Voodoo Fest, MMJ showing more love to NOLA

[NoVa_NoLa]

Thanks for the welcome, Easy!

I usually try to get to the "sweet" spot sound-wise, but it really depends on the crowd.  I like to have a little room to move around, so I'm usually out of the fray towards the back.

That weekend is going to be huge:  Saints home game against the Steelers Sunday night, Halloween Sunday night, and VooDoo Fest.  I'm still waiting on the MoMs shows details, but I think the band will be Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes.   ;)  Love, love, love this band.

I just have to figure out how I will make it to work on Monday.  ;D

MLBrady...looks the the daily tix are $60+fees = $73.40

The Voodoo block schedule is being released this Friday.

The festival ends at 9PM on Sunday night, so hopefully the boys will go on by 7 at the LATEST!!!

Can't freakin' wait  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

(perhaps an after-festival show announcement will come out soon as well??? we can dream, can't we?)

[touchingmept2]

I need to find out about any after shows cuz the schedule has the last shows from 7 to 9. And 9 is just too early to call it a night esp on hallows eve. I've also gotta find out what mmjs tour bus looks like so I can be a creeper and wait by it hehehe.

[NoVa_NoLa]

Haven't heard of any MMJ shows...Tips is booked with a solid show that starts at midnight -- the New Mastersounds.  If you want to dance all night, go to this show.

MoMs Ball is the 30th...Johnny Sketch then Papa Gros Funk.

There's a lot of stuff happening...I'll get serious about posting stuff after T5.   :)

Galactic at Tips Friday night late show is a must if you like to Funk it up :D

[touchingmept2]

Same here dude!  We won't be in NOLA til early Sat morning tho but oh well!  

Ah, I see you're a fellow Okie.  Which part of OK are you coming from?

[EasyRyder]

Glad to see more people from the forum are getting tickets. Is anyone planning on staking out a spot up front as soon as the gates open?

This is my first voodoo, so I don't know how things usually fill up.
I definitely want to see some other bands throughout the day (especially PHJB since Jim might make an appearance), but to not be on the front row would be tragic for me!

If anybody's interested in fencing off a forum base camp on the rail of the Voodoo stage, I'll bring some barbed wire to contribute.

I realize any answer to this question would be pure speculation, but is there any likelihood of the boys playing an after show following Voodoo?

It all ends at 9 on Sunday, so it shouldn't be past their bedtime....then again after T5 and Louisville exhaustion probably isn't the half of it.

I've been checking the mahalia jackson theatre every day and there's still nothing for the 31st, but it would be very short notice if they announced one now.

Ah, I see you're a fellow Okie.  Which part of OK are you coming from?

I'm from durant, aka dead rat. Southeastern part of ok. I've been looking forward to the voodoo fest since June!!! I hope the boys play longer than 2 hours... an aftershow would be nice. Also a cover of ccr's "I put a spell on you" would almost be a given since it will be in bayou country hehehe!!! ::)

:)  Likewise!  I wish that I had had a little more energy after the show Saturday, but I was wiped out.  OBH took the last of what I had left.  Great meeting you and hopefully our paths will cross again soon!!

Well, at this point I doubt anything official will be announced.  They may go out after their show (I met Patrick at Johnny White's after the Pres. hall Jazz Fest show), but I don't think there will be an MMJ show directly after their set at VooDoo.

Forecast revision..it's been muggy and hot here all week.  It's gonna rain cats and dogs today giving way to beautiful sunny clear skies through the weekend.  It will be a little cooler than my first post, so you may want a sweater or something.  I'm not sure how much rain we'll get or how muddy the festival area might be after today's rain.  I'll post more weather (how exciting!) if things change drastically.

I forgot about the time change  :D What a pleasant surprise...

I was kinda hoping the whole set would be played in the dark, and it appears now it will (after all, it wouldn't be the same if they played The Dark in the light)!

Excellent.
