Yes, I know, front row of the table level...my group are all 40-somethings, and while I intend to do my share of head banging, my friends are not quite as into MMJ as I am.

Ah, I see. It will still rock none the less, MMJ is awesome no matter where you are.

I really hope the volume isn't too low as to kill the energy. I've never been to a koko booth show so I don't know how loud it sounds. Hoping it won't be a problem!

me:

"Hello. I am attending the MMJ show in Cary on April 30th and I have heard several references to a noise ordinance in the surrounding area around the ampitheatre. I just wanted to stress my concern about the matter. Let's face it, a band like MMJ has to be turned up just a little to be truly rockin'. I know I don't need to worry about this, but nonetheless I am. Thank you so much for helping in bringing a truly amazing and legendary band to our wonderful state.

them:

"Hi Wilson,

Can you please tell me where you are hearing about the noise ordinance?  I have had several people ask about this and/or stress their concern and we would like to correct this.  Is it posted online somewhere?  Please advise.

Thanks!!

man i saw kings of leon there and they were turned down. The band even mentioned something about it. I was not that upset about the sound. down in the pit its plenty loud i though. I have seen numerous shows there and never really though of it as a problem. my bigger concern is a thought there was a 10:30 sound ordinance. every show ive seen there ends around this time.

Maybe we are making some progress! It's a known issue that the city and venue have addressed before (see link).....thanks for sending emails, atleast our voice is being heard.

so either we need to fund the fine for exceeding the volume limit or burn down the lions gate neighborhood. kidding kidding :(

Is that Charleston THROUGH Columbus?

I admire you, you are hardcore. Please do it so we can hang*

*I'll definitely be at Merriweather. Raleigh is changed to a "maybe".

I'm thinking that the volume won't be a problem. MMJ always has killer sound and I'm sure they will do what is necessary to get good sound.

Also, score on the 5db increase on weekends!

Are the PIT tickets already sold out!?

Edit: I suppose a better question would be: Will there be more PIT tickets available tomorrow when the regular sale opens?

Youa re right...looks like presale PIT is sold out now but can buy presale regular lawn.  If you want pit, I'd check out the regular sale tomorrow to see if more open up.  I would think so.

[suebeeboo]

Gonna be there with bells on friend! :D

Charleston through Columbus...I hope.  I'm not hardcore at all, I'm just easily talked into things   ;D  MPP is pretty definite though, and I'm working out the Raleigh details.  We shall see.  I really hope we get to hang!

On a related note, I told my mom last night that I was going to see My Morning Jacket and she gasped and said "OH!  ARE THEY COMING TO MILWAUKEE??"

She really wants to see them   ;D

Hallelujah!!!  I got PIT tickets!

They must have released additional PIT tickets since my failed attempt this morning.  Get 'em before those greedy scalpers snatch 'em all up.  

;D

[Jellyfish]

I got pit tickets! Can't wait! See ya'll there!  :)

[ALady]

Well then.  See you in the pit   :)

[anaru]
