I'm going to try and find a wizards cape/with the hat attached in the stores in Ottawa for Dale. I'll get him a big long white hair wig and a Staff maybe.
I'm stumped as to what to wear! I'm thinking angel, but then again, I want to be able to move and not get the audience behind me PISSY! hey, if there was an angel in front of me with wings I couldn't see through, I'd be kinda grumpy!

I was wondering about a theme for this and some people on the MMJ forum said that the theme is Oregon Trail Meets the Donner Party Part II as this was the theme of a previous MMJ New Years Show. Anybody heard anything on this?

Yeah, it was in RS a couple (?) months back--said they'd be doing a continuation of their last NYE show which was that theme.
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
Yeah thats what we heard also. I'm actually stumped! When I come up with an idea, I get another in mind and I just can't decide. I want to wear wings but I really don't want to hamper anyone elses vision and man thats a tough set of wings to get through a thick crowd on NYE!!
I was thinking a long psychaedelic wig like in the girly fashion thread!
My Morning Jacket's fearless leader, Jim James, has finally reappeared. MMJ fans and casual followers alike will recall that Mr. James took a pretty nasty spill off of the edge of a stage in the beginning of October in Iowa City. He was reported to be decently banged up, but the nature and extent of the injuries was anyone's guess, outside of the band.
Little was said about the front man's state in recent times, but much to the delight of the faithful, James surfaced last Friday during a John Prine show at the Louisville Palace. He played onstage for a quick jam on the Prine goodie "Paradise" and the performance went off injury-free. According to insiders, however, James is far from reaching one hundred percent health just yet.
The lingering hope is that he will be one hundred percent come December 31st, when MMJ will be playing Madison Square Garden in an effort to ring in the New Year with some reverberating-alternative-country-jammy goodness. No delays are present so the outlook for the gig looks promising. Here's to hoping Mr. James can pry himself off of the couch he's probably sitting on right now and return to rock New York just in time for 2009.
I just recieved this in my e-mail box. It is a message from "Yim Yames":
hello friends and fans of mmj. i would just like to personally thank each and every one of you who have sent kind words or well wishes my way since i had my accident a few weeks back. it has been one of the hardest and strangest times of my life, but your kind words and support have really meant a lot to me and i can feel their healing power! i have been just letting time do its thing, slowly but surely, as the old adage says, and hopefully i'll be back to normal soon.
first off, sorry to all of our friends abroad that we had to cancel our european/uk tour. unfortunately the two times i have sustained major injuries on tour, europe was the next thing on our calendar that had to be canceled in order for me to recuperate. we hope to be back over there at some point in the not so distant future to play some musics. we look forward to seeing you soon.
second off, we are really excited about the upcoming shows in chicago, australia, and japan - as well as our big new years eve "blacktie blowout" at madison square garden in new york city! we invite and encourage everyone coming to the new years show to "dress to tha nines," in your finest and classiest party wear: suits/tuxedos, frilly dresses/luxurious ballgowns, top hats and canes, 2009 glasses, etc - as we intend to really "class up the joint" and celebrate the monumental year that 2008 was, whilst gazing forward to the thrills and chills that 2009 will hold.
i knew when i took my first breath of the air of 2008 that it would be a monumentally crazy year- and phew! that was no joke. as challenging as the year has been there has been a lot of change and positivity in the air...with the rekindling of hope that now and in 2009 we can keep working together to even out the playing field across the board and make the planet a healthier place to live for all of our brothers and sisters in the us and across the globe. its time for some love.
here are some links i have found particularly informative over the past few months:
Is it strange to prefer wearing a Banana Costume or an Angel Costume or dress up in some CRAZY outfit RATHER than wanting to get dressed up in a Ballgown? GAH!
hmm now this narrows down the ideas I have, and I know I can wear whatever I wish but to walk into MSG in a ballgown? GAH, I'd prefer the monkey suit or Banana outfit! hehehe
Any ladies out there dressing in their Finest ballgown?
My friend in Charleston has not updated me on the situation in about a week... I'm still assuming we're doing this, but now it's a bit more questionable.

I'm looking forward to wearing a fancy dress...but the thought of a MMJ show in heels has got me bummed out! Yeowch...
I just came to the decision that I AM going to this show. I was planning on The Roots show in Atlantic City, but I finally came to the realization that I CANNOT pass this up.

Smart move. You will not regret it.
And ladies: I know the idea of wearing high-heels for a four hour + show is unbearable--I'm going to stick it out, but I know a few girls who will be wearing ballet slippers, which I think would be much more conducive to getting down. Old Navy has some cute ones right now.

You'll find mey in a pair of jeans and tshirt. I love the idea and if this were a club you could drive to I'd be down. But trampling through the city like that is not something I personally want to do. Thats awesome though and you guys should.
I'll be in a t-shirt and jeans too. I will probably also wear a jacket to see the Jacket. I'd like to wear a tux but I don't have the extra dough right now... and I think it'd be kind of a waste, since I'm going solo.

Add one more to the t-shirt and jeans club for me... but if a ton do dress up, it'll be kind'a neat to see the Garden all "formalized" for a rock concert

Don't bring canes unless you need them to walk. The scumbag security at MSG will confiscate them.

Awww... but then how will I ever manage to complete my pimp costume, or have a cane fight like in Dumb and Dumber?
;D
