Is anyone from the forum going to this show?? I'm going and am coming from Minnesota, I sure would like to meet other TM fans. This will be my first show so I'll will have a bottle of Makers Mark in hand.

 

Also, this is my first show so any advice about attending a TM show would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm... that's a good question. What are some recommendations for a first Tift show?

Obviously a bottle of Maker's Mark is always a good idea, but I've never had to try and slip one past the front door. Getting a T-shirt after the show is always a good idea. I've got my eye on those 5' 2'' with a Posse shirts. I would suggest a camera, but you're probably bringing that already :), and get a picture with Tift. Definitely get a picture with Tift and the bottle of Maker's Mark!

Absolutely get a picture with Tift and your Maker's, and you can join the ranks of Mack-Daddy status! Hope you enjoy the show! Do hang around afterward at the merch table and don't be shy about talking to Tift and Zeke and the band. They're all very friendly and accesible and love to meet their fans!

Andie's right about the accessibility. As good as Tift is, one gets the sense that she's still thrilled to discover that someone will go out of his/her way to listen to her play. The critical acclaim for her work has not given her an entitlement mentality.

Be forewarned: As much as you think you like her now, that feeling will grow exponentially after meeting her and her musical partners. You will find yourself actively rooting for them to achieve as much success as they can.

Paul,

I'm most likely making the road trip for this one as there are no more shows near Mpls.  My travel plans are a little up in the air though (I might make a weekend out of it & do some other shooting work while I'm there) but I'll be in touch about it.

Hey thanks for the great tips everybody. This will be a strange event for me, let me explain.....#1. You CAN take pictures at her show (within reason) #2. This will be the FIRST time I ever bought booz for an artist so I could join a fan club (TMSTFC) and #3 is that I might just be able to share a shot from the bottle I brought for the artist... WITH!! the artist. Tift is my kind-a girl.

And TN, yes get in touch when you can, we'll talk. At least there will be 2 Tift forum fans there.

I do have one question about the show. Is it solo or with band, I think it's solo but not sure. Anyone know for sure.
