Title: RCMH show and the summer solstice
Post by: logan5ive on Jun 18, 2008, 02:05 PM
(My apologies if this has already been mentioned or discussed elsewhere.)

MMJ's show this Friday, June 20th has a start time of 8:00PM. The summer solstice this years begins this Friday, June 20th at 7:59PM.  So, in essence, the show will start at the very beginning of the summer solstice.  Coincidence?  This show was announced way back at the beginning of the year....was it's date selected for a specific reason?

Discuss.

:)

Pretty cool coincidence, but I doubt it goes much further than that.

Cool article I read yesterday regarding the solstice...

It is, in fact. Winter solstice (Dec 21, also my birthday) is the shortest day of the year.

That's really cool to hear that someone who has been to that many shows is just as excited as I am to go upto NYC for this show. Can't wait to get on that train on Friday afternoon!

Those hippies and their solstice shows.

I expect them to be fully in tune with the sun and rage some fire from that stage.
