I'm getting really sick and tired of going into work and being like...
"yeah, i'm gonna need some time off, maybe like early Aug, maybe like late Aug. I'm juuuust not sure yet."  
and my boss being like,
"well what's going on"
and me sounding like a dumbass and being like
"well, there's this band like I really really love - like you know the way people love The Grateful Dead and love Bruce Springsteen and shit like that - well I love this band that much"
and then my boss says...
"ohhh yeah? who are they"
and I say, in my most clear and punctual voice possible
"My-Morning-Jack-et"
"My Morning What?"
"Jacket Sir...regardless, you gotta hear these guys, and once you do you'll understand"
and then my boss is like
"alllllright, weeeelllll just let me know because I need to know what I'm looking at for this summer and what not...this whole thing is really holding me up..."
and me, like a coward, saying something like
"yeah yeah, I should know in a couple days, any day now"
and then they DON'T announce it and I'm stuck doing the same fucking thing every 4-5 days.  sigh.  
God damn those shaky knees.

that sure is a lot of whining from someone who likes to get punched in the face and have beer poured on them at rock n' roll concerts...   ;)
Jim brings all his love, passion, energy and mystery to the stage and says, "I'm right here."

You still have that CA/MMJ flag Funky?

You might be waiting for a few more weeks.  Outside Lands will reveal their lineup on June 1st.

I'm having the same problems, my boss needs my summer schedule ASAP and I am running out of ways to avoid giving him one.
The fact that my heart's beating,
Is all the proof you need

I know Tracy, right, you would think because I'm such a fuckin' badass that waiting around for tour dates wouldn't matter to me. I mean shit - I've been three sheets to the wind on acid at a Rage show getting punched in the face, this shouldn't really matter...but for some unexplainable reason I got ants in my pants.

Yes Bill, I still got the Cali MMJ flag.  I recently moved to Durango Colorado and made a new flag.  It's not a MMJ flag, it's an Old Crow Medicine Show flag.  It's dope as hell.  Hopefully someday my dreams will come true and Old Crow and MMJ will tour together - this way I can bring both flags.  

NEWAY - see ya'll in California in August. look for the dude spilling beer and getting punched in face, and liking it.  ;) I kid I kid. I'm an awesome fan and an awesome show goer.  You just gotta believe me on this one guys... :D
God damn those shaky knees.

A little birdie told me they're going to spend most of the summer recording and just play a handful of dates here and there.

Well go get some sunflower seeds and try to squeeze some more info out of that bird!   ;)
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

This birdie didn't specify any more dates they were going to book other than the ones they have scheduled with one exception.  I know this isn't what you guys want to hear, but a possible Louisville date was mentioned.

well, that's pretty much exactly what i want to hear.

i'm ashamed to admit i was a very late arrival to the MMJ nation. when i think of all the local shows i missed over the years it makes me want to cry. :'(

but there's still time....for me to benefit from living in the hometown of the world's bestest rock 'n roll band.

Interesting. I figured they would make some stops along the way between Outside Lands and the Petty shows on the east coast. Im sure we will find out soon enough!

restlesssoul

I would REALLY REALLY appreciate knowing if and when these shows are happening....i thought Vancouver would for sure get a date near Sasquatch, most bands do this. We didn't get an evil urges show, pemberton doesnt count. Im still debating whether or not to make the 5 hour journey to the gorge for a sold out show.

Announce already

Ehhhh.... if they did just record mostly then we can't be all too upset. I just hope they go back to more of their old sound but I don't think that's likely. Regardless, I hope one of their "stops" happens to be LA ;)
Was some shaking and some...record playin

*THE REAL ADMINISTRATOR SAYS* ASK NICELY AND SAY PLEASE and MMJ might be able to add a few more shows in the US, but only if you put your energy towards it so I can write it down and make the best informed decision...come on folks, you should know how this story goes by now.
