PHILLY Roll Call!!

[hacksaw]

I downloaded the show yesterday around this time and Im pretty sure the only time I've stopped listening to it was when I was asleep. The quality on the recording is absolutely excellent. This is the best live recording around not named Okonokos, IMO (I suppose we could include Acoustic CitsuocA in there as well, but you get the point). Again, Jess, a million thank yous.

As for hacksaws comment...meh, to each his own. IMO if you're standing there listening for refined blues chops when Jim and Carl are doing their thing then you're missing the point anyway. Bob your head and shake your ass a little, you might enjoy yourself. So a self described internet "guitar expert" says it was disappointing...ok? He's entitled to his opinion. It blew the top of my head clean off (you can hear a wet thud if you listen closely at the 4:34 mark), so I don't really care what anyone else has to say about it lol.

Finally somebody counters my opinion without personally attacking me. Thank you.

MMJ is great, they are just overrated live. I guess Canandaigua wasn't the best show to see them live for the first time...I'm willing to give MMJ Live a second chance if Jim agrees to play a setlist I wrote out for them. Anybody know how to contact Jim? Somebody make this happen...I make the best dream setlists ever.

J_rud, were you right on the rail, wearing crab shorts?

I was most definitely wearing crab shorts LOL

Yeah, that was me directly behind you, with the long hair and beard. We, uh...helped you out at one point during the show. Haha.

I think we had the same spots for the MPP show, too.

Maybe people wouldn't attack you if you weren't so arrogant...

Bahahaha, I was thinking it had to be you or someone else close by. Knew it had to be someone pretty damn close to see the crabs.

Hey everyone I just made a name thing on here so I can connect further with everyone! I was also hangin out by the buses with you guys, I was the girl who made the shirt that I was trying to get everyone to sign. [highlight]I was with my little sister and that was her first jacket show, what an experience for her! (I mean for me as well, but your first jacket experience including pics, chats, and autographs with a few band members, so happy for her!) [/highlight]
It was awesome meeting everyone, I don't remember everyone's names, but I did promise to connect with people on facebook, hope they find me here! you guys are pretty awesome!

My sister took me to my first show (she's ynwa on here) and it's definately a great experience to share--especially when it "clicks"!

[highlight]ynwa: please take note of myhighlights...you will need to work on these for my next show with you at T5  ;)

[/highlight]

it's already set up!  i talked to management & explained that you had to miss the philly show due to being pampered by your boyfriend.  they said they were very sorry to hear that & asked if there was anything they could do to make up for it.  so i told them if they could arrange a meet & greet during T5 week, that'd definitely be a nice consolation.  then they asked what shows you were attending & i told them you have tix for every night except ISM, which is the night you want to go to most of all.  they said that was "totally unacceptable" and "flat out ridiculous" & that they are sending you a ISM ticket and 2 backstage passes for that night!!!!  (hope it's ok that i gave your address to a total stranger)

after all i've done for you, i better get that 2nd pass!  it's about time i got some fucking gratitude.  hell, i'd even wipe the slate clean!

Dying!  ;D

Mmmm, yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and request one more pass.  The bf outdid himself this week so we're going to need to make some room for him.   So if you could just go ahead and make that call, that would be terrific, OK?

On another note, we need to talk about those TPS reports.

[ynwa]

Oh, by the way.

Make it dark, Marky!

I love this more than just about anything.

YES!

[highlight]what does it mean?[/highlight]

and about those TPS reports - yeah.  i got the memo.  and i understand the policy.  and the problem is just that i forgot the one time.  and i've already taken care of it so it's not even a problem anymore.

I came very close to re-naming my Fantasy Football team The Dark Markys.

[jrod00]

Forgot to mention that before the show-at around 3 p.m.--I sliced my ankle open on a large shard or broken glass while moving some furniture.  It was evident that an emergency room visit was necessary, but missing the show or getting there late was not an option.  So my mom/mom-in-law executed an on-the-spot tape job, my wife and I went to the show and then the emergency room afterwards--seven stitches later I'm recalling the two blissful hours I spent in the presence of the great Jacket.

true devotion! hope it's healing up well!

yeah, that security guy was a dick.  "if everyone doesn't stand at least 1 foot behind this fence nobody's getting any pictures or autographs."  haha

that's awesome that you got the missing jj signature etc!  i'm so psyched for you, i know you were bummed about that.  now i wish i'd stayed.  check that.  now i wish i'd thought ahead & took a vaca day on monday so i didn't have to worry about only getting 3 hrs of sleep before my 13 workday  ;D  

can't wait to see the pics!  congrats!

Here's the Philly poster. There was no way I wasn't getting #1/155 signed.

Anthony - that looks awesome!!   That's like scoring a Royal Flush in a poker tournament!

You should frame it, hang it and display it proudly!

I took lots of good pictures and videos and just found out the memory card wasn't in my camera.. I am depressed.  :-[

Ouch that sucks. You should just go to the tf show or something. At least you'll finally hear the bear.

great pics- thanks for posting.  Very enjoyable.   Made me wish I'd brought a real camera to my recent show instead of the blackberry.   I had the best vantage point I'll ever have and ended up with lots of:



but yours are fantastic!!!

I'm actually thinking about buying two tickets and just see what happens when that day comes. I'm sure I'll find someone to go with by then.. I think when I finally hear that song, I'll probably cry. Haha

Everybody got such great photos during the show. I really need a good point-and-shoot camera because they surely won't let me bring in my dslr.
