A T L Roll Call (biatches)

Nikkogino · Jan 29, 2010, 05:33 PM

I'll bring about 90 people with me. Who else?

ALady · Jan 29, 2010, 05:58 PM

I'm hoping to make it.

"HOTLANTAAAAA"

johnnYYac · Jan 30, 2010, 10:21 AM

ATL is one of three possible stops on this tour I can make. Any ideas on nearby hotels? Maybe I'll do Nashville and Atlanta. I'd love to meet some fellow MMJ heads from the forum.

Only a 4 hour drive between them. I could rent a car and offer space to folks going from Nashville to Kentucky, er, I mean Atlanta.

Fuck, I am psyched. Can anyone convince me to do B'ham and N'ville instead? Hell, maybe I'll just have to do all 3!

Nikkogino · Jan 30, 2010, 11:25 AM

Do all 3....you only live once.

aMillionDreams · Jan 30, 2010, 11:28 AM

wow! Peeps are really chomping at the bit for some live MMJ! Usually roll call threads are started a week or two before the show. We almost already have a roll call thread for every date announced so far. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Yeah, I agree. This will be MMJ show # 5 for me so I'm pretty stoked.

Don Dante · Jan 31, 2010, 09:07 AM

Count me down for my hometown! Now, to figure out how to get to the rest of 'em.

Anu · Jan 31, 2010, 02:04 PM

So thrilled! Where do we get our presale codes for Wednesday?

mlbrady89 · Jan 31, 2010, 06:50 PM

You are gonna love it! One of the best places to see a show in Atlanta, especially if it doesn't rain. But I saw Wilco there once in the pouring rain, and they rocked extra hard through it a la MMJ at Bonnaroo.

Anyhow, it is obviously outdoors, and it holds just under 7000. But that always seemed high to me, as it feels more like 4000 and is very intimate for a larger venue. Cool beer and wine vendors, in a gorgeous area basically in the middle of a park. It's about one-third general admission standing on the "floor", then about 1000 in seats around that maybe, and then the rest is a nice lawn in the back. The sound could be better, but it's not as bad as a smaller club like the Tabernacle and better than many amphitheaters. If the mix is right, it'll sound damn good either way.

Quoting myself. Like a good showerhead and my right hand. :D

I AM IN FOR ATLANTA! I'VE GOT HOTEL 2.6 MILES FROM CHASTAIN PARK AND NEED TO CATCH A FLIGHT THE NEXT DAY FROM RALEIGH. AND THIS WILL BE MY THIRD SHOW IN A WEEK!

Sorry, I just fainted.

I will be traveling from B'ham to N'ville to Atlanta, with hotel at each spot (2 nights in N'ville) within walking distance of the venues. I'll probably rent a car unless someone can offer me a ride.

I'd offer a bed in B'ham and N'ville (rooms have 2 double beds, except in Atlanta), but understand we're all strangers except for our love of MMJ. Also, my wife says I snore something fierce. Now, I just need my tickets to the shows!

AJ Green · Feb 01, 2010, 02:48 PM

Knowshon and I will be there.

edbcu · Feb 01, 2010, 02:52 PM

i'll be heading that way from clemson. CANT WAIT

osoZ · Feb 02, 2010, 08:34 PM

I saw Ben Harper at Chastain some years back and I loved the area and the venue. Whenever I saw MMJ was there I knew I was gonna make the 6 hour drive once again.

Nikkogino · Feb 02, 2010, 09:24 PM

I wonder how much tickets cost.

johnnYYac · Feb 02, 2010, 10:24 PM

From Ticketmaster website: http://www.ticketmaster.com/My-Morning-Jacket-tickets/artist/841284

jarlaxle · Feb 03, 2010, 10:14 AM

Got my tix.

Orchestra row D, Seats 95 and 97. Not sure if these are on the side or center but they are close enough that it shouldn't matter too much.

Good stuff!

BTW I signed on right as the sale went live and all the pit tix were already sold out... WOW.

Jon T. · Feb 03, 2010, 10:16 AM

Me too!

Got two tix in orchestra. I had row B but gave them up hoping to get better. Ended up with E. So does that mean the pit is sold out or are they still holding them? Anyone know? I'm going to try again Friday and hope that I can sell the two I just bought.
