I would go to that for Mmj and no doubt

[JerseyDan]

road trip!

I'll be there.

Definitely going but my god those other bands are terrible.

[JerseyDan]

So i worked this gig in 2010 and be prepared for a couple things:

1) MMJ will play for no more than 30 minutes

2) Zero chance of an encore

3) 50-60K+ people will be there, don't expect to get anywhere near the rail

4) The show is really well produced so set times will be SHARP

agreed - this will be similar to CBGB event - not worth the logistics.

I'll be there.

I think there will be over 60,000 but probably not on the early side when MMJ goes on.  And I doubt a big percent of those there will be trying to get close for MMJ.  That said, for me, it's not just about the show.  It's also Earth Day.   

And since I'm a 30 minute train ride away with this rare chance to take my kids to a non-restlessness inducing short show not during their bed time is something not to miss.  Plus the added bonus of other Earth Day festivities can't be bad (with the exception being the other bad bands on the bill).

I'll be there.

Us too.
This is kind of nice as its less than 10 minutes away, already have parking since I work right there.  Plus can get out of there early before the crowd swells and the traffic become terrible.  Win, win.

April 18 is Record Store Day, too.

I'm tentatively planning on going. My wife loves ND and Usher so this is perfect. Hopefully MMJ get at least 45 minutes. A half hour seems like pure tease. Whatever, she'll be happy and what's more, it's free.

[Painter]

Do you think you'll be able to see the stage? I wen't to concert for the troops and it was a shit show. ended up watching on a screen in the mall a mile away from the stage and left after 30 minutes.

[JerseyDan]

Being that it reads like they are on 1st, mobility seems possible. I'll take 1-2 less songs with them being 1st on stage versus the hordes of popsters coming for later acts.

[Vitz]

Bump this thread up, as the show is 10 days away.  Any confirmation of set times would be welcome of course.

[GO4IT]

I plan to be there and could use some intel as well.  Sounds like MMJ is going to be on the early side of the music lineup.

[Sassbox]

Good grief...thought it was this coming Saturday!

[JerseyDan]

i'm def coming down with the gf...where does one get a good  near by?

[Jimsfurryboots]

They might only play a 30 minute set and the rest of the lineup is...well yeah, BUT I won a meet and greet with MMJ!!! Is it pathetic that I nearly cried tears of joy at a chipotle when I found out?

A meet and greet at the DC show?!?  How come I didn't hear about this?
I have my 16 month old granddaughter primed for the show.  She wants to meet Jim!
