Columbus Roll Call.......

[twofingers]

Nice nice, another Pittsburgher makin' the trek! I sincerely, sincerely hope there will be at least someone taping. Would definitely pay for a copy & buy 'em some drinks to boot!

Does anyone know Promowest's videocam policy?? I'm considering taking my mom's semi-clunky vidcam to tape some memories to have and to hold!

The Dude, are you headin to the show pretty early Sunday? I'll be headin up as early as I can get myself movin... do you know anyone else from Pitt that's headin to the show? We should have a Pittsburgh mmj meetup or some-such.

Wonder if any of the Columbus head shops are open on Sunday... always a joy to check those out with Pitt being so anal about 'em.

5 days, 6 hours, 30 minutesssss!!!!  :D

No one pay for bootlegs!!!!

Now buying beers for tapers, I agree and will gladly do the same!!

[woodnymph]

AHA! So you're the Steam Engine blogger!!! Maaaaaajor props to you sir! That's an awesome thing you're doin with that site. Yeah I'm definitely down to buy someone some drinks if they're tapin. Thought a little extra cash might help persuade someone to get on some recordin..

Just keepin my fingers & eyes crossed  [smiley=wink.gif]

[twofingers]

Haha, I am, and thanks, that means a lot.

And I get that! If free booze will bring that Taylor Caine fellow to Ohio, I'll gladly contribute!

Hey Guys, I'm giving away 1 ticket for the Columbus show at The Steam Engine, if you know anyone looking for a ticket send them over there.

I know it's short notice but since it's not sold out I'd rather do this then try to sell it.

I'm also driving from Pittsburgh with my girlfriend, brother, and 3 other friends.

The forecast for sunday is stormy with 70% chance of rain... i know it's an outdoor venue, so does anyone know if the band is playing all these shows rain or shine? or storm or shine?

also while i'm at it, it appears unlikely i can make it by 2pm, but any of the other pittsburghers plan on watching the pens game in columbus? last time i was there to see MMJ there was a pizza place/sports bar across the street from the arena. anybody plan on watching the game there?

We are staying in a hotel saturday and going to the show sunday. Im sure going to get there early for the show. I've never been here and the pictures online are showing it to be a nice small outside place. Maybe i'll see you there in line. Not sure what we are going to do.

Does anyone know if this place is smoke friendly??

woodnymph, did you see mmj in pittsburgh in 03 and 04 by chance?

For some reason above and beyond my control, I was not graced with knowing them yet.... I've since downloaded the '04 one but did not even know they were here in '03 MAN what was I doing.. And a Jim, M. Ward, and Conor show at Laga in '04 I now see too, now that I'm lame and had to READ about the shows instead! Are the '03 one and the Laga one floatin' around anywhere to download?? Were you there???? Did you bear witness!!!  :o

As for the venue in OH, I've actually only been to the 'indoor' side... I've never gotten to check the pavillion out! It's about time, I've been there more than some spots in Pitt! But I'm not certain at all about their weather situation OR their smoke-friendliness levels outside either.... I feel like they've been pretty chill about it in the inside building though (considering it's non-smoking indoors), so I'd like to see that demeanor stay consistent between the venues!

Let me know about those Pitt shows!

Also, mdc24, I follow sports about as well as I follow politics (which we'll just say is poorly) so I will not be gamin' it, but I wish I knew there would be a game that day, as I might've been able to use that as bait to entice some of my friends to come with me! They're a tough sell, trying to get them into MMJ... keep burning them stuff to listen to, but their moments-of-understanding haven't clicked yet for some reason  :-/

I feel like I've written an absurd amount, sorry all!  I'm also not sure if any of it was useful, but with..... 2 DAYS, 16 HOURS, 28 MINUTES, AND SOME ODD SECONDS UNTIL THE SHOW, I AM MORE RILED UP THAN EVER!!!  :o

[twofingers]

I agree with woodnymph's last paragraph. I'm literally wide awake right now, all I can think about is Columbus. I don't think I'll feel easy until I leave Chicago on Saturday.

[TEO]

Starting to seem a little surrealistic...we gotta send some good weather vibes to Da'Ville and Columbus this weekend. :)

[Im The Dude]

woodnymph, the two pittsburgh shows I've seen were on 2003 MMJ opened for Foo Fighters. Which was an odd match up. The played songs like One Big Holiday and a few from "At Dawn" Still to this day i can't find a recording of that show, but they rocked hard cause everyone wanted to see the Foo Fighters, which that night were "okay". I was a new MMJ fan at that time and no one I knew, knew MMJ. I then saw them at Mr Smalls a year later in june 04. Great show, got Jim's set list!! that live boot is really awesome I was right in front of Jim and it was so chill there, great show.

I did not get to see the Jim M Ward and Conar show. I really wish i did, but I wasnt able to go. I heard it was amazing. The last time I saw MMJ was the Detroit show in 08. Anyone go to that? Great version of "run thru"

I can not wait till tomorrow....hello Ohio!! 8-)

[twofingers]

So are we going to get a downpour to the likes of Bonnaroo '04 and '08? Part of me wants the weather to cooperate but the other part wants it to downpour, epic-ness seems to really come out of these guys in those situations. God, I need to get off this board until Columbus, I can't get any work done.

i was at the detroit show in 08 great show. can't wait for sunday's show hopefully no rain. although i agree Bonnaroo in 04 was awesome with the rain.

I was thinking that too.  But coming off all the Derby parties in Louisville, and having been to the Bonaroo '04 and '08 sets, this time as a listener/viewer I would like to have a peaceful, relaxing hot and sunny outdoor Jacket concert.  Epic is one thing, but comfort will be important on this one.  

On the other hand, it does look like it will pour from the heavens, and maybe that kind of cleansing will be good for the detox my soul needs, so...evs.

I've only taken in outdoor shows here from the lawn, and from my experience, I would not say security is smoke friendly at all.  If you're careful, you should be fine (i.e don't go flaunting that shit).  The last time MMJ played here, I saw security round up several folks who had just blazed up.  It got a little better as the show wore on, but they cased the lawn pretty good throughout the night.  Again, be careful and use a spotter!

So...are we meeting up beforehand?!  Where at?  Let's get something organized.  I don't really have any suggestions, not knowing the city and all.  A few people mentioned Ted's...any thoughts?  Otherwise, a meeting area at the venue?  Exchange of phone #'s (via PM of course)?  I'm only coming with one other person (a noob), so it would be nice to meet up with a group!

OHHHHHHHH MANNNNNNNN it just gits worse n worse, the suspense!! You're right though, as soon as I'm on the road come Sunday, I might catch a breath!!  :D

I'm down to meet up with you wonderful forum folks for sure! I'm familiar with Columbus but not the best at navigating it, and I don't know much outside of the Arena District and High St... I'd say probably a good idea would be a general venue meeting area, 'cept I've only been indoors and don't fully know where the outside area is, as far as getting in line, etc..... anyone else ideas???

[twofingers]

This venue seems very unique with the indoor/outdoor setup, f*ck I can't wait!!!!!

Hoppin' on a plane in a few hours, I want to be sleeping but honestly can't, haha.

And as far as meeting up, I'd love to meet some swell folks from the MMJ forum so count me in on some cocktails.

[Im The Dude]

I hope the rain holds up for the show,  but that's wishful thinking.

I hope they play Steam Engine or phone went west.

[poohbaah]

I always have loved phone went west.
