MMJ GO UNDER THE SEA FOR A 2 NIGHT PROM IN ATHENS!

[sweatboard]

You guys need to relax.  I removed that post so it wouldn't look like we were attacking the band (or serious for that matter).  One of the members of TC posted something to our blog (in jest).  I posted on here (again, in jest).  How would we know pitchfork would run with it?  Once pitchfork covered it, I decided to pull the one from here so it wouldn't look like we were trying to attack from all sides and it wouldn't get blown out of proportion. 

And for the record, we didn't ask for them to cancel their shows.  We challenged them to play ours as well.

It's a non-issue.  They would never, actually, do it.  The goofy shows are sold out already.  We were just having a little fun with them.

The End.

The pitchfork article made you all look like complete assholes.  I thought it was all in jest until I read that article.  Subject dropped.

HOLY COW!!

my work schedule has been so dense that i missed this announcement!

AND i was all set to post that i would have to miss these shows b/c of work. (dumb old job).

but NOW...i am scheming frantically to attend at least one of them.  i know i can miss one day...somehow...

holy cats.

fucking awesome.

and for good measure:  YOW!!

[ms. yvon]

plane ticket purchased.
room booked.
car booked.

now, what to tell my boss?   ;)

winds of change:  i am taking a new job in mid-march.  just gave notice yesterday.  if--IF--they can hire a replacement before next week i can go to at least one of these shows.

any good "replacement editor hiring vibes" will be greatly appreciated!  mwah!  [smiley=beer.gif]

also, whether or not this trip is a go i'm going to be spending my weekend fashioning a theme tiara.  (note to self:  do NOT use the glue gun while drinking beer!)

Well, my outfit will be wigaliciously ridiculicious jacketicious.

Now, I just need a ticket.

What will Georgia do with all the dressed up Jacket fans who can't get into the show?

those pix just made me all tingly!
WOOOOOOO!!

going to have to revue the "what to do in athens" thread this weekend.   :)


wings & beer?  hell.  yes.

So is everyone getting nervous?

Do you all have your dates lined up?  

Don't forget, the ridges on the cumberbun face downward so they don't catch crumbs!

Guys, DO NOT forget the corsages and boutonnieres.

Make sure that you get a limo with privacy glass for afterwards.  Losing your virginity on prom night has been a right of passage for generations.

Don't drink and drive!  Get a hotel room and jam 17 people in it.  And don't forget to bring a scrunchee so you don't have to hold your dates hair back when she's puking in the toilet at 2 AM.

[Kory]

Shit, I forgot the limo!

[Kory]

I'm wearing a plaid fake tux jacket from a 50's costume. Feel free to say hello!

[Anu]

Working on the the costume options; the ticket I had to beg (and pay $$$ for) should arrive in the mail today.

[ms. yvon]

that scrunchie is a good idea!  i never knew which way the folds on a cummerbund faced.  huh.

i think night one is going to be the tuxedo t-shirt!

woo!

[jsw513]

after these two shows, and 4 last week.  I can't afford to go get a "costume".  Is that lame?  I think i'll just show up in my bathrobe, per the other thread.

[ms. yvon]

and shower cap...

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

a bathrobe is a MORNING JACKET....and a shower cap is a nice MORNING HAT.  

[Anu]

Just a modest proposal: Post your reviews in this thread instead of starting a million different review threads.

[EC]

omg it all begins tonight.
you LUCKY people!!!
electric!

[mississippi_goddam]

Wish I could be there.  Just got the April issue of Esquire in the mail and the #1 live band is none other than...........My Morning Jacket.  Like there was any competition.

I live here in Athens so I made a lap around the 40Watt on my lunch break.  No sightings except the pimp looking navy tourbus.  Got the chills just surveying the calm before the storm though.  My buddy works in an office across the street and just reported Jim walking around out back with a beer.  No big news obviously, but it is just so exhilerating to know they are 10 miles away and getting ready to throw down!  

I can honestly say I am more psyched for this show than any other I've attended in my 25 years on this earth.  I mean, my favorite band, in my home town, in a 500-person venue...two nights in a flippin' row!

;D ;D ;D

[BH]

Uhhh, I am still waiting on the annoucement that a local radio station is going to broadcast the show online.  You better hurry up people, you are running out of time.
