Currently I'm sat at my desk in a Binaural t-shirt while Daughter plays on the office stereo... Oh yes, we're listening to the whole of Rearviewmirror... My work mates kindly let me have a Pearl Jam day at work! :mrgreen: I think possibly it was to shut me up due to the immense excitement for next week but meh! :lol:

Later this afternoon they're being treated to the Reading 06 boot...

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Not really :lol:

    A couple of people recognise Alive and Jeremy (obviously) but most people hadn't even heard of them until I started here. There was a guy who used to work here that's a Tenclub member and goes to every show! T'was a beautiful day in our company's history when we both realised our mutal Pearl Jam love :mrgreen:

    I made a compilation for a couple of people from work before Reading '06, they were going to the festival anyway and didn't know any of PJ's stuff. One guy didn't like it, the other one did, and said "yeah it sounds a bit like that band Creed"! :evil: He was lucky I didn't punch him in his dirty little mouth!

    All I have on my work PC is my Pearl Jam collection.
    It is all I listen to, nothing else.
    Someone at work said ''we should call ******** PJ" from now on coz he's a "pearl jam freak" lol

    I have a headphones all day kind of job so I listen to them constantly. The other day, I randomly asked my boss (a Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith kinda gal :) ) what she was listening to.... Sad of all things!
    Come to find out she is a HUGE PJ fan and had just done Wishlist at karaoke (random, I know) the night before! She is even going to a show with me in Philly. Nice, right?

    I'll just plug my Ipod into my radio at work and play all the music I want. My cubicle is PJ central!!!! With the posters and shit in my cubicle, and Vitalogy and any other PJ albums running, people around me know how big of a fan I am!Last week I screamed in the entire office when I was able to get PJ tickets for the Philly show; they think I'm insane...! Oh well...!

    At my work I can walk around listening to songs on my Ipod. I also get away with wearing t-shirts into work and around the traps. Have often discussed PJ with one of my supervisors. Am going to try and talk him into seeing them when I next see him! ;)
