Hey Gang,
Iknow that on their site they show the stops/shows, but good God, how many miles have these guys busted hump over this past year, or atleast, since last September(when we first saw them)for it seems as if they have been quite the traveling fools, bouncing all over the nation just so that we can get in the groove, and move ! Still curious as to how far any of you have traveled just to see these guys play ?

I've been fortunate in the fact that the band has played fairly close to me wherever I've lived since I started seeing them back in '02. I first saw them in Nawlins during Jazz Fest which was only 2 hours from where I lived at the time. Then I moved to Athens, Ga shortly after Fest where they played at the Georgia Theatre and several shows at Jakes, Smith's and Music Midtown which was only about 45 minutes away in Hotlanta. Now I live in South Florida and they play just down the road, not to mention all over the state. So, I haven't had to travel far to see them.....good for me as I am married and have kids which kind of makes it difficult to travel all around the country to see them....but I did get my share of that back in the day with the Grateful Dead.....now if you wanna talk traveling around with that band.......

2,500 miles. Jan. ‘09
San Diego, Ca to Tampa Florida for 2 nights at Skippers…
Didn’t know anyone from the Mofro Board Brigade- except for our Grand Po-Ba of mofrofans.com- Clay- who was giving me info to book our trip.
My husband didn’t even really know I posted on a message board (that was interesting explaining it to him how I was having “some man on the internet” help me book our trip)
Got to the first show and was greeted with open arms by all the crew…great 2 nights at Skippers.
One of our best trips ever…
SW- I hear you on miles logged…I traveled to Europe and all over this country following TBC….Traveling for music is one of the greatest things to do…you see different places, cultures, meet cool peeps etc and at the end of the day you get kick ass live shows…what could be better!

When this thread started, I knew Kim and Joe were gonna be the heavy hitters. Those were certainly 2 special nights at the SkipperDome.

That was indeed a great time had by all! And it wasn't like Joe and Kim came here cause they also have relatives, or to then drive to the Keys or Disney or Sanibel or St. Augustine or anything else. Nope. They got on a plane in San Diego, flew to Tampa, saw Mofro 2 nites in a row at Skipper's Smokehouse, and flew back to San Diego. That's hard core y'all.

After Liz & I make our journey to Outside Lands(San Francisco) in August, we'll have logged quite a few miles :p

Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,

There are worse places to be stuck.

If I got stuck in Amsterdam would they let me stay? (Do they have summer there? Florida native y'know.)
