ah! you're making it FireFly? killer. a sign should be easy to find. much bigger than a button, no offense Mo.
speaking of which, i should probably be getting ready since i gotta bounce outta here around 3.

I think Mr. Stanley is in a bad mood. What do y'all think? Well this isn't talking, this is typing. Isn't this typing?? Yeah, I'm not talking, honest.
Sorry about your Rays. I could say there's always next year, but you'd slug me. I could say that hey, worst to first and to the Series man...what a year, but you'd bitch-slap me. So I'll just shut up (or quit typing or ...)

No, it's all good. You are so, so right my friend. Worst to first and allowing me to attend a World Series game in my hometown is something so special that I'll never, ever forget it. We'll be a force for years to come.
Congrats Philly...at least the Yankees/Red Sox didn't win.

estanely1, I am sorry you are so blue by the loss of the Rays, truly I am...... but HAWT DAMN we finally have a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP team here in Philadelphia! I just walked in the door after celebrating in the streets of Philly. The mayhem and euphoria was a contagion that instantly infiltrated the body and reduced grown men to lose their legs and weep with joy, it was quite a sight to behold and a truly magical moment to be apart of! So winning the World Series has curbed the green beast of jealousy that was lurking inside me all day, envious of those going to tonight's show! I hope everyone at the show had as much fun as I did tonight.......and I had A LOT OF FUN:-)

damn good show. HCR rocked my face. can't wait to see them again tomorrow in Charlotte. i ended up finding FireFly as soon as Mofro took the stage. fate would have it she was standing in front of me. Mo, Firefly found her after the show at the merch booth. too bad she wasn't with us for the show. thats all i'm saying :-p
glad i made it back home safe. i think we passed 3 cars the entire trip back here. thats kinda scary.

Hey dirtcraker: Great hearing from you during the show last night. Glad you found Firefly. Too funny she was in front of you.
Funny too...I looked at the setlist you sent and thought 'didn't he say in an earlier message they played Jookhouse?' But then I thought maybe it was me and I had gone one toke over the line (sweet Jesus).
Thanks again for the setlist and show update. Have fun tonight...green with envy here!

Greetings Luved Ones! Well, what can I say about Richmond? That night was one for the record books. I had to haul some serious azz to get down there for the show. And wouldn’t ya know it, I still showed up late. I got there during By My Side, so I was happy to be there, yet bummed that I missed the first three songs (Why Lord? Why did I have to miss Orange Blossoms?).
Every time I go to a MOFRO show, I feel like I’m at a family reunion. I saw Chris by the soundboard first and what a joy it was to get a big ol hug from him! Chris has got a great smile, all welcoming and warm. And I needed that after travelin that hideous I-95.
I decided to make it a Crown Royal nite, so I guess you could say that I had on my brown liquor tiara 8-) The entire show was just one big party to me. I found myself sayin ‘I love this band’, ‘This my band’, over and over cuz it just felt so good to be there with everyone.
I brought a newbie with me and it’s official, my friend Big L is now a MOFRO Fan 8-) I can’t tell you how many times since the show I’ve heard this outta Big L’s mouth - ‘JJ’s got SOUL!’. It’s great fun turnin new folks on to MOFRO. Now Big L’s tellin everyone about MOFRO…yes indeed!!! 8-)
I continue to be amazed at how a MOFRO show can elevate my spirit. I don’t think I’ve smiled this much in a good long while. Everyone in the band sounded excellent to me and I really enjoyed dancin my rear end off! I had to laugh when Anthony caught me gettin low with it 8-) I was the drop queen up in there, tiara and all.
I met Firefly and dirtcracker at the Merch table. Two very friendly folks. I just luv meetin new people! I also picked up a copy of Orange Blossoms for everybody to sign and I’m pretty positive I got everyone, Chris and Danny included, to ink it for me 8-) And let me say that I LUV my new pink MOFRO shirt! It’s definitely my favorite MOFRO shirt of all time. Whoever came up with that one did a great job!
My stories are from events after the show. Me and Big L were the last ones to leave the club and as we’re walkin to the car, I see these girls with hardly anything on standin on the sidewalk. One of em got her bare naked azz completely showing and I was like Damn, don’t see that everyday 8-) Apparently there was a strip club down the street and the staff was leaving for the nite. I’m still not sure why she had her azz all exposed like that, but hey, who am I to refuse a free look-see 8-) Didn’t think I’d be seein naked azz down in Richmond, what a surprise!
So after we leave the peep show, I put in Orange Blossoms for the car ride home and we’re blastin those sweet azz tunes up I-95. Just after crossin the Richmond city line, wouldn’t ya know – Flashin Lights 8-O Can you say Buzz Kill?!?! Shit, I don’t know what it is bout the month of October, but crazy shit always seems to happen to me durin this month. Anyways, Big L is drivin (thank God, cuz I still had a tiara on) and Everythin Bad is crankin on the car stereo. Big L pulls over and goes ‘You gotta turn that song off.’, so I did and we were pulled over on I-95 for like 40 minutes at 2 in the morning 8-( The only damage was a big FAT VA speeding ticket, so looking on the bright side, it coulda been a lot worse. But now every time I hear Everything Good is Bad song, I think flashing blue lights in the rearview…Seems like Everything MOFRO is Good and Everything VA State Trooper is Bad…crazy!
Big THANKS to the MOFRO fam!!! It makes me so happy to be one of your crazy VA cousins 8-) Big LUV always and forever from the heart. Keep on doin what ya do, bringin much Joy and Luv to sooooo many. Thank Heaven for MOFRO <3
Peace and Luv,
8-)

Mo, sorry to hear you got pulled over. what a bummer.
I was all kinds of paranoid , I couldn't find the ramp to get onto the highway in richmond, I circled like 5 times around the canal club, than I went down a wrong way street and a car that looked like a cop honked at me, luckely it was just a building security officer. than there was absolutey nobody on the road down to NC. freaky !
tell your boy L that i said Hi. he was def. very impressed with the show.I was talking to him at the end of the show with jj.
