night!
Wish I was there.

[johnnYYac]

Tickets available. Venue holds 550. Flights are pricey, though. I'm expecting the standard show but willing to be wrong.

What a great show, great peeps, a great time! Here's Ms y getting psyched about upcoming Portland shows:

I was waiting for some news, a review, something from you guys. 

[Monkeyboy]

Really good show, better than expected.  The start was too quiet but ramped up quickly, you could hear a pin drop.  Played all songs from the album plus MOF, faces melted so hard.  Very trippy jamming throughout with a killer drum solo.  Lots of band energy, familiar Forum faces, and a packed house (good call moving it).  Great beers with an ultra-easy access bar, thanks Oxbow!  Free parking in front with a quick hot-box and pregame noshings at Nosh.  All in all a very good night, Jim can handle any size room for sure!

[nuggets]

well that was fun. standard setlist, but the performance was far from standard. jim seemed to be in rare form. all freaky eyed and smiling. so much fun watching him really connect with the crowd in a small place like that.

great to see john again and so much fun to meet crispy and ms. yvon. meet a few others,  but my elderly brain can't remember their board names.  regardless, awesome time with some awesome people and really enjoyed meeting and hanging with all of you.

took some crappy shots

I'm sure it's typical but anyone got a setlist on this?

Jim and AmericanaramA setlist threads are updated.  Sorry, I was out of town at Solid Sound, then home with a killer cold...

Same exact setlist for Portland, ME and Northampton, MA.

What, no love for Aaron Carter?   

I don't know why, but Aaron Carter now follows me on twitter. It amuses me.
