    I am taking my friend to her first show - we are celebrating our 30th bday together - she is just thrilled, as am I! We don't get to see each other often, just once every couple of years.
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    I am taking a buddy. I broke his Supersuckers virginity at First Avenue in the spring and he is super excited for his Pearl Jam cherry to be popped.

    My first was Philly 1 last year and my aunt took me. I'm taking my mom to see her first PJ show in Moline. She went to Seattle with me last year but had a seat in the last row behind the stage so she couldn't see the stage at all. She has heard PJ live but Moline will be the first PJ show that she actually sees.

    Taking my 14 year-old (step) daughter to her first PJ show on Friday. I am so stoked for her (and her mom and myself, of course). She's gonna realize just how nuts I am when she witnesses the extent of me losing my shit that occurs at a Pearl Jam show.

    Going to Cincy tonight w/ a buddy I converted to our faith a few years back. :)

    I'm taking my oldest friend to his 2ND PJ show. He doesn't remember much of the 1st one. He's much older & wiser now, so this will be LIKE his 1st one.

    Sort of. My sister-in-law is going to her first show tonight and we are traveling and hanging out with them but their seats are somewhere else since I'm in the club.

    2 of my co-workers are going to their first as well. Again, not sitting with them, but probably will share a few drinks before and after.

    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Not this time around but I've taken 4 people to their fist PJ show. It's the coolest thing watching someone become a fan if it clicks.

    Took who is now my best friend, on a whim, to the mighty MSG 2 2010 show. For some reason, though we had only been friends for about 6 months, I thought she'd be into it...I was right, it completely clicked, and PJ has become a huge part of our friendship ever since!

    Well I'm taking my wife for her second show in Detroit...but our first show together in 2010 was before marriage ie living together and having to listen to PJ on a day to day basis. So this time around she actually knows 90% catalog versus just their radio hits.
