Waterfront Park:
Can't wait to watch the vid! One of my best friends had been having a really hard time with life in general around that time. His parents who'd been married for 25 years were getting divorced and life in general just sucked for him. So, I told him I had a suprise and that we were going somewhere and I wouldn't tell him what we were doing. I only gave him a few clues, but I knew there was NO way he'd figure it out. He wasn't really a "fan" per se as he didn't know much about them. He knew it was a "musical event" we were going to be staying overnight and we were headed south/southeast. The morning of before he arrived at my place I sent him a text and said "its kind of chilly this morning I might need a jacket." nothing....
So we were about 30 mins south of Indianapolis and I told him what we were doing. He was mildly excited...  :-/
So we checked into our hotel and went to Bearno's (the one downtown) and had a couple beers. Then we rolled down to the show and had a great time. We went back to Bearno's after the show and sat with a real nice couple from Alabama (?) for a short while. The next day we walked up and down Bardstown Road...went to Ear-x-tacy, etc.
When we got home I mailed him a care package of the entire MMJ studio album collection complete with my recommendation for the order in which to listen to them and brief reviews of each one, pictures, and a shirt that said "gettin' lucky in Kentucky." He really wanted to get one while we were there, but we never did so I ordered him one. That's my story of that great experience. I can't wait to watch the vid and share that with him too.
Oh, and now he's a huge fan..... ;) I already told him we're doing L-ville again this summer if it happens!  :)

Ahh I am sooo excited. This is too good.  :D

p.s.- *the word "god*" is used here meaning anything you want it to mean and is a trademark of globo-chem worldwide.

lol... any pit pat on the ep?

really, though: super excited about this.

haha.... we can only hope for a guest spot by everyone's favorite magical, pansexual, non-threatening spokesthing.  maybe a "take it from me, i love you!" during the off the record outro or something.

can't wait to see which songs from the waterfront park show make the cut.

[Leontheslut]

I thoroughly enjoyed the behind the scenes video they posted.

I enjoyed the part where the little girls were playing that slap hand thing they play, and you could hear the voice from the chorus of Highly Suspicious. They all looked baffled by what they were hearing  ;D

[kydiddle]

Is that Nicole Atkins on the cover?

This made my week.

LET'S SPECULATE

You're not funny!!!  :P

I love that picture, though. They need to sell that as a t-shirt!!!!

[MMJCOBRA]

seriously, i would wear that t-shirt frequently.  when i first saw it, I though "it's the cabbage patch queen!" and then I realized they were roses, not cabbages.  maybe that's just me who even thought cabbages.  anyway, the image has a wondrous and enchanting absurdity to it.   if i didn't know what wondrous, enchanting and occasionally gloriously absurd music lay inside, i would be curious to find out.

That video was incredible.  I was reliving the whole show at Waterfront.  Too bad there weren't videos from Ear Xtacy also.  You all should see how packed that place was.  To the Gills!

[Bigsky]

Yes Yes Yes Yes...SO SWEET...give it to me...sorry I'm a little excited! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

I know! That was hilarious!

unravelled: No, we were sitting indoors at the Bearno's downtown. There were a couple bands that played. We shared a booth with this 1 other couple. They were really nice, but we didn't stay and talk too long. We had a couple beers and went back to the hotel. I feel like maybe they said they were going to NYE, but I'm not certain. I think the guy had dark brown curly hair. I dont know why I remember that but I do. I do remember they were incredibly kind.  :)

Also, I was the chick in the overalls on the right of the soundboard (if you're facing the stage) that was putting glow bracelets and glow necklaces on everyone around me...just incase any of you are here. Everyone around me was super nice and fun! People of all ages....Good times. ;)
