San Francisco Shows *NOTE FROM THE BAND*

[CC]

here's a message from the band...

"hello all you nice people coming to our san-fran filmore shows. we wanted to let you know that we are going to be filming the shows for a film-but we want to try and make it a special "fantasty"(ooohhh....)  film that is more like a movie than an ordinary concert film. we want to encourage attendees to dress up in costumes (preferably "faeries and wizzards and goblins") or olde timey victorian ballroom dancing attire-big frilly skirts and top hats and tuxedos and such. we also encourage that you bring glo-sticks, flowers, magic wands or any other interesting objects that may look cool on film and glow. if you have a pumpkin and two mice that you can turn into a stagecoach drawn by horses you should ride to the show in that and our monkey butler will help you out and into the club. we want to get fun footage of people arriving and also crowd shots where it looks like it was filmed in a fantasy forest in the early 1900's. so yes- think "olde-tymey fantasy forest- or just dressy if you dont have any costumes or skrilla to spend on costumes. please spread this message to anyone you know that may be attending... and come have a grand time with us out in the forest."

-your pals, mmj.

lucky san franciscans.

that's going to be two amazing nights

and a DVD FINALLY!

Yeah, I keep thinking about what a brilliant backdrop that will be for Into the Woodzz.

I wonder if they'll have pumpkins.  I should send them my magic wand...  I wonder if I still have it...

[tomEisenbraun]

oh man, i can't wait to see if the free crack plays into this!

[ycartrob]

sounds more like a 'shroom event than a crack event...

[whothrewthecake]

this sounds amazing.

[Dee.]

Yes. it. does.

;D

[Elizanne33]

I am so excited, this is going to be great! Will there be blacklights to aid the interesting items that glow?

[mercurylines]

now all i need is an excuse to travel 2500 miles.

[primushead]

Oh if only they would've recorded 2500 miles east of there.  Oh well.  The DVD is good enough for now.

[Nikkogino]

Awesome, I hope it is a mixture of documentary and concert footage.  This is going to be sa-weet.  Too bad it is in cali.

[realdeal]

so, is this DVD going to be exclusively MMJ or something just featuring them and others?

[pgblues]

OH MAN this is so great. It's gonna be so awesome. This is one of the times i am actually happier to be in California than in New York. I can't wait. I need to figure out what i'm gonna wear. This is gonna be some movie...

The Fillmore will hold yet another legendary performance.

 :( the beauty of a band like mmj is getting lost in the songwriting, the undeniable musical performances, the energy of a live show where the members are connected with themselves, and their music. the fact that mmj does not fit any particular genre makes them even more of an empty canvas, allowed to be filled by the imagination of the listener, giving us all a great opportunity to interpret the songs in our own unique way. my imagination does not fill in the blanks with fairies and goblins. theatrics, in my opinion, can only dillute the power of great music. but i will be there for both shows nonetheless. PLEASE make the fillmore proud and do completely different setlists each night, and please bring back dancefloors. thanks
