MMJ @ Portland, ME 10/15 Roll Call and Countdown

[johnnYYac]

Sold out?  That's more like it!  Glad to hear it, though I guess it might be a bit of a challenge getting a good spot in the GA floor.  Not too worried.  Anyone else to add to the roll call?

Norm's is a good call right next to the venue....I plan on hitting some other places before as I love Portland but I should make it with my crew to Norm's for the pregame.

Most excellent!  I finally caved and put in for a half-day at work so me and the wife can get to P'land with time to spare.  After we check in, maybe stroll around the immediate area, we'll head to Norms- I'm guessing on or after 4pm.  

ONLY TWO WEEKS TO GO!

Hey folks!

New to posting on the forum (been here for tabs aplenty).  The show sold out before thought to get tix, but another newbie posted tix for sale and the sale came off without a hitch.  Love the trust and community here!

Love the State Theater as a venue too!  Before they closed for renovation, it had an old theater character (like the Orpheum), but the best part is that they had all the seats pulled out of the pit and most of the orchestra. There were Seats in the balcony, and in the back of the orch if you wanted a rest, but 75% of the main floor was open for roaming, with stepped levels so us short folks could grab a rail halfway back and see over the head of all you vertically gifted folks.  There was a bar in the back of the orch as well.   Stone Coast brewery beer on tap (try the 420IPA if it's still on)!

So these facebook pix looks like more of the same - maybe a few more seats in the back of the orchestra, but the front is all open.

Can't f'ing wait!!  ...bringing a couple mmj virgins, if you want to add us to the list.

Peace all!

I am looking for 2 tix!  Booked flights... before I realized it had sold out!  Which I am happy about, should have sold out right away. Regardless, if anyone has extras, I'd be happy to pay a fair premium or whatever is right price.  Thank you.  

[bold992006]

There is a chance I might have an extra ticket....I'll post on here if I do.

[johnnYYac]

close enough...

Sounds like you are completely discounting the live Letterman webcast?  ;)

I was debating qualifying the statement, figured someone would correct me, but it is the return of MMJ to the stage without the benefit formal video coverage.  And, since I'm not going to Letterman or Jimmy Fallon, they don't count! ;)

Hey all - have been a fan since my first show in 2004 at the Space Gallery in Portland, been to many shows since, but would love to see them again in Portland before I move to Minnesota next month. Jim at Newport was outstanding, but I'd love to see all of the boys together again! Can't make NYC.

Am hoping to score an extra ticket for the re-opening of the State! If anyone has an extra, I would be grateful. You can post in this thread and I'll be sure to get back right away,

For those of you hitting Portland for the first time, enjoy it. It is a great city...

[Monkeyboy]

Yes, it is a great city!  Despite the cruise ships, tour buses and foreigners in Maine these days.  Gonna be a wet one (very much like BOA)  but at least we will be high and dry in the State.  Might head in for the sound check in the afternoon, I will report whateva I hear.  Look for an "MMJ" sign overhead on I95 on the way up around exit 25.

I'm so freakin excited. This is my third show. Living in Toronto and happened to stumble on MMJ in Bonnaroo 2008 where I went down to see other bands. They blew everyone away. Immediately booked tickets to MSG NY 2009 which was again awesome. The live music experience I've been looking for my entire adult life.

I'm originally from Fredericton NB Canada so I booked a trip home to see mom and am renting a car to go see my favorite band in the world at the State Theatre! This venue (and what used to be call Great Woods in Mansfield Mass) is where we went to see shows when I was in College. Last one I saw there had to be in 2003 or 2004. Govt Mule I think.

Until this show I couldn't even listen to MMJ because I thought I was going to miss the whole tour this year and it depressed me to listen knowing that. \

Now that it is right around the corner I couldn't be more exited. Driving to Portland early Friday morning and staying in one of the airport hotels (days inn).

Can't wait. Count me in on the meet up before the show!!! I'm sooo excited!

Looking forward to seeing you all at Norms and/or the show.  Me and the wife will be leaving Concord, NH around 1pm, so hope to be checking in to the hotel by 3pm.  Hope to hit Norms between 4 and 5.

So happy for all who are going to be there tonight.  We will be in NYC soon enough!  

Hanover NH, where Dartmouth is located, is probably 3 hours to Portland.  Add that to where your conference is.
