Dallas is ready

[chach]

Agreed.  I walk in at 9:30 thinking Will Johnson is about to take the stage and it's MMJ.  the place was packed and hard to get a good spot for viewing.  Hope everyone enjoyed though.

Those Gypsy murals are very cool - I need to get a good pic of that one. See y'all there

check out http://www.franksart.net/ and scroll to the gypsy link.  If it's not up soon, maybe Frank'll send ya a pic.  He's had previous MMJ paintings posted there, also.


Last night made show #9 for me.  One thing about Dallas crowds... they won't shut the hell up during a show.  Seattle had a larger crowd, but they actually stopped talking when the band was on up there.  Down here, there seems to be too many people going to be seen, not to see.  I know the day's of the intimate show/setting are over, which makes sense since MMJ's  a little more rockin' these days, but people need to respect the band and the fans.  Perhaps "the way that he sings" was skipped over because JJ knew that nobody would be able to hear him sing it.  

Well, that's my rant, and I feel better.  

Thanks again Patrick!  See ya as ya roll up next time.

lordy, 10-4 on the people not shutting the hell up in dallas! we were standing in the second row and behind us were four ditzy ADD-afflicted brats with their dude friends who wouldn't stop sounding like they were puked out of an episode of Laguna Beach (aw mah gawd you gahys, like, like, like, ugh, ya knawh?)... and then this one a-hole answered his cell phone during david dondero's set which is extra lame because it was just an acoustic guitar and some drums so WTF?! i mean, hey, i'm glad MMJ is getting lots of people to come out to the show and i don't want to be elitist or keep the jacket all to myself, but it seemed like the poseur quotient was blazing last night. idunno...
i was at a shins show a while back in montreal and there were all these girls who saw garden state and so knew exactly two songs and kept screaming like banshees... am i just bitter and old?

So Son Volt shirts are o.k. though, right? My buddy & I weren't doing any talkin' last night, we were too busy freakin' smooth out. A seven hour bus ride to Dallas, lots of booze, a one hour flight home & nine hours of work & I'm still so giddy I can't get to sleep.
