MMJ free show at National Mall in D.C. April 18

[pflannel]

Congrats Jim, I'll be at the meet and greet too!

So excited to learn the details - I'll be flying in from OAK, CA for the experience.  I'm certain it will be worth the trip.

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!

The Meet and Greet was promoted thru twitter.  That's the only place I heard about it.  I entered but didn't win. 

If anyone needs a +1, I will be super excited and grateful to join you..... good chance I will cry tears of joy at chipotle or wherever I am upon getting that news.

Congrats to you too! I'm very curious as to what the details are as well. I just love that MMJ is the last name on the lineup and they're the ones treating their fans.

Has anyone heard any rumors regarding set times?

Also, someone asked about places to get drinks in the area.  Nothing in the immediate area but there's a small bar called "Off the Record" just north of the white house.

From the FAQ:

"What are the set times or order the Artists are playing?

We will not be releasing set times, or the order of Artists. With the amazing lineup, get there early to enjoy the whole show!"

how dumb

That is not good but thanks for the intel.  I'm going to assume that MMJ is early based on the list on the website.  It's going to be extra crowded due to people coming out to see the cherry blossoms as well.

great news CC.

Is it really the case that they aren't releasing settimes or even the order of the bands?  That's ridiculous.   I would definitely want to catch MMJ.

I watched this a few years ago I think because mmj was on the lineup then too. It was torture to sit through. I would only watch this again if I knew when they are going to be on.

Curious to see how heavy they go on Waterfall songs since this is their only gig before the release date.

I'll be there on Saturday with my family, so I (we) would particularly appreciate knowing when MMJ will go on to avoid the torture that Fully mentioned.

All I can say is the set will be short (25 min.) and they are early in the lineup.  The lack of set times is intentional, perhaps to increase the number of people who come for the whole thing or watch the entire webcast.  Personally, I think it will decrease the number who go or watch, due to the otherwise lame lineup and short set times.  Also, it starts at 11am EST, which is 10am where I am and tomorrow is Record Store Day, so I might miss the first hour or so of the webcast...

This might help a little

I hope they open with Spring or at least play it.  It's almost spring and the weather is supposed to be perfect.  It should fit the day.  Due to the webcast, I don't think there is a chance they'll debut any other songs.

12:00-3:00.... good, noncommittal intel.

Hate to showcase my technological shortcomings but can you record a live stream event?  If so, how?

Didn't realize there would be so many speeches and pre-recorded videos.
