that in-store was some sweet-ass shit, all I could do is just stand there and listen. they had these posters there for jj to sign, with mirrorimaged albino alligators on it ---------- "..they outta outlaw airconditionin' in clubs, let mothafuckas sweat aaaall night looong .."
As for the in-store there dirtcracker, I think that's right but I dunno for sure cause we got there during Sun is Shining. I can assure you that was the last song (Traffic, got lost, I took down shitty directions...fun stuff like that.) Special shout-out to Park Ave CDs for having JJ; nice indy store with lots of stuff. (Please take down the old address from your website!)
OH! And JJ's keyboard was back. Maybe it was out being tuned? :) Maybe it was just making a special appearance?

*With our local boy Chris Bell(!) kicking ass on harp. ***JJ sits down at the piano, as JohnDude right behind me is doing what sounded like some ancient chant: "...Brighter Days, letitbebrighterdays, ithastobebrighterdays..." JJ hits the keys and nothing happens. He looks back at the soundboard with a curious 'whassup?' look and then just shrugged it off and Danny ran up with his guitar. JJ improvised just that quick and gave us a one of the best Brighter Days you'll hear.
LARGE crowd there...awesome! I got pics cause Danny hooked me up with a photo pass (they wand you and shit and charge $2 to check your camera if you're carrying.) HOB only lets you behind the barrier for the first 3 songs--sucks--but there were no other photographers there for the show. Just me and my little nifty pocket camera. This is when I wish I had real photo equip and knew how to use it. Pics'll be up next week.
Tapers galore...thanks Frank, John, Eric, Scott, who also video taped the show. Dig it!

You beat me to the punch...I'm tracking the show now & putting together the setlist!
Damn good time up front with the usual suspects. Singing, dancing, jumping...and gettin' all up in the face of Cowboy Mouth's sound man! HAHAHAHA!! If you mess with one of us, you get the whole family!
Damn I love you folks.
TALLY HO!!! ---------- "throwin' pennies on the tracks and playin' in the rain...oblivious of the world around us that was going insane"
Wow!! What a great review from the Sentinel. Thanks for the heads up on the HOB. I'd better call today to see what their camera/taping policy is in NOLA. Can't wait to see your exclusive pics, Clay! It sounds like y'all had a blast. Sorry you missed most of the in-store. I guess that was taped too? Thanks to all you tapers and video-ers!
Just clearing the fog enough to report back, had a BLAST at HOB with aaaaaall o' yall, and Im gonna go down the line here, lets see, Dude, Liz, Beau, Frank, Ute, Clay, Jen, Eric, Sue, Giggles (great to meet you! Thanks again for spottin me a 20 on the hat!) and anyone else I can't remember at the moment... As you can see mofrofans.com was WELL represented. GREAT show in the land of Mickey Mouse, Golf Courses & Country Clubs... Dang ole Skyscrapers and amusement parks man, tell you what. Thanks to Danny for getting us cleared to tape in the House of Rules, even if we did bout have to take out the Cowboy Mouth soundguy...
Big thanks again to John Dude & Liz for the hospitality and letting us rage it laaaate into the night playin ipod jukebox @ Casa De Dude.
Had such a great time over the last few weeks meeting and getting down with ALL of you, can't wait to do it all again. Now for some serious Mofro withdrawals.
Ya'll keep yer eyes peeled for some new archive downloads, I got some more coming your way.

Dougloosa and son had a great time at the show as usual. Clay you are getting harder and harder to recognize with all your hats and facial hair, but you found me so that was easier, too bad you got lost in the big O'Town and missed the early show.We forgot to throw one down, I guess we was havin too much fun. got to see Scott he recognized me,so I told him who I am on the site. Also saw a taper buddy of mine that has been around for quite a while, he was on the other side from Scott. I had emailed the Sentinel Music Critic after I saw his article on JJ Friday and told him how the band had changed etc gotten better,tighter etc. since he saw them,. I also told him I would write a review for him if he was not going- but he said he was coming, and he wrote a great review.. Could not have done better myself, anyway good to see all ya'll till the next time.
Heck of a time down at the HOB. Security was nuts, the new HOB opens in Boston next month, hopefully Security wont be as bad. It was packed in that place. Great show, JJ was pretty fired up. Couldnt really get good positioning on the floor by the stage. Definitely a good time down in FL. ---------- and thats how junior got his head put out
Sorry I missed you there Junior. Wish we'd have hooked up and shook hands. Man it was packed for sure. But it could've even held more! Danny told me the next day that there was about 1,500 there and they hold a little over 2,000.
I believe it was scott's mike stand I caught when the dude walked right into it. Scott, did the catch do justice? ---------- "Herb, herb is a plant, I mean herbs are good for everything... they say it make you rebel, against what."- RNM
Thanks Scott. It helps a lot to have great stage lighting. And to take a ton of pics. I threw out twice as many cause they were out of focus, bad composition, etc. If I had a real camera and actually knew what I was doing I could really do some good stuff! But between me with a camera and you guys taping, we've got all the angles covered!!
