The "Forums Positivity" Thread
Consider me Richard Simmons...this place needs to lighten up, liven up, and remember that we all waste countless minutes/hours/days on here, the message board of our favorite band. Sure there are things to bitch about or debate over, but come on, the biggest reason we're all here is because this shit is supposed to be fun. So debate away, but remember: if it's the music, the tours, the memories and the friendships that keep us coming back here, then why now u all bitching??? (thanks Dimi)
With that in mind...
Here are 3 PJ-related things that are fucking great.
1. The live version of "Breakerfall"
2. The poster from the 2008 MSG show, with the animals and tree going after the hunter (I have that as a shirt and poster)
3. When the opening chords of "Baba O'Riley" started at Amsterdam 2, I screamed really loud and my wife laughed in my face about it, and then we slapped high-5s and it was fucking awesome.
OK...now you go. Remember...positive things.

2. Seeing the look on my wife's face during her first PJ show (Austin 2009) & her saying afterwards "Wow. I get it now."
3. Meeting so many people at shows, making new friends in person & on the board. Feeling like a very small part of an awesome community.

1. Driving on the highway and I see a YIELD license plate- honk and give the guy a thumbs up :!:
2. After a rough day at work and I put on Daughter/It's O.K. from Touring Band 2000 and suddenly everything is O.k.
3. Driving in the car with my daughter, who is 23, and we are both rockin out to a Pearl Jam song with the sound way up on the radio
All good and all positive :P
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
the blue skies and fluffy clouds that served as the backdrop to the sidestages at PJ20 once the rain stopped
the great vibes when meeting PJ fans from around the world at a 10C gathering, especially those who are almost as quirky as me!
2.) After a long day at work, putting on the head phones and throwing in a boot with a glass of a nice stiff drink - nothing better.
3.) Sharing the love for PJ's music on here with so many people across the world for those outsiders who just can't seem to grasp the significance of PJ music.
I could go on and on.......

2. Witnessing Jeff kiss Eddie on the head and hugging him from behind as they watched the band play from behind the drums. During the group sing on the last day of PJ20!!
3. Asking my kids if they "hear me" while we are listening to a bootleg of a show I attended. As they roll their eyes!
4. Meeting a fellow tenclubber because of my pearljam bumpersticker!!
Trust me, you ain't the first ladies to wanna see me in short-shorts...am I right? Ladies, am I right?
I don't have a facebook, or know how to crop and paste or anything like that, so you know, I'm kind of short, with dark shaggy hair, and brownish eyes, and pretty good quads, and I wear shorts a lot...starting to sound familiar? No? Well imagine this:
...except with my super studly face on it. Dream away ladies...

2. I finally got tickets to Montana - thank you calibigwave!
3. There's not much a little PJ can't improve.
Hail, Hail!!!
1. Hearing a PJ song (radio, tv, movie, bar, club, store, elevator, sporting event, etc) and always stoping, and feeling my ears perk up (usually accompanied by a friend's / co-worker's / stranger's eyeroll).
2. Dusting off the flannel that I have had since I was 15 and have worn to all my PJ shows. (That reminds me, I have to locate it before Montana!)
3. Anytime I hear Black - best song EVER!
...and then they opened with Small Town... it was like, "Good to see you again, man."
