It's nice living in Seattle...

because we have saltwater, freshwater, mountains, sunshine, snow, and rain. On top of that this is the birthplace of such musicians as Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Chris Cornell, Kenny G (well maybe not so cool), Ben Harper, Duff McKagan, Heart, Jimi Hendrix, Green River, Mad Season, Modest Mouse, Mother Love Bone, Mudhoney, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Soundgarden, to name a few. Oh yeah, I almost forgot...a band named Pearl Jam.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you run into a lot of these musicians. If you can manage to think of what to say when you meet them, you might be lucky enough to say thank you and express how much their band means to you personally. Sometimes you get to talk to them for a good while and you start to find out really cool stuff. You may even run into Mike McCready, one of the most incredibly nice, genuine, sincere, and down to earth musicians you will ever meet. And if you're REALLY lucky, you find out that...















PEARL JAM IS PLAYING AT THE KEY ARENA IN SEATTLE ON SEPTEMBER 22nd AND 23RD!!!! :mrgreen:




But that's only if you're REALLY lucky. Mike told me about the 22nd and a friend about the 23rd. While not official and understanding that Mike may have had his dates wrong, I can live with that. It's going to be one hell of a summer and I can't wait! Can you???!!! Hope this news helps the summer vacation planning for you, THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD!

    You also forgot Nirvana, DCFC, Fleet Foxes, Fastbacks, Heart, The Melvins, Queensryche, and Mother Love Bone.

    I guess there are too many to list, I guess Seattle is a jackpot for musical talent.

    Would Citizen Dick count?

    How nice for the Seattleites! And I thought Ed doesn't play places: "with Dave Matthews Stink on them" ;)

    That would be my perfect day at Seattle center, but alas, can't make it in September. :cry:

    I agree. Logistically speaking, Seattle is a lot easier than The Gorge....and I LOVE The Gorge, but this year Seattle is just better. Plus it is always nice to sleep in my own bed after shows.
