I am hyperventilating.....
who is IN???
near Rochester....282 miles from me ;D ;D ;D
that's like, 9 hours, imma pass :'(
i am IN :D
I am in H-Burg. Considering a weekend trip to Pittsburgh, NY, then Philly.
3.5 hours to Pitt
5.5 to NY
5.5 back to Philly
2 hours home
That's not too insane, right? Now if I could just find some money...
The NY venue looks beautiful. Please go tdb.
By the way, I am typing all this while listening to Acoustic Citsuoca, so I am under the influence of awesomeness.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW! We are in serious logistical planning mode over here in jersey as well!!!
this venue does look pretty nice. almost an exact copy of saratoga performing arts center over here by me. only about 3.5 hours from my town, it is on. not sure when my little bro starts up school again next year, but if he is back at RIT by then i can just crash at his place!
that's cool!!

oh the good 'ol RIT days. Is this place the old Darien Lake venue? They used to have shows there all the time.
Nice to see MMJ playing a lot of nice (and cozy) outdoor venues this summer!
although i really wish i could give a "HELL yes!" this one may not be feasible for me :'(
fiddle - i don't think it's 9 hrs for you. it's only about 5 from nj. just sayin...

I think this is a different place. It isn't SUPER close to RIT, but it's a heck of a lot closer than driving back to Albany.
All day I've thought about going on a weekend tour following MMJ around, Pittsburgh & Philly (two of my favorite cities) and up to the Finger Lakes and the beautiful scenery.
Bliss...
We're gonna do it, sister. Get on the bus!
Lovin it! We booked our Vermont tix today, and we are definitely doing Philly (and sandwiching the Izod center in between)....NY is a maybe right now, what with child care and all that jazz!
We will see as the date gets closer -- but so far its:
JJ with DMM and BS in Brooklyn 7.30
Vermont 8.20
Izod Center NJ 8.24
Philly 8.29
Though jumping on the bus is sounding SOooooooooooooooooo appealing right now!
i see that this is a seated venue, but on ticketmaster if you change the view from end stage to table set up, it looks like the 2 sections right in front of the stage can be removed. anyone know if they will use that as a GA pit for this show?
snagged some 4th row tickets on carl's side just now!!

Just got four on the floor. See you all there.
15 minute wait in Ticketmaster? What the...
Quote15 minute wait in Ticketmaster? What the...
That's what was happening for the 2008 NYE show when Ticketbastard and the scalper's shut everyone out...the wait would go from 1 minute, jump to 10, back down to 5 and them jump back up to 15. It was a circus and nobody got anything decent during that sale.
Wah. Thanks vespa.
I'll try again tomorrow. :)
I followed the link from CC - used the passwod: Jacket and went for best available. Section LCR - BEAUTY.

you lucky bast. i got 4th row llc which is still pretty damn awesome so i cant complain. have fun in your awesome seats!
As of a month ago, I had no intentions of going to this show. Then I realized I have two whole seasons to wait between now and the T5 shows. Long story short, I'll be coming down from Toronto on the 28th.
Picked up some sweeeeeeet 3rd row RCE tickets on eBay at a VERY good price -- have never been so happy with eBay brokers.
So pumped!

My wife and I will likely be coming from Ottawa, Ontario since the band isn't playing in these parts this year. We then will make our way to Philly, although we may need a ride!
As it turns out, we are skipping this show....vermont, tom petty, and philly will hold us over til T5!
The New Pornographers will be opening for MMJ. Excellent!
http://pitchfork.com/news/39702-the-new-pornographers-announce-dates/
I honestly don't know a thing about the NPs besides the fact that they are from Canada and have been around for a while. What can I expect?
TNP are an indie pop group based out of Vancouver. They're a very good band, although not everyone likes them. The entire band is together for the first time in years, which means Neko Case and Dan Bejar are touring. I've seen TNP I think three, maybe four, times including this June in Montreal.
TNP isn't really like MMJ. Think more like Broken Social Scene (another Canadian indie super-group).
Not sure if anyone knows this or not. But people going to this show are in for a treat. The New Pornographers are opening up for them. What a badass band. Can't believe THEY are opening for MMJ.
Can't wait for Terminal shows!
I just posted the TNP information a few posts above. I agree, they are an excellent band.

If you are unable to sell them, would you be willing to swap tickets? My tickets are in LCE row Q. Thanks.
AT the suggestion of Nothern Neighbour (hey NN we're just up the Valley from you, in Pembroke), I'm going to repost this message here.
Hey all,,,just wondering where everybody's staying in the Canandaigua area? We booked into the Red Carpet Inn, which seems to be one of the closest places to CMAC. It looks decent, fairly modern, etc., yet it gets mostly terrible reviews. One reviewer said that when they arrived, with confirmation in hand, they were told they didn't have a reservation and denied a room. I checked around and every other motel is booked solid, which makes me wonder if this place is legit and we even have a res.
Also wondering as to where anyone arriving in Friday night might be hanging out? Any good bars / restaurants nearby? First time going to CMAC so any feedback would be great. Thanks.
Mickey, my wife and I were originally going to stay at the Red Door Inn, but we have had to cancel, as we will now drive right back to Ottawa after the show. We have an 8:00 flight in the morning to Philly to catch MMJ's next show. We have to do this because 1) we're flying overseas on the 30th and 2) it was a much more cost-effective way to travel. Anyway, you might want to call the Red Door Inn to see if they have a room available. The manager sounded like a great guy and the Inn has very good reviews.

Likely a couple of sleepless nights. :) Our trip is seeing 4 concerts in 4 cities (3 countries) in 12 days. It's quite the trip. Oh, only two of the concerts involve MMJ.
anyone going to the 8/28 Canandaigua, NY show? I'm trying to get some info on the area and the venue. what it's like, the food/beer in and out of the place, etc. i also plan on camping around there, anyone recommend anything?
any info is appreciated. thanks!
anybody know of any good restaurants to hit up while in canadaguia?
Hey Northern Neighbour,,thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, haven't had much chance to be on here over the past couple of weeks, so likely missed snagging a room at the Red Door Inn or whatever it is, and yeah, I read good reviews about it too. Oh well, I'll try it tomorrow. Have a great few days!! Sounds like quite the trip.
i downloaded a new pornographers album and it was really bad....
oh well, ill just get there later now and drink more beers in the parking lot.
Really? Which one?
This is almost a co-headlining show IMO. Y'all are lucky.
I still have two for sale, 5th row center, face. Thanks.
any hunnies tryna hold my hand during the show?
The New Pornographers won't be everyone's cup of tea, but they are a talented group of musicians and one of three indie super groups from Canada (along with Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene). I'm a fan of theirs, and I am looking forward to seeing them. They're not the ideal band to open for MMJ, but fans who are not familiar with TNP will likely enjoy their show.

Ridiculously pissed as I will be 2 1/2 hours away on vaca visiting my folks in upstate. Me and my dad are still considering the drive....
thats not a bad drive at all...go for it
I agree, since I am flying in from Oregon. :)
It will all be up to my pops since I am in town to visit him and the whole fam, but he really wants to see MMJ with me! Now that I am in my 30's, married and with a stable job, he has really opened up to me about his love of rock and roll. *side note: I blew off college to follow the dead way back when, so he never wanted to "encourage" my behavior. But now all bets are off! Crossing fingers we will be there!
Really, now that I think about it, I just have to convince my cousins in Syracuse to go and then my Dad will be all over the adventure! :D
nice, syracuse...thats where im traveling from.
Wizz, where will you be? In Watertown?
My wife and I are making the drive from Ottawa and then driving back that night. Surely you can make it to Canandaigua for the show.
I have one extra ticket if anyone is interested. I'll happily sell under value, just to ensure that the ticket is used.
someone pick me up a green owl shirt? xl please. thanks. 30 bucks or less . if it's more don't buy it . :)
Update?
(http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg135/scaled.php?tn=0&server=135&filename=i7zn.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640)
The show was amazing last night. The total 8-hour-plus drive there and back was well worth it. We were able to snag a setlist tonight as well, and another fan offered us $100 for it, but we declined
"Wonderful!" was great live. A little mellow tune, but much better than "Sec Walkin". I was extremely pleased to hear "I Will Sing You Songs", but was disappointed that "Steam Engine" was left out. Hopefully they'll play SE in Philly.
The "Run Thru" transition between "SFS" and "TMIGTS2" was awesome. It was much better to experience it in person than to see it on YouTube.
Oh, Dillsnufus, sorry mate, I didn't get you a shirt, as I didn't have internet access throughout the day. I'll send you a text message to see if you want me to pick one up for you in Philly, assuming it's still $30.
Now ready to hop on a plane to Philly for tonight's gig.

Yea I know.....nice to see they got 'i will sing you songs' n 'dancefloors'!

Nice site Johnny....Can you still get those on ebay or in any music store? I know Guitar Center could order me one but they were quite expensive.
Amazing show last night! My first of hopefully many MMJ shows. I couldn't believe how few people were there, though. The whole back section of seats was empty. I don't know if there was anyone in the lawn even. There was at least one taper there that I saw.
Oooooo very nice!!! And an I Will Sing You You Songs!!!
Heh I like:

Right on, you only live once!!! I bet you caught some awesome magic times!! What years would you say you followed 'em for?
And did you convince the pops to go last night?!? I hope you guys could rock out together! My mom wanted to go with me to the Pitt show, but I knew I wanted to be in the front....and I knew I wanted to headbang.... and I knew I wanted to stick around afterward to see about meeting everyone. She really loves them though, it's super cool 8-)
Hope ya got to go! :)

I thought it was a pretty good show. Not as good as I expected mostly because of how much hype their is for Live MMJ but yeah, it was good. Only 19 songs, but I don't blame them...there really wasn't a lot of people at the show.
Was it just me or was the sound quality kind of lacking? Couldn't hear some of Jims guitar during key points of OBH and a few other songs. That kind of brought the show quality down for me, but like I said it was still really fuckin great hearing them and watching them rock out...so much energy. Hope somebody taped it.
I'm sure it's a better experience seeing them live at an indoor venue.
I Will Sing You Songs and Off The Record were amazing live
My first MMJ live experience -- and what a show it was! Met some great Jacket fans who we rocked out with the entire show -- thanks to great fans and a great band. No thanks to those assholes who chose to talk through every song.
Got some decent pics and videos which I'll post soon.
Also, if anyone has an extra poster -- PLEASE let me know! I'd be happy to work out a deal!
finally back home! i thought this show was a blast. i was 4th row carl's side and it sounded awesome. jim did so much one-legged hoppity hops across the stage, it was awesome. i couldn't really see behind me very well, but everyone around me was rockin out pretty good. the fat, bald, bearded security guard at the left of the front rail was a total nazi. he kept distracting me from the music with his uber 'by the book' enforcement of silly rules. the setlist was a liiiiiiittle bit disappointing, but i did get to hear my first ever IWSYS so i really can't complain.
can't wait for rocktober :D
QuoteI Will Sing You Songs and Off The Record were amazing live
I'm really glad that they're playing I Will Sing You Songs again. Such a good song.

That's a great vid. Thanks! I love the one leg hop move at 3: 50.
Awesome show! Can't believe how few people were there, but that worked out for us as we made our way from the lawn down into the seats and a great view of the action.
Sadly, I struck out on the poster (forgot to pick it up). Does anyone know if it will be on sale on this website at any point?
