Austin!
im thinking about going to dallas on fri. I am hoping that the dallas shows don't tire mmj for my austin show. I hope the second night will be just as awesome as the second, maybe the second night will be a night of rarities, wouldn't that be awesome?
Yes, rarities! And long-playing favorites! And obscure covers! All the things we long to hear at MMJ's legendary live shows! I didn't *fully* appreciate Cobra the first time I heard it 2 years ago in Dallas, may we please hear that one again? ;)
One week left! Gimme a roll call peoples!
myself and a friend will be at the dallas show next friday!!!
and myself and a BUNCH of friends will be at the austin show on saturday!!!
driving down from arkansas!!!
R U still needing a place to stay Blaine? I wasn't sure if I was going to have to miss the Dallas shows due to working at night, but now I'm 90% sure I'll be working days next week.
I'll be at all three shows (fingers crossed!)
This will be my 2nd time to see them this year, but Rites of Spring Festival at Vanderbilt is still a little fuzzy in my memory.
i'm not sure if we will be needing a place to crash or not...
we were thinking of just picking up a hotel room somewhere in between dallas/austin...one of my buddies just got back from iraq
wow... for some reason my post got cut short!
anyways, i'm supposed to meet up w. my friend really early next saturday morning, and i would hate to put you out and then wake you up early the morning after a jacket show!!
i know that can be tough!!!
but i would like to meet up and maybe have a beer or four before the show!! it's always great hangin out w. people who like good music!!! you in???
I'm up for anything. Also, etwvigO owes me a beer too. But now it will be to cry in since Texas lost to KState on Saturday.
I just got back from Austin, and I can verify that the city is still there. Everything is a GO.
Whatever works for you. There are mid size towns every half hour on your way down to Austin from Dallas. Which is cool because it gives you driving goals and opportunities to stop for breaks, but when you've driven that route as many times as I have, they pretty much taunt you with expectedness and inability to get to Dallas/Austin faster.
Dallas
Waxahachie (some optoions_
Hillboro (probably pretty convenient on and off the highway)
Waco (bigger city, Baylor University may have hostels?)
Temple (nice town, but hell if you've made it this far)
Georgetown
Keep Austin Wierd
awesome!!
thanks for the info!
i used to live in both dallas and austin, but that was years ago and i don't make it down past dallas very often.
i'll shoot you an email later this week and give you my cell # that way we can try and meet up!!
If you guys are interested, me and mine will probly be at Sol's Taco Lounge before the show - it's just a couple blocks from the Gypsy.
Anybody have any afterparty info?
taco's sound great to me!! will probably head that way before the show!! we will be two dudes that look like they have been in a car all day!! ;D
yo. i will be driving up from houston on friday and wondered about what time the band will go on. i know to get there ASAP to get a good spot in line before the doors open, and thus inside the club, but some shows i've arrived at 10 and the band was already halfway done. it takes something special for me to make the houston to dallas drive, on a traffic-packed friday no less (45 SUX!), but considering they didn't reschedule for houston and i punked out for last year's gypsy show, it's time to hit the road! any houstonians making the trek that day? i might suggest taking 59 N then cutting over to 45 at cleveland. maybe i should just call in sick...
I'm coming from Oklahoma that day, also dealing with interstate traffic on I-35, though not as bad as 45 I'm sure. And I am taking the whole day off in order to get there in enough time, even though my girlfriend won't be ready to go until 1! I think we got inside at about 8:00 last year, after the opener had started and we ended up pretty close to the stage.
Hey blaine - I'll be looking for you, we're 2 couples and we'll have that road-weary look also!
last year they didn't start until 10:00 or 10:30. It was pretty crowded. I got there at 10 and only made my way up 2/3 of the crowd cuz I was with a date. It was still great.
The gypsy tea room is flat so it helps to get good vantage points or be tall.
I just got my tix today! This will be my second show, and first time to Dallas since The Crossroads Guitar Fest. It would be cool to hang with some of you guys before or after the show, someone hit me back to try to make this happen.
Here's where my compadres and me will be before the show:

I'll be on the lookout for anyone that might be an MMJ freak - find us and we'll have some beers and bourbon!
Are you all specifically talking about meeting up on Friday or are some of ya'll going on Thurs.
Also I'm up for whatever, but Adairs is also a pretty cool bar/honkey tonk.
i'm gonna be at both dallas shows, but i cant make it to the austin show - which i have two tickets for.
sooo is anyone looking to score two austin tickets for below face value?
yeah i think so, let me make some phone calls.
PM me your price.
I'm just going to the friday show :'(
Hey dudes.......I need a Friday ticket. I've slacked and keep forgetting to get it, but now they're sold out. You think Good Records has any left?
Does anyone have an extra for me to buy? I live in Dallas.
Thanks.
Ahh..It feels like yesterday I was waiting for the
Dallas show to roll around..Ill be hitting up the
Thurs/Friday shows myself. Def! will be getting there early,
last year we showed up around 9:30 and IT WAS PACKED!!
Wanted to go to the Austin show but alas have to leave town
for the thanksgiving holiday..oh well..I will be make sure to get
my fill in Dallas..by the way..the print for the Dallas 17th show
is up on Steve Smothers site if anyone wanted to get that out of the way before the show.. ;) ;D
cheers!
Do they serve alcohol in the Gypsy?
yes..alcohol will be served.. :)
It's sometimes pretty hard to get a drink at the Gypsy. Also, I wouldn't try and illegal activities in there - they have that place on lockdown pretty hard. This includes picture taking, bringing in a flask, or puffing.
Also, Sol's and Adair's are great. Definitely reccomend either of those two for pre-show eats and drinks.
I NEED 1 FRIDAY PLEASE

agreed..although..funny thing is..Ive only tried to "sneak" in a bottle to one show at the Tea Room and that was the
MMJ show last year..no problems..but yeah..If you are parked up front..it will be a journey to get to the bar and back..thats
if you can make it...

that's a sam adams if i remember correctly. Plans have changed and will only be at the thurs. show. But will be making the trip to Austin as well. I'll get a hold of you before the show and square up with you. ;)
I also need two tickets for friday, willing to pay top dollar. coming from temple tx. Please, if you have any call my cell at 254-624-0491. Im jeremiah

Take note and say hello!

does anyone know how will call works at gypsy tea room? do i get in the same line as everyone else or does will call have a separate window?
im trying to figure out my gameplan so i can get there early to get a good spot in front.
No there are two lines. One is for will call, but nobody seems to know what line they are standing in. But it doesn't take to long to figure out. Bring your id (obviously), but I don't think they make you show the credit card used to purchase.

Well they better play the frick'n bear then!
I know one drunk dude from last year that would be extremely happy!
What time do you think MMj will take the stage?
What time do you tihnk MMJ will take the stage?
1015 to 1030
Rrrrrreally??? The doors open at 7. Is the time you gave for sure, or a guess???
based on my experience almost 1 yr ago to the day, but that was a Friday show.
So it is a guess.
i would be hella surprised if the started before 10
hey... i hope this pic works (first time posting a pic)...
anyways... this is me on the right... my buddy jeremy on the left... he's coming with me... we will be at the friday night show in dallas and the saturday show in austin!!
be sure to come say hello if you wanna...
this is actually a pic of us from the jacket show @ city hall in nashville last year... funny of all the pics/shows i've done w. jeremy that a jacket one is the only one i have... hahaha

come on....someone....1 friday ticket....please
I know it's last minute, but if you're still lookin', I just got a +1 on the list, and no +1 to use it. Look for a big guy, pony-tail, Pink Floyd "Momentary Lapse" shirt over a Kozik "smokin' bunny" T. I'll either be at the tattoo shop across the street, Sol's, or in the club.
Oh, and Billy's the name.
Oh oh, and Patrick rules!
wow i did not realize that finding 2 tickets for the show on fri was going to be such a problem. I have spent all day going to every broker in dallas to try and find 2 tickets. I paid someone at my work 50 dollars just so i could drive up fri and see mmj. I hope somebody is going to sell some scalped tickets. I want to see them more than just sat in austin. am i being to greedy.
Yeah they came on about 9:20 or 9:30. So tommorrow night probably about the same.
I kept telling my brother once he heard Run Thru that was it, the end of the show. But surprisingly after Run Thru they kept it going one more song with Anytime, which was bad ass!
My ears are still ringing!
I think the first three songs were...
It beats For U
The Way He Sings
Gideon
During Mahgeetah Tommy's bass went out, so he dance around with a bear much like Jim did with PJ.
I don't get internet access at work. So if some of ya'll solidify a meetup before the show, please post the point and time.
Last night was not very crowded at all. It was fairly filled by MMJ though.
They closed with Run Thru and then Anytime.
They also played (not in order). I Think I'm Going To Hell, Lay Low, I Will Sing To You (yeah!), X-mas Curtain, At Dawn, Dondante, Bermuda Highway, Golden, Gideon, They Way He Sings, Mahgeetah, Nashville to Kentucky (I think), Off the Record, One Big Holiday, I needed It Most (I think), It Beats 4 U,....
Gypsy Tea really knows how to do Wordless Chorus.
Songs NOT played last night that I think you will hear tonight: Phone Went West, The Bear, O is the One, Lowdown, Dancefloors, Heartbreakin Man, Oxen (I doubt it), Sooner (doubt it)
Had a blast last night..everything was cool (except for those
stupid drunk fcks in the front) but whatever..I still had a blast.. quick query..Should I "assume" that there will be no repeats for tonights shows? ??? just wondering..
my watch says they started at 9:11 last night, wax fang ended at 8:45. i saw them at central market today. that was kinda funny.
Quotemy watch says they started at 9:11 last night, wax fang ended at 8:45. i saw them at central market today. that was kinda funny.
