New and loving these shows!

[lil sis]

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say a quick hello!  A few of you have already met me.  I'm ynwa's little sis!  I had the pleasure of attending my first MMJ concert at Merriweather in May.  I was given a copy of the Okonokos set before the concert that I listened to here and there.  There were a few songs that I really dug but I wasn't necessarily "blown away"—but def curious.  Experiencing that concert gave me a completely different opinion.  I was in awe.  I remember saying to my sister at one point in the night, "I feel like I believe everything that he's saying", or something along those lines.  Needless to say, many songs resonated with me that night and I've been hooked ever since.  I went to the show up in Vermont this past weekend (that's right...I committed to a 6 hour drive for this!) and it was a completely different experience now that I feel a connection to the music.  They were unfuckingbelievable!  I had one of the best weekends ever with my sis and some other great peeps from the forum.  Now I'm ready for round 3 tonight for the boys opening up for Tom Petty at the IZOD...and then again in NYC for Terminal 5 for Z and possibly Evil Urges!  Now I wish I could go to all 5 nights but, alas, work will be pretty crazy then.  I just feel lucky that I get be a part of it.  :)

I'm posting some pics and videos in tdb's pic thread from VT.  Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum...it's always nice to hear about how MMJ can grab a hold of a new fan. Remember, if it rains tonight the Jacket will always keep you warm and cozy.
