Roll Call: MMJ - Midnight Ramble - 10/16/10

[br00ke]

tiny tiny picture but gives you an idea of the interior .. loft up top for the 'standing room only'. i just had a ton of friends that went this weekend for the anders + stanton moore trio and am loving all the reviews today .. getting so0oo0o jazzed for our turn !!

[oistheone]

Oh man, I can only imagine how amazing that latest Ramble was. Were these written reviews or just "HOLY SHIT" comments? I love reading any piece of Ramble literature I can get my hands on.

[br00ke]

Oistheone ... i PM'ed you :)

ok .. everybody going, obviously we are to hatch a plan of attack. just got the skinny from a friend that went this past weekend and had this to say about getting the best spots (for standing room only) ..

So you've got to try and do what we did and get to the Ramble to be one of the first in the door.
There are a couple of amazing spots upstairs looking down on the room - that are great because you have rail space - and you can stand and dance and you are not forced to sit.  

We'll talk when you get closer to going but you should start explaining to your friends that you want to be pulling in levon's driving around 545pm no later on the day you go in order to have a chance. Everyone on your team needs to be totally into this idea - if they aren't them leave them behind.

Damn this is going to be so cool.
If I could reverse the hands of time, I would have gone to this one instead. I'm so happy for all of you.

Thanks YNWA!  I mean, I can't help but think that my favorite band playing an intimate gig nearby on my birthday is a sign from a higher power.  We'll see!  Let me know if you hear of any leads.

exactly.  i hesitated on buying a ticket for about a minute and then realized that when the stars align like that - you just gotta go with it  ;)

i'll keep my eyes open for ya!

br00ke - thanks for the heads up!  i'm all for making a plan to insure a good spot.  i mean, from the look of that pic & from what others who have done a ramble before say - there isn't a bad spot in the place.  but, no standing isn't really what i'm lookin for  ;D

so - are folks still down w/ meeting up ahead of time for a bite to eat & a beer @ that pizza place?  i'd say maybe by 4 or thereabouts?  i'm horrible @ planning these things so if people think earlier (or later) is better - please speak up.

penny - wouldn't this ramble, liiiike, get you pumped for your marathon?
:-/  i mean...

[br00ke]

i'm definitely down for the pre-show meet up!! per our FB message .. it seems i'm heading up early that morning and will be staying with a friend from college. she's not going to the show but is into dropping me off and picking me up .. so i figured she could drop me at whatever pre-show meet up we do (pizza / pub sounds purrrfect, she'd probably be inclined to hang out too) and perhaps i can ride into the show with one of you guys? hrmm .. and maybe get a ride out too (post-show) and someone can drop me where we had met up earlier so my friend can pick me up?

something i just realized RE: my other friend with the plan on how to get the best seats. i believe they are talking about seat seats .. and we all have standing room only right? i will definitely ask her about that. at any rate, i am super into the plan of getting in as soon as we are allowed.

and aside from MMJ + Midnight Ramble excitement .. i'm excited to see you folks too !!!  :)

[br00ke]

a southern girl .. i *love* BBQ so i'd be down. is that place in woodstock/close though? for some reason i feel like you said it was more en route than in woodstock?

o0oh and if we happened to pick a pre-show spot that had college football on .. i'd be over the moon  ;) there are some key games on that day!

[ynwa]

i didn't check the map for the BBQ place, it's not IN woodstock, but is possibly on the way.  so that is a definite possibility.  the college football may be a good tie-break solution. i don't follow it but i do like to watch

got the FB mssg - and yeah, you can def ride into & back out of levon's w/ me.  and please do encourage your friend to join us for the pre-show meetup.  the more the merrier!  ooooh, if there's no college football access but there IS a jukebox, maybe we can recruit a new mmj fanatic  ;)

i haven't seen anything about extras for this show as of yet.  but since there are no "hard" tix (purchaser's name is added to a master list & has to present ID @ the venue), i think that sways odds in favor of extras being posted here.  just keep checking - maybe somethng will turn up.  best of luck!  

[alexzbik]

I might know somebody with an extra but I think they are looking to trade it for 2 Phish Halloween tix.

Interesting swap. Fair trade in a few different ways. Both pretty special shows. hard tix to get, and pretty equal as far as $.

One I'd do if I was on the either end.

Gotta love forums like this one!! 8-)

I want to hang, sheeit.

make it happen.  and then you might as well just stay the whole following week too.  seriously, for someone so dedicated to this band - it just ain't right to miss all the goodness.
