[headhunter]

Great photos Kydiddle and the video is just awesome as jim was just so on!  The Mrs. and I were glad we made the drive from Long Island and got the chance to hang with you before, during and after the show.  See ya at T5

[kydiddle]

Jim seems like he's right on top fo you!  

a girl can dream ..

Exactly.

Hey headhunter!! It was great hanging out with you, too! See you in October!

LOL...I realized what that sounded like right after I posted it.  Oops.   :P

Wow! Where to begin?

I guess the best place would be to thank Trish and Bob for their hospitality at the Hyatt. What a great pre-show meetup we had. You guys are the best!! 8-) Liz- great to see you again, and hope to see you and lil-sis at T5. Glad you made it home ok

It was great to meet some other forum members for the first time: . Ky, Bluesky, Fiddle,Headhunter and the Mrs( my show buddy), you guys Rock!  I hope to see you all at T5, or even KFC. A special thanks to Ant for taking good care of our posters. Still can't believe we got #'s 1-4!! I hope you made it home to CT ok.  Apologies if I'm forgetting anyone.

Janecool and Jon: I'm so glad you joined us. It's always great seeing you two and I'm glad you got to meet some fellow Jacketeers. T5 is going to be so much fun. JC, I know you'll be a welcome addition to these boards and look forward to seeing you here. :-*

Nice venue on the water and had no trouble securing a spot wherever we wanted. Kudos to the ladies who were on the rail. I hope we'll see some pics. Jon and I and Mrs HH, got a prime spot by the Light tower that we were able to sit on for the opening act, and be at eye level with the band.

I thought the band was on fire last night. They always bring it,and I can't ever get enough.

There was so much energy coming from the stage and then sent right back by everyone down low. It was one of those special, magical nights, that I'll never forget and I'm glad I got to share it with so many here that love this band as I do.

Best Steam Engine I've ever seen or heard.

I'm loving Circuital more and more every time I hear it, and if this is what we can expect from the new album.....WOW. It's gonna be fantastic!

Honest Man !!!  Hell yeah. Loved seeing Touch me pt. 2 then pt.1 in the encore. Off The Record blew me away and even though I was hoping for another tune before OBH,or even after, they left it all on the stage last night. I know I was spent and can't even imagine how they felt afterwards.

Real cool hanging by the buses after. Never really did anything like that before, but glad we did. Patrick's wife was a sweetheart. Great to get Carl and Bo to sign our posters and Fiddle's Little Tikes.

Thanks to Bob for making the call to head back to the Hyatt. I was thinking the same thing, and glad to know I wasn't the only one who couldn't stay there any longer.

Did anyone get to see Jim?

I can't wait til we can do it again! See you at T5.

What a great show. Have to agree with earlier posting, last night's show up there with RCMH in June 08.

Love the new Song the played - "circuital" look forward to hearing that on the new album next year.

It was great hanging out with Dan & Jason (Jrud + GivenToFly) at the show last night. Thanks for adding to the experience.

Anyone know if they found the taping? I did see mic's been set up around the place, would like to find out.

Thanks MMJ for another memory.

Very nice pics diddle!!! ;D ;D ;D

[headhunter]

happy to say our poster made it home safe and sound and is now framed and ready to join those from our other shows on the wall of fame.  Another shoutout of thanks to Deathstick for taking such good care of it during the show.

That's Bo's signature on the top and Carl in the middle.

Two hours of sleep last night, got in at 4:15, sleeping by 4:30 up at 6:30. Dragging my ass around work all day was well worth it. I stuck around till about 1am just as the asshole security guard was tossing everyone the band came out to the bus. Finally got the JJ auto and hit the road.

Thanks to Bob and Trish for organizing such a great meetup with so many awesome people. It really says a lot about this band when its fans are such great people and it was a pleasure seeing everyone again. Can't wait until T5.

Congrats on the final signature for your poster (s)!

You deserve it for hanging around and your perserverance.

Hi all, long time fan, first time posting in about 3 years.  My wife and I met a bunch of forum members in the crowd last night (headhunter, northern neighbor, and a few others) and I decided I should hop on here again.  As always, the show was awesome.  Great venue and a great crowd with lots of energy.  I'm always amazed at how cool MMJ fans are.  The camaraderie among everyone and appreciation for how great MMJ are make the experience so much more meaningful.  The only bad part was having to drive back to Arlington, VA late at night, but it was well worth it.   Headhunter, I'll shoot you an email later because I'd love to get some of your pics.  Hope to meet some of you all at a future show...

Here's a couple from last night.

Big ups to IvyMike 777. I hope he's on here cause he has about 80% of the show up on youtube! 8-)

Any word on a recording? I've gotta hear Honest Man and Circuital again...

Also...Emmit, I forgot your name on the board here lol, shoot me a PM if you read this, I can get that hotel info for New York.

Also, to anyone else interested, I got a hotel in Newark (10 miles outside the city) for $35 a night. Yes, $35 a night. For the week it was 200 and change. One night in the city at a decent place is nearly as much. Good deal for anyone seeing all 5 shows.

Finger crossed that one shows up on Archive.

I heard there were a couple of tapers setup so hopefully one comes through.

There was one behind me, dead center and 10 yards from the stage. Because of how sharply the stairs elevated he was exactly the same height as the band. He had 2 mics. If you're reading this, good God man, please...
