St. Augustine Roll Call

Haldon · Feb 01, 2010, 02:01 PM

While I can't say I understand/like the middle of the week date in St. Augustine (why not Tampa, St. Pete, Orlando, Miami?) I refuse to look a gift horse in the mouth. MMJ playing anywhere near me is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned. I'll be taking off work for tuesday and wednesday and driving up from Miami.

The girlfriend says she can't get off of work, which means that I'll most likely be heading up solo. Just curious to see who else is gonna be there, and to see if anyone's got suggestions for places to stay up in that area (not too familiar with St. Augustine).

Also if anyone's down for drinks pre or post concert, I'm down as well.

super pumped,

Haldon

One thing I just noticed as I was checking out the venue's website.

It says the show starts at 8pm. I then went to the FAQs page and saw this
What time do shows end?
The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is mandated in its lease from the State of Florida to end all entertainment by 10:30 PM.

2 1/2 hours for an opening act and headliner??? That doesn't seem like a lot of performance time.

Yep yep going to be my first time seeing MMJ and not only is it my first time seeing them its going to be at the best venue ever..It doesnt get any better than the St. Augustine Amphitheatre !!! I saw Kings of Leon there a while back.

I have been addicted to MMJ since I saw their Okonokos DVD 3 years ago. Going to be camping next door at the State park. Ahh... Can you tell Im stoked?

I am heading up from Fort Myers. Good news though, according to this link, the show will start at 7 PM.

I feel the same way about the show in St Augustine, I was hoping for Tampa. Oh well what's another 2 hours to drive.

I may hit this show up on the way back from Jazz Fest, trying to figure out flight changes, etc. I'd be traveling solo as well and would love to catch up with fellow Jacketboarders!

Haldon · Feb 02, 2010, 11:41 AM

7pm would be muuuuuuuuuuuch better. Anything less than 2 hours of MMJ is just not enough.

so pumped

seems like a long time since i've bought a ticket for mmj.

tibojoe · Feb 03, 2010, 08:53 PM

i missed the tickets for the pit , but i got tickets in section 102 row d,
and i'm very happy about that. :D

ericm · Feb 03, 2010, 10:38 PM

Pumped for this show!

Not sure these old bones could handle any more pits, so went for 100's. sect 102 row A, woohoo!

St Auggie is one of my favorite towns. Lots of good eats and drink at the beach or downtown. I'm partial to the beach... Sunset Grille, Dunes, and Panama Hatties, here I come. 8-)

Looks like tickets here are going slooooow. You can get pit still and worse case scenario 4th row in the first section. I think Florida is filled with morons :-X. I went to the Miami show, and same thing, only the Pit and half of the lower section was filled.

If you are from the North, I would highly recommend going to St Augustine. Hotels are cheap and tickets are readily available.
