I hope people will bring their camcorders and send back some good YouTube videos so we can sit at our home computers and watch them as Jeff and the Jitters run around the world. Plenty of light makes for good video, so leave the house lights on if possible. Hope you all get comfortable places to sleep, good attendance, and have a great time. Set that Trojan Tiger loose on Mid-America! Bon Voyage!!

I am crossing my fingers that a Richmond VA show will be possible.

morgan · Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 12:55 am Post subject:

I'm playing in both those places and the gainseville one will most probably be with paul baribeau!

Could you help with a venue for richmond granfalloon?
It would be April 1st.

for those interested, it appears that Mr. Lewis and band have found a gig in Greensboro, NC on March 18.

and Morgan, here are some of the places I emailed the band about, so the musical style should be similar, though I'm guessing you have less of a following (but I could be very wrong!)--

thanks so much for the info! but, I think we've decided to just sit down and watch kimya dawson that night. if you could help with a place to stay however it would be much appreciated! maybe we could do a show after that show hmm. pm or email me about this @ momaniac@yahoo.com

I think it's safe to say I have less of a following than jeff.

no one has made a morgan orion message board....yet.

Hi, I'm Scott, I saw Jeffrey Lewis and The Jitters in Eugene last night and they totally blew me away and made the Mountain Goats seem shitty. Thank you for the best show I've seen in my recent history

Sorry if this seems out of place, I didn't know where else to introduce myself and didn't want to make a thread dedicated to myself. Perhaps there should be an introduce yourself thread?
