Tom Petty/MMJ Roll Call 8.24.10

[ynwa]

AMC - i'll keep my eyes open & fingers crossed for ya!

fiddle - according to wikipedia IZOD & MSG have the same capacity,  but for some reason IZOD doesn't seem as massive to me.  you will be a-okay!

Question is: do I get tix for this show not being a Petty fan, or do I hold out on hope for another east coast tour? I can't afford to do both

I think you wait it out.   I think if there is a tour, we will know fairly soon - and I don't think Petty tix are flying out the door.    I would actually guess prices will come down on stubhub/ebay/craigslist as it gets closer.

[ynwa]

finally got my tickets - section 121!

[johnnYYac]

BUMP!

[FiddleCastro]

Hey CD -- this is at the Izod center/Giants Stadium.  No lawn seats available to my knowledge - it's an indoor venue.

There is a new train stop at the stadium --

Keep me posted.... ;D ;D

[ynwa]

so, looks like rain on tuesday.  personally, it wouldn't phase me if this WAS an outdoor event.  but, izod is a closed arena.  tailgating might be difficult but i am still game.  surely we can work something out.

penny - if you take the train from hobes to the essex street stop in hackensack, i can pick you up on the way over to izod:

and i'd be more than happy to drop you at the secaucus junction afterwards, where you should be able to catch a train back to hobes (hackensack lines stop pretty early - mainly a commuter line).  let me know if you are down.

sis & i will be heading over for some tailgating.  not exactly sure what time yet.  location is tough to call - wherever we roll up, i guess.  haha

i'll PM you my cell so we can join forces  :)

[lil sis]

Is it normal that I haven't been able to focus AT ALL today?  I can barely contain the excitement!  :D

[epforbes]

I'm going to the show tonight and was just wondering what time MMJ went on stage.  Thanks.

[ynwa]

epforbes - my ticket says 7:30 so i would imagine something pretty close to that.  they might want to hit the stage on time to max their set time *fingers crossed*

lil sis - yes.  it's a very common affliction that many people suffer from  :D

[JerseyDan]

7:30pm stagetime SHARP!!!!

[mahg33ta]

it's 7:30!   Do you know where your favorite band is?  have fun all!

Thanks Magheeta!

We are home already -- left before Petty came on (babysitter) and (lame ass) Tom petty fans.

Thanks to Liz & Lil Sis, we were able to "stub down" to awesome seats, where, naturally, we were not sitting!  After about 5 songs, a lame old couple yelled at us to sit down.  I looked at this couple, with a sense of complete and honest bewilderment....tunrned back around and kept dancing.  Then after 1 more song, the wife walked up to the security guard standing right in front of us (which was the floor section) complained, and he told us we had to sit down.  I was like, seriously, this is a concert.  And then I proceeded to ask him about the policies of the venue and that I found it very hard to believe that there was a rule that standing and dancing was prohibited during a concert.  Bla bla bla.....we moved back a few rows, got yelled at some more, and sat down for a song or two.  I even pleaded my case to Jim, letting him know that we were sorry, but were made to sit down ( I was a little loud, a little jersey).  Then came OBH - which we knew was the last song.  I informed the comatose row of people behind us (me, bob & fiddle) that we WOULD be dancing during this song, but that as soon as it was over, we would be outta there.  They were cool.

9 song set, let me remember --i think this is right:

Rollin Back intro
The Way that he Sings
Off the Record
Gideon
Golden
Magheetah
I'm Amazed
Circuital
Tonight I want to Celebrate with You
Wordless Chorus (did I imagine this)
One Big Holiday


Was a wee bit shorter than we hoped for, but we were SO happy to be there, and so happy to cheer and scream for the boys, when so many people were sitting in their seats - CLUELESS!

Oh yeah, during the dancing I lost my phone, amex and driver's license.  Luckily someone nice noticed us and gave me back my phone and amex after they were done (and we were by the concession stand)  I was lucky - then we ran back and found my license.  

Love this band so much!
Nighty night!  See ya in Philly!
