Title: help...PLEASE
Post by: LaurenB on Mar 03, 2010, 07:53 PM
hello, I'm new here and I dont know anything about MMJ, but my boyfriend is a huge fan and has been for years. He has had some hard times and is now in rehab and will miss seeing MMJ play in New Orleans, which breaks my heart because I promised I would take him to see this band. Ive been trying to email their manager to see if I could get somethings signed for him as a surprise for when he gets out but the email address wont work. Does anyone know how I can go about getting the band to sign anything for him? I just trying to do something awesome to show him how proud i am and dont want to overly bother anyone. If anyone knows how I can do this please please let me know. Thank you :)

I know that sounded really stupid, but this band means alot to him, and Ive been promising him we would see them, even out of state, if we need to.I just never had the money and that I do, he cant go. so thanks again to anyone who takes the time to answer

What do you think this is some kind of hobo junkyard where you can just get autographs for free?  sha-right.  if being an addict is all it took to get a signature they would have given me one years ago.  

In all seriousness, I hope your boyfriend gets clean and all works out if you're for real.

Thanks to everyone thats been nice, I wasnt looking for sympathy or a free autograph or anything. Like I said I dont know anything about this band except that my boyfriend loves them. If the email link worked I wouldnt have come to the boards and Im more than willing to pay for autographs. I was just tring to do something nice for someone that deserves it. Hopefully the email link will work some other day, hopefully before Jazz fest, but thanks again for the advice

Lauren, hope you get an answer from someone and all the best to you and your boyfriend.

Icky, a little self-editing would go a long way.

dude, if she would have said cancer instead of rehab there would be no problem.  I said sorry and that if she was being serious that I hope things get better.  The last time I heard about cancer on here was when Jim donated his hair.  That's right, somebody out their owns Jim James DNA.  My few words aren't going to deter Mr. James and Co. from helping one way or another.  

I'll say it again, I'm sorry but that chick called me an asshole before explaining the situation.  It was their first post.  Cancer sucks, Two of my uncles have it right now.  It's horrible, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.  I hope he recovers and if needed scores a bodacious Yim Wig.

These are the best things I could find.  The only other stuff I could find were $250 signed guitars.

Their contact email addresses should work just fine...it says "manager at mymorningjacket.com" but that might not mean the link is broken.  Probably just means you have to type out "manager@mymorningjacket.com".  

I'm guessing it's so they don't get spammed by having the email address sitting out there on the site?

the email address manager@mymorningjacket.com wouldn't send out an email?  that should be right right address.  You can no longer click it, its not a link but if you type it in the email it should work fine.

Post by: LaurenB on Mar 04, 2010, 05:09 PM
yeah I thought typing it in would work too, I thought maybe it was an old email link or something. Maybe their inbox is full or something, Ill keep tring and thank u all again so much, really.

Lauren, what happens when you type in the address?  Does the email just bounce back as invalid?
