    I feel your campaign buddy...keep bumping your thread....I think it would be a sweet story if they played a gig in Alaska. What are you cooking for breakfast?

    Are there any outdoor venues in AK? Comfortable enough, if only in the summer months, for a concert? I've always thought it would be cool to see PJ play outside of the normal venue, like on a ski-hill or on a giant beach. Or near a glacier in Alaska.. That would rock! :D

    i know that in anchorage theres the Sullivan Areana. & Here in Fairbanks , they could do a gig at the University. or maybe some Farmer will be kind . LOL ..

    you don't want an outdoor concert here in June or July. the mosquitos are a real Bitch... but once you hit mid August its sweet ! the bugs are gone for the most part. temps are still in the mid 70's to low 80's . the days are still 18 hours long !

    as to breakfast , the meat eaters can enjoy some bacon , ham , or reindeer sausage with Pancakes. or Sour Dough freedom toast. plently of eggs & potatoes ..

    for the vegans , or veggios , we have plently of fresh fruits , & nuts. & i'm sure i can pick up some sow milke ! :D LOL

    Where did you hear this? It'd be nice, and I'm thinking it's about time PJ played more spots than Van, TO and MTL.. Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal would be a great little Canadian tour. And you might draw more fans out in excitement if you actually spent a little time in our great country, eh guys? :D

    Can we consider this now a legendary post?

    PJ In Alaska!! I had forgotten about your campaign, but I see it's still going strong.. Looks like I got two things I wanted, a PJ Canada tour, and an outdoor show by some sweet nature. Keep hope alive!! :)

    i finally thought of something somewhat intelligent to ask in a first post.

    Why hasn't PJ ever played in AK ?

    anyone know Y this is?

    thanks

    Probably too cold! No im not too sure, i live in Australia and i must say whenever i see Alaska on the TV i think its so beautiful.........Im sure there is a good reason, and im certain they would agree that the place looks very nice, cant believe thay have never been there!

    I was in AK about three summers ago and it's a great place. PJ may not have a lot of fans up there but I'm sure they would make a lot of fans if they played there. I'm sure the band would really dig the sights/nature up there.

    Name some big name bands that have played Alaska. I know Ozzy did some dates up there. I'm just curious who else has played there.
    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    I think he was referring to some "legendary post" I made saying I hope PJ tours Canada extensively.. Which they are.. I knew it would happen, as soon as people started speculating about the Canadian anthem on pearljam.com, I starting saving money. :)

    I don't think it's "legend" material, but I think it's an example of how faith and will can guide your life.. At least it will in September on the biggest road trip I've ever conceived of.. :)

    And if PJ plays in Alaska, you can be sure I'll be there to rock out cold with you guys! :D

    thats a lame ass excuse ... i lived in Chicago for over 30 years. i'll take a Fairbanks cold spell any day over the WINDY city.

    Sure it can drop to a -45. but that lasts a day or 2 , in Chi-town , the temp drops to a -20 with a 30mph wind , making it -55 .. now thats cold.

    & as to East Troy, I was at the show where the afternoon temps where in the mid 70's & that night we froze our asses off in 26 degree weather. & East Troy is what 70 miles from Chicago?

    In the age of the revolving sports franchises, that is a stupid question.

    We have less then 1,000,000 people living here. In an area 1/2 the size of the lower 48 states. Where i grew up i had 200,000 neighbors ! i don't expect this state to have a major sports franchise. logistically its impossible.

    but that doesnt mean we don't enjoy Sports , or Music, or Living !
