Okonokos Listening Parties

[dragonboy]

Did you all get your emails today? Who's hoping to throw one?
Very cool to see the lettering for MMJ & Okonokos.
What is that on the first O? A bushbaby? An aye-aye?!!

[BH]

What are talking about db? I gots no e-mail.

[dragonboy]

Have you joined the buddy system?
The same thing happened for Z, we all got emails asking if we'd like to host a listening party. Those who want to can apply & management then decides which locations are best etc.
The host gets a promo CD to play at their party + some posters, flyers etc  :)

[BH]

I do get the e-mails.  Maybe it just hasn't arrived yet.

[tomEisenbraun]

I expect an invitation for your party DB! Don't forget to add the plane tickets. Oh, make 'em business class please   ;)

[dragonboy]

For you, my good man, I'm going first class! Seriously Bro, I would if I could...
Actually I didn't apply this time. I got turned down last time but that's fair enough, I understand that a listening party in the US is going to attract more people than anything I could organise here.
Still, I could 'do a Tom' & apply anyway, just to get the free shit  ;D

i got the email too... even if i don't get one, it was still a warm fuzzy feeling to see my morning jacket in my inbox!  :)

[Dorothy_Mantooth]

freaking lemur made me piss myself

[tomEisenbraun]

so when do we find out? i wants me some free shit.

[goldengirl]

It would flippin great to get that free stuff. But I don't hold high hopes since they are only giving away 50 free things. I never win anything. But it would be sweet ass if I did.
 :D

Got the email moments ago

"Dear MMJ Buddies,

Thanks so much to everyone for your enthusiastic responses to the "Okonokos" listening party blast. We wish we could accommodate everyone, but as we're sure you can imagine, it's just not possible. Over the course of the next week, we'll be sorting through the submissions, and alert those who will be hosting parties.

Thanks everyone who responded!

Brandon Dufour
ATO Records"

Odds that i got one of the parties: damn near zero

Aww c'mon don't write yourself off so quickly...

[SethYork]

Is it the case that they choose the first 50, because that is how it sounded from the emai.
"Here's how it works: You respond to this email with your name, address, and phone number. We'll select the first 50 buddies around the world to host a party."

Or do they choose the ones with the great ideas?
"Of course, if you have any additional ideas about how these "hangs" could be that much better, feel free to share them with us."

If it is a first 50 thing, I happened to be at my computer when I got the email and shot it right back but sadly, in my rushing, I didnt add some sweet idea like having the party in the capital rotunda (I live in Frankfort, KY) with glowsticks to light the way to the entrance and that creepy scene from Willy Wonka while they are in the tunnel playing on a screen up above. Talk about some good reverb for the band? Play that stuff in a Marble building.
