request 311 at your favorite radio station, and crank up some
311 on your car or home stereo!!...or better yet, go to the
official 3-11 Day Show!!)
On March 11, 2000...311 celebrated with a very special weekend
in New Orleans. There was:
A fan appreciation party; where hundreds of fans gathered
to meet each other the night before the show. Many of these
fans, from all over the US, had met via the 311 Bulletin Board,
but never face to face.
A special in-store (meet 311 on 3-11
at 3:11), where the Mayor of New Orleans gave the band a plaque
proclaiming March 11, 2000 as 311 Day in New Orleans.
And a special concert. At the concert 311 played for 3 hours
and 11 minutes (their longest set ever, 47 songs). The band
also had the Wild Mardi Gras Indians and other costumed Mardi
Gras paraders join the show.
On Monday, March 11, 2002...311 is doing it again!! 311 is
going back to New Orleans and staging an even greater 3-11
Day concert event. The show is at UNO Lakefront Arena. Hoobastank
is the opening act. 311 is planning to put on a special extended
performance including all of 311's classics plus lots of rarities.
There will also be plenty of special surprises during the
show.

full color 16" x 22" posters.
AMBER VIDEO:
311 shot a video for their song "Amber" on January 9 and 10
at Crystal Cove in Laguna Beach, CA. The video was directed
by the Malloy Brothers, who have done videos for Blink 182,
Foo Fighters and MxPx. It looks really great!
Set on the California coastline, the energy, vibe and colors
were a perfect match for the song. The video is being edited
now. Look for the video in mid/late February. We'll keep you
posted!
