QuoteI've heard 2 really cool rumors (well, one is confirmed, one is still, as I understand it, still a rumor), but I cant spill them because another board member asked me not to. So if you wanna know what it is, start leaning on GivenToFly. Sorry to give you up buddy, Im just bored as hell, counting the seconds until Saturday :P

Come on GivenToFly,share the joy man.At least give us the confirmed news.This is a time of fellowship and celebration so let's have it.Wouldn't it feel good to put a smile on all our faces?  :)

It benefits me personally to not give the confirmed rumor away, so I will keep my mouth shut.  ;D

Maybe this is better left a surprise.Now I'm more stoked than ever. :D
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

Thanks for the cell phone snaps, that is helping me get a vision in my head for what is about to happen to all of us.

I guess it doesn't matter what the place looks like, I usually can't even open my eyes when MMJ are playing.  I'm not kidding, it takes all my courage to even stand up and look at the stage; the power that exists at a MMJ event is so amazing that I sometimes just sit down for minutes at a time and try to gather my physical self enough to stand on my feet.

Or sometimes I just stand there and wobble around with weak knees and hope nobody notices how crazy I am.

no problem guys/gals, it will be on the water side and it is pretty big... I think i've heard 20,000 people could easily gather there.
Like Backseat Sandbar said, i would guess the stage would back the water but I've been to a few shows down there and the stage could be facing west (right on the photos)
It's the bigger of the two grassy areas. the area to the left is called 'harbor lawn' not 'the great lawn'
out waterfront wednesday concerts by wfpk happen on the harbor lawn.

I exchanged a few emails with one of the park directors and she said that it holds up to 20,000 but they were only selling 8,000 tickets for the show. Should be plenty of room.

Are they still planning on arriving aboard the Belle of Louisville?
Or do you think they will get stuck with the Star like Jim said?

I was getting ready to ask that too, but someone beat me to it.  Anyway...I'm glad it's confirmed.  My question:  Will they jam out on the Belle or will they get off and face hump us from a stage?

Quotewhen did Jim say something about the Star?

There was an article in the C-J a few months ago that announced the show, and there was a quote from Jim saying something about a grand entrance on the Belle or the Star- but he preffered the Belle because the Star sucks...or something to that effect.  I've got it at home but I'm not sure the date exactly.

Yeah the CJ is where I read it.  He said that he hoped the band could pull up on the Belle. But he said if they can't work that out they just might have to settle with showing up on the Star.  Then one of the other member's of the band was quoted as saying, 'Jim comes up with all these crazy ideas in his head so that will probably happen."  Can't wait to see if it does.  Sorry to spoil your suprise GivenToFly.  No hard feelings, it was widespread.

Here is the actual article from the CJ.

My Morning Jacket, Louisville's most internationally adored band in recent memory, will today announce its first local performance in nearly two years.

"An Evening With My Morning Jacket," a co-production of Production Simple and the Louisville Bats, will be Aug. 16 on the Great Lawn at Waterfront Park.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday at the Louisville Slugger Field box office, TicketMaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com and by phone, (502) 361-3100. They'll be $33.50, which includes a $1 donation to a charity to be determined.

MMJ singer Jim James said that the band wants to do something special. Its last show, on Thanksgiving Eve 2006, featured a brigade of 21 Santa Clauses and the Squallis Puppeteers.

"I want to do something with the Belle of Louisville," James said from New York City, where he's living part-time. "I'm trying to figure out some grandiose stunt where we roll up on the Belle.

"It's kind of weird to say anything, though, because it's too soon. I don't want to promise the Belle of Louisville and only deliver the Star of Louisville."
"We all know that whatever Jim dreams up, Jim can make happen," said Production Simple's Billy Hardison. "We probably won't know for sure until a week before the show."

The concert will be a three-hour romp through the band's entire catalog, with special attention paid to its upcoming album, "Evil Urges." The record, one of the band's finest, comes out June 10, and the "Evil Urges Tour" will stop at all of the major summer festivals, including Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tenn., and Coachella in Indio, Calif.

"We haven't played Louisville in so long that we wanted to do a long show, really give people a lot of bang for their bucks," James said.

The all-ages show will be presented by WFPK (91.9-FM).
