Title: Philly show count
Post by: pjmmj86 on Sep 04, 2008, 12:30 PM
Only one day away from sheer awesomeness. Bringing my friend along who is a big MMJ fan but has yet to see the power of The Jacket live. Last time I saw them was in Philly back in 2006 so I need my MMJ fix. Can't wait.

So, who else is going?

I shall be there with my girlfriend, who I have been indoctrinating of late.  It'l'l be just my 2nd MMJ show, I first saw them at the E Factory 12/1/06.  I can't begin to explain how freakin' psyched I am.  I'be be in line early as the dickens if I didn't just start a new job; however, I'll be paying my gracious sister to get in line and hold a spot for me.  See ya'll there!

GivenToFly and I will be there with  our Special Lady Friends and another friend. Last show of the summer...








































and then on to New Years ;D

That's crazy jrod. This will also be the second time I've seen the boys and my first time was the very same concert you went to. Small world, isn't it?

The last stop for my Summer of the Jacket.   I will be at the show with a huge crew of people, possibly 20+ people.   Last show of the summer...

Great to hear Alex, figured youd be there. Philly has certainly travelled well this summer. You going to Cavanaughs pre-show?

i love how philly represents j rud!  i think the plan as of now is just to party in the lots before the show since there are so many of us going.  we were originally going to go to the Race Street Cafe before the show.  but since the summer is ending we thought it would be more fun to just party in the lots.

Myself and 3 other friends will be making our way down starting with the Phunk at 5:30.  This will be the second time we see MMJ this summer we caught them with a friend in Denver and the moon was a howlin' and we were reborn in the fire and brimstone of Red Rock Ampitheatre as Jim James said.  Can't wait to catch them back in my hometown though.  After this its off to New York for New years eve

I took the day off. Wednesday and today too, for good measure. With the DC show Wednesday and the Giants game tonight, and the Festival Pier tomorrow, I figured a late summer vacation was in order.

indeed it is.  That was such an awesome show.  I wish I could travel around and see them more, but alas, certain things keep me from doing that.  I have a feeling tomorrow night is gonna be one of the better ones, ever.

Gonna be there, hopefully up front, for my first MMJ show ever.  Real excited for this one seeing as its my first one and its general admission. Also going to the Thurs one in Chicago and the New Years one.  Keep an eye out for a college kid with hot pink pants.

Me and two of my friends will be there around 4-ish, my first jacket show, they both saw them at bonnaroo.
Is anyone bringing anything interesting (music instruments etc.) for the time before the doors open?
