I met up with several MMJ Superfans, some who are Forum members but not very active these days (I may try to remember their usernames and post them later), some who are big on the other social media sites, including the moderator for the new One Big Family Discord thing, and some I've recently met up in Louisville who are fans of all the good music and musicians in and around the area. I had a really good time. It was Healing in more ways than one. ... More descriptions about the show and the happenings there later.

MMJ Superfans on the Rail before the Unblown Balloon show: Pineapple's partner and Pineaple (Kyle H.), Ricki Cate (Alex's wife), AlexD10 (Alex D.), me (John H.), Jeff C. (Clarkwork), and Christie C. (Jeff's wife)
(I was only there for a minute because I was at the back of the venue on an elevated ramp next to the soundboard area and up against the back brick wall, so I could capture the audio and video without being in anyone's way or having my view obstructed.)

I'm going to upload a full show video of the thing, once I get off work today and have some time to piece it together and create it on Nero and upload it to YouTube ... it might be later on in the weekend or Monday.

In the meantime, I've uploaded the audio (WAV file) to my MEGA account where you can either listen to it from there or download the audio and listen to it whenever you want. All I ask is that you don't share it on other formats or upload it to the Interweb yourself. I want to make the full show video first and share it before sending out the audio to be put on Internet Archives or shared to the MMJ Facebook Fan Club or anywhere else. I'll allow it to be shared soon though.

So good to see you last night Mr White! That show blew any expectations I had out of the water.

had to work at 5am saturday morning :cry: , so i wouldn't have gone anyway, but i can't help but wonder how one achieves the designation of "MMJ Superfan" and advance knowledge/access to a show like this.   being out of the loop is kinda frustrating.

thanks for posting the show, mr. white!

It was posted on Instagram by all three bands and the venue a few weeks in advance. Jim even promoted it on his personal and the official MMJ instagram accounts. There was even some discussion on discord about it in the week leading up to it. I was pretty surprised that it didn't sell out.

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't start this thread earlier. I was undecided about this show until I purchased and listened to their album on Bandcamp. I had originally planned on going to a different fundraiser for the Cowen Creek Music School in Eastern Kentucky that featured several of my favorite musicians from in and around Louisville on the same night, but I changed my mind. I had mentioned all of this in the Upcoming Shows thread and didn't think about starting a Roll Call thread until I was actually in the venue on the day of the show. I had gotten a text message from a Forum member and friend about two weeks before the show ... and was still undecided for another week. I also got e-mail notifications and links from MMJ and Instagram. I just figured most people already knew about this show. Sorry, slappymoe. I should have done better. I'm always grateful for a heads up on stuff like this and even sent the link to a couple of people in my text messages.

As far as the "Super Fans" label goes, I just chose that because during the short time I was on Facebook in their fan club and the One Big Family fan page (I was only on Facebook between 2016 to 2017 when this all mighty Forum had gone down for a couple of months at the beginning of this timeframe), and that term got thrown around a lot, and they even created a meme with a cartoon picture of a Transformer that said something like, "MMJ Super Fans Assemble!"
