Keep going to school or else in 10-15 years you'll be on this band's message board encouraging wayward youth to skip out on a week of senior year for Pearl Jam shows they can't afford and convincing them that school in general was nothing but a waste of time.

I once had a brainstorm idea at age 17 to ditch Thanksgiving and school and take a bus cross country to San Francisco with about $100 to see something called "The Last Waltz" at the Winterland Ballroom. Keep in mind this was in 1976 and things were a very different back then. Plus I had a friend go with me on this adventure. We even stayed at a YWCA one night and started back home within a couple days. We missed only 2 days of school with the holiday, but spent about 5 days on stinky buses riding through cornfields and mountains to go to one show - was it worth it - most definitely, would I ever do it now, knowing what I know - NEVER. But like I said that was 1976 and times were less volatile - there were still many hippie folks in the vicinity that were welcoming to kids coming there. It started at 5 with a turkey dinner and went until about 3 am the next morning. Once in a lifetime, you betcha. It was the first time I saw Neil Young live. This was a ONCE in a lifetime show and you are already going to the final show at the Spectrum. PJ will play again on the east coast. We were very lucky nothing bad happened and met many nice people who were kind and shared with us once we got there and we knew someone whose parents lived there if we got in a tight spot. Also this was at Today, I would say be happy with the show(s) you are going to and save the extra for next summer when they play within a car ride of home. Talk to your folks and get their opinion. My mom and dad made damn sure I had everything planned and called home (old payphone style) every other day. They were not happy but did not stop me. Did you plan where you would stay or afford the gas/transportation to get there, not to mention food and the price of tickets? Think it through before you leap.

^^^ good post.

i did my fair share of crazy and wild trips...in HS and in college...hell, even just a few years ago.


common theme in most of these posts tho is....BEING WITH A FRIEND. i think that makes ALL the difference, especially when one is underage, and sure, want parental consent. it would be great if the OP had a great pj friend willing to do the trip with him/her, then i'd easily say, go for it! however, if enitrely solo, again, i would ask the same Qs i did in my initial post.


either way, you've got 10.31....and what a show that is going to be!
restless souls...enjoy your youth!

first and foremost is your safety....PJ peeps are the best but...ya still never know....if you were rolling with someone you knew & trusted that is one thing...but if you have to be dependent on a stranger for lodging i'd stay home...if you can hustle yourself a room then GO!! PJ won't be around forever and neither will we.

Just do it! You know it makes sense! A couple of days is not going to ruin your life is it?
