MMJ @ the Fillmore

Saw Morning My Jacket at the Fillmore on Friday night. They are an amazing band live. Searing guitar lines and soaring vocals and every song, big big big. They were filming a DVD so they asked everyone to, and I quote from the website:

"hello all you nice people coming to our san-fran filmore shows. we wanted to let you know that we are going to be filming the shows for a film-but we want to try and make it a special "fantasty" (ooohhh....)  film that is more like a movie than an ordinary concert film. we want to encourage attendees to dress up in costumes (preferably "faeries and wizards and goblins") or olde timey victorian ballroom dancing attire-big frilly skirts and top hats and tuxedos and such. we also encourage that you bring glo-sticks, flowers, magic wands or any other interesting objects that may look cool on film and glow. if you have a pumpkin and two mice that you can turn into a stagecoach drawn by horses you should ride to the show in that and our monkey butler will help you out and into the club. we want to get fun footage of people arriving and also crowd shots where it looks like it was filmed in a fantasy forest in the early 1900's. so yes- think "olde-tymey fantasy forest- or just dressy if you don't have any costumes or skrilla to spend on costumes. please spread this message to anyone you know that may be attending... and come have a grand time with us out in the forest."

Got that? This being San Francisco, many people were able to comply with their request. But not me. Instead, I wore banana republic pants and GBV 2003 tour shirt, like I do at every rockshow.
