Hey guys,
Just wanted to see who's gonna be at ACL for the Jacket show. The only forum member I've met is Corey at Langerado this year (what's up dude) and I'd love to watch the show with some other folks that are in the exclusive club of serious MMJ fandom. Let's catch sound tribe too cause they'll be fresh from the red rocks shows and we should get some good songs. plus, we'll have plenty of time to set up camp at Jim's feet afterward. Who's coming with me?
-Ian
P.S. I'll be the really, really, ridiculously good-looking guy... ::)
I. Will. Be. Thar.
Yay!!!
QuoteYay!!!
I know I'm super excited! I've never been to TX. :)
dorothy and i will be there. we will be the ones sick on funnel cake. oh, AND THE ONES STANDING WITH EC.
EC:
Are you really coming all the way down from Canada? Are you a Terrance & Phillip fan by chance?
Whothrew:
I'm pumped there will be girls there. Every serious Jacket fan I meet is always a dude. and that's cool, because i fall within that same demographic, but it gets old. I'm thinking about signing up for MMJ-Date to find that special someone ;D
QuoteEC:

i appreciate terrance & phillip immensely. i don't think there will be a time in my life where i won't find jokes about farting funny.
i am really coming all the way from canada. i'll be in tx for a while, though. we've wanted to come to austin and a few other places down there for a while, and it made sense to book it around THE ROCK SHOWWWWWW.
Quotedorothy and i will be there. we will be the ones sick on funnel cake and breakfast burritos. oh, AND THE ONES SHAKING OUR FACES BESIDE EC.
that's great. i guess i can't bitch about the drive from Mississippi now! I'm trying to convince my buddy to come with me to lollapalooza for sunday to see them. It's like 10 hours, but I haven't seen the guys since March and that's too long.
I should be there. Coming down from Dallas. Don't have tickets yet.
Me and my husband will be there, along with 2 others from here and 5 more from SF. A reunion of sorts for those I was with at NYE (we are missing a few peeps). Ms. Yvon, I look forward to meeting up for a beer.
Anyone else bummed that Spoon cancelled the 9/13 show >:(
Hey stickey...we will be camping out up front too! We will be seeing Wilco here in August, so no need to see them at ACL if it means I can get a close spot.
Very nice. We were about 5 rows back the last time I saw them and it was sooooooo worth the wait. I'm so excited. September can't come soon enough!
Quote I'm so excited. September can't come soon enough!
Amen to that...and know that while there may be some of us married folk traveling with our group...I've got 3 super great single ladies in our crew who are major fans ;)
haha thanks wiz. i'm sure they'd be pleased to hear you want to hook them up with a stranger from the internet!!! but i do have to say, knowing that someone is a serious MMJ fan makes it VERY hard for me not to like them. Tell them I'm well-mannered, I can grow a solid beard, and I value personal hygeine. That about sums me up...well, obsessed MMJ fan is probably just as accurate
hey, do you remember the movie "the wizard" with fred savage and he had a little brother that was crazy good at nintendo? I loved that movie.

funny!...the ladies I know need no help. Just letting you know that there are plenty of of qualitiy MMJ fans out there (of the female persuasion). And they will be out in front with me at ACL. Truly, the rest is up to you ;)
oh Wizz that's too much pressure! Here's a little known fact about me though: the female persuasion is pretty much my all time favorite persuasion. I even know a couple personally, as evidenced by this photo (notice the mmj hoodie i'm wearing in a sea of about 5,000 panic t-shirts. somebody's gotta do it):

Oh, and this was the crew at Langerado about 20min before MMJ went on. We're all facing the stage so you can't see it, but we're about 15 feet from the guard rail. We were all in rare form, so please excuse the excessive smiling...

Hopefully, we'll have a hodgepodge of forum members in the one we take at ACL!

Damn, those pictures bring back some awsome memories! My Bday show, I can still remember running over to your group like a little girl when cobra came on. We will for sure one day meet up again for a show!!
Cody
Maybe then i can give you your dvd i never mailed off. Sorry :P
haha I still wait by the mailbox! sorry I wrote "corey" instead of "cody." that's my bad. it figures that the one badass fan we ran into was you! I don't know if you've see the picture i posted, but watson (the guy in the bright orange jacket that was with me) met and got a picture with jim in New Orleans earlier this summer.
Quotedorothy and i will be there. we will be the ones sick on funnel cake. oh, AND THE ONES STANDING WITH EC.
cakey, should we wear spanish dresses to honour shelby? steve's going to flip when he sees how ricock i get at a show, but that's ok.
*****ADVANCED WARNING*****
listen, for all of y'all who've never had me standing beside you at a concert, i whip my hair (fairly unconsciously), and apparently it hurts, so be careful and give me about a 2 foot long radius, which is approximately how long my hair is these days. if i do whip you, please let me know, and i will be more careful. the last time this happened, i found out because i looked beside me and a boy was encircling his girlfriend and using his hat as a shield, and so i felt embarrassed, and i wish he would have just told me.

i will wear a special shelb dress for every day she is not with us. here's the real deal though: i will be wearing very little at the actual festival because i will be suffering from heat stroke. i can't wait to see this hair flip action. we have been known to get a little bananaz as well
if you wear almost nothing, i will most likely not be flipping my hair to my morning jacket, but instead, basking in the hotness of yourself.
i keep forgetting that this is not facebook.

hehe i love the fact you gave everyone notice meg... :D that said, i've been in a similar situation at a gig, and got whipped across the face a few times. not a huge amount of fun. also inappropriately overenthusiastic dancers get a tad annoying sometimes ::)

poor sticky... i have to say you're right about the general demographic, although the demographic here (that i know of anyway) is me (girl obviously) and my flatmate (guy - he is literally the only ONLY person i know who has an album - apart from my best friend who i bought z for her birthday). so at least you have others around who love the jacket!!
i'm sure there's lots of lovely single jacket-loving chickies out there, just waiting for a guy who can achieve impressive beard growth and loves mmj!! ;)
My Dearest Ali,
Your kind words have restored my faith in humanity, and I certainly appreciate your vote of confidence. To think, you have only your flatmate with which to share the Jacket. I really shouldn't complain, because everyone close to me that I've taken to a show has been converted. It's the best to listen as your friends start to really get into them and you can see what songs get them hooked. I hope you'll keep buying MMJ albums for your friends' special occasions; maybe you'll get through to someone.
I'm so glad my old duplex-mate moved to Austin so I have a place to snooze. I will be there only for Sunday shows though (arriving late Sat afternoon). Hopefully I'll be able to meet a few of you then! 8-)

I so love that! The Jacket has the same effect on me. But I tend to pull my hair back into a pony tail due to heat. But watch out when the V comes out, I tend to jump up and down and flail about (arms, legs, you name it). I cannot help it, certain songs like One Big Holiday just totally bring it out! And I need enough room to be able to turn around and spin and the like (not super-crazy unlimited devotion style, but I definitely have left over spinning dance moves from my Dead tour days...or was that Dead tour daze..... ;))

let us take a minute and reflect on the history of the flying v and its role in the annals of musicdom:

here is a fine example of the old adage "it is possible to rock ANYWHERE, as long as you have a flying v."

Look....Jenny Lewis was in that movie! I do not remember seeing it, but maybe I will queue it up on Netflix as a guilty pleasure movie to watch.

oh it'll happen!! there's only 20 million people in australia, so sooner or later i'll have the whole population converted!!! ;D
oh man that takes me back. the Powerglove!!! You'll have to bear in mind that I was born in 1985, so a kid's movie about a Nintendo championship probably means a little more to me. If I were you, I'd put "me, you, and everyone we know" atop your list. I really enjoyed that one.
oh yeah, Wizz, "Now You're Playing With Power!!!"

Yeah...I am of the Atari generation, never was very good at Nintendo. Basically, being born in the 70's means that I am really all about Pinball.

I actually found this image on a shirt awhile ago (mine is a navy shirt with yellow wizard, not as awesome as this psychedelic version...but, when I got this shirt is when my husband coined me as the wizzard :))
Also, FYI, based on your suggestion, I just moved "me, you, and everyone we know" up on our Netflix queue (it was on there, but not in the next delivery). Miranda July was something of a Portland darling when I moved here, so I would love to see what she is all about.
See, after Super Nintendo I gave up cause there were 8-year-olds kicking my ass when Nintendo 64 came out. It probably benefitted my social health in the long run ::)
I don't think you'll be disappointed with "me, you...." I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ever since I was a young boy, i played the silver ball. from Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all...which is weird cause i'm not from New York.
that wasn't that funny. sorry.
This thing is getting really close. I have so much research still to do.
I think the headliners are strong this year, but the undercard, usually the jewel of this event is a bit weak. But maybe after digging up some info. I'll change my position on this.
I still can't decide if I'm gonna see MMJ or Wilco....
I mean, MMJ is MMJ.... however the last ACL performance is at the bottom of my MMJ shows list....
Never seen Wilco.
Hopefully MMJ will show up in the still open slot at Stubbs Saturday night and I won't have to decide.

Woad. i didn't realize that was her! I used to love that movie. it featured the premeire of super mario 3! I'm pretty sure this movie is out of print and hasn't been released on DVD. My brother in law, who's a geek for shitty or camp movies, saw a VHS copy at a convention for $60 and actually thought about buying it.
woah, actually they have released it. that must have just recently happen. It's going to the top of my netflix queue

fyi - Bob Dylan took the Saturday slot. bummer...

I sooo can't wait!!!............7 days....
Well, Rodrigo Y Gabriela cancelled at antones... that leaves a big hole for someone to fill....
i have one question:
[size=36]WHO'S PUMPED???[/size]
ME!
who else??
Quotei have one question:

I'M SO PUMPED BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HERE IN ONE DAY
I took down my speculations :P, here's the official word:
Per Austin360:
The White Stripes have canceled their Saturday ACL headlining gig and Stubb's show on Sunday.
ACL producer Charles Attal cited medical reasons for the cancellation. Attal said Tuesday afternoon after rumors about both U2 filling in and Friday headliner Bjork canceling that Muse, who were scheduled to play right before the White Stripes, will move into the open slot.
A sort of domino effect will happen, with all the acts on the AT&T stage Saturday moving forward. The new schedule:
2:30-3:30: Augustana
4:30-5:30: Stephen Marley
6:30-7:30: Damien Rice
8:30-10: Muse
A band for the now-empty 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. slot has not been announced.
One wonders whether this will solve the audience-splitting problem created by the Arcade Fire/White Stripes conflict.
And Ghostland Observatory and Cold War Kids will be playing the Sunday night show at Stubb's previously occupied by the White Stripes. Tickets go on sale at 5 p.m. tonight. Check out stubbs.frontgate.com for ticket information.
edited: *no more speculations needed* :P

in just about 48 hours, I will be landing in Austin to meet with my SF peeps and hopefully get to meet some of you all! Besides my major let down with the White Stripes cancelling....I am super Stoked!
Sweeet! Just picked up a ticket to the Dylan show at Stubb's! Three minutes later, I think it already sold out.
there's only one jenny lewis film that works for me, and that's the classic Troop Beverly Hills.
you guys will recognize me because i'll be the person on the front row wearing a flamingo suit WITH A NECK TIE
You guys are going to see a GREAT show! Have a good time everybody.
