the last show i saw was the one in the gardens and it was my first true jacket experience.  i have been waiting for another show since then.  after hearing they weren't playing their annual thanksgiving show my heart was broken but i knew they would repay us.  so i am waiting and the day has come but of course this is the day i move in for fall semester in Dayton.   :'( :'(

No, August 17th is the day you move in.  

Seriously, all they do on the first day is give out the sylabus (sp? maybe I should have gone to class more) and tell you to read chapter one.  You can do without that right?   Get up early on the 17th, throw down 5 or 6 aspirin, a little hair of the dog and hit the road.  Come on man.   Don't make me come down there.

Ha if only it was that easy.   thinking about trying to move in early, might cost me an extra 50 bucks or so not to mention the 50 bucks in gas itll take me to get there and back.  everything is worth it though, trying to pull something out of my ass :-/

Think I can get them to move it to Friday? ;)

Offer them $75 bucks, that way you can save $25.  Those guys are really nice, you never know.

Just checked my email. Nice!!!! I'll make the drive from DC, havent been to Louisville in years, now i have a reason to go back.

[pawpaw]

This is really cool. The fact that they'd schedule this show for their hometown fans is one more reason that they're such a great band. Should be quite a show!

and it sounds like they are pulling out all the stops..3 hrs, rolling up on the Bell of Louisville!

there is no telling what will go down at this show....if you can make it to Louisville i'd suggest doing so.  this will be epic!!!

Unfortunately, I don't think this one will be possible...and what's this Bell of Louisville? Intriguing...they should ring it, and then launch into Hells Bells, that would be pretty awesome. But the fact that they could come "rolling up on" it, leads me to believe it's not that kind of bell...

I've never been to Louisville, but I always thought it would be a place I could live in pretty happily. A slower paced, mid-sized city, a unique civic identity, friendly people, good whiskey...what more could you want?

I'm speechless...

Is that a good speechless Kory?

Oh, this is a great thing, two years in the waiting for them (as a whole) to come back home!

[pawpaw]

;D Not quite what I'd pictured - this is much cooler. They should still try to incorporate it into a cover of Hells Bells.

Couldn't ask for a better venue in Louisville.

If only it could be 15 days earlier, it'd be the perfect birthday present :/

I'm assuming this will only be MMJ, since there's no information about an opening band, however, it's hard to believe they'd not invite Scott Carney and Co. to open.

[TEO]

We should be able to make it!!!  :) :) :)

10 days later for me.

The email said "An Evening with" and if they're playing three hours I would say they probably won't have an opener. I love wax fang as much as anyone but  I've seen a lot of the fang recently, bring on the jacket!!!

[Crispy]

They got all mad at me for comin up close for MMJ when NO ONE was up close.  I was like "I drove 10 hours for 1 hour of music...as soon as they're done, i'll move"...and they were like "IM OLD! BLAH!!!!"

Seeing the oldsters (I'm old, but these people made me look like a college student) scrambling for the rail when MMJ finished was a sight to behold. "Back off, sonny! Or I'll give ye a pop-knot with my shillelagh!"
And Steam Engine was truly epic that day...as if there's a rule in the MMJ setlist book: When it rains, we play Steam Engine.

YES!!!

I actually have the week off from the 9th to the 17th...one day earlier & would fly out for this show. I swear there are greater forces working against me to make sure I don't get to see the Jacket live again  :'(

For any out-of-towners thinking of coming to this I would highly recommend it. Downtown Louisville is very safe and there are hotels within walking distance of the Great Lawn and Waterfront Park.

Here are some things I would personally recommend to anyone visiting. (I am sure others can add more good things to this)

[megalicious]

yay. i am really looking forward to this, especially if a riverboat entrance is involved.

Oh I'm working something here. It's totally getting ignored, but I'm working on it. I think I can do 2 Jacket shows in a year. If, and this is a totally hypothetical if, I may ask to crash on someones yard or driveway. Id have to go economy. Again, that is IF I can win the war that is about to rage in the Koehler household.

There will be a tasty bottle of some elixar and a pie from this place as ayment http://www.piekitchen.com/

EDIT: Oh hell, I was already told "No fucking way in hell"

We'll see, we shall see.....

Follow your evil urges mj, you only live once.  She'll get over it right?

(easy for me to say right? ;))
