Don't know what "older" is exactly, since PJ keeps me feeling young, but I'm 51 and going 4 for 4 10C--- plus got one extra ticket today for 10/27. Bringing my 16 y.o. son to one. Can't wait for him to see his first show. :D

    ok, I'm not old (although I feel old some days). I am 40, going to all 4 Philly shows, probably taking my 13 year old son to one of them.

    I have 3 boys (14, 13, 9) and have taken them to a few shows this past year - Iron Maiden, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots. Took the oldest to U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Smashing Pumpkins a few years back too.

    We'll be sure to have plenty of Werther's Originals at the tailgate.

    :D

    I'm not old either... :) just "older"... Keep music in your life and you'll never get old.

    My husband has taken our son to see Dylan, Phil Leash & Friends, and The Dead. He's into all kinds of music---as we are, it's always on (and loud). Hope your son has a great time.

    I'm 40, and my husband and I are taking our boys (10 and 13) to all four shows.

    I'm not getting the Werther's Originals joke. :oops: Thanks to my rather grueling training schedule, I'll most likely be drinking Gatorade at tailgates.

    40 is not old, everyone in the band is over 40 and they are going to be there 4 nights.

    I'm 51 also, but decided to only do the last 3 of 4 (with 10C seats) even though I only live 8 miles from the Spectrum. It's gonna be really heard to stay away from that 1st night.

    But, I am headed to Chicago night 2 for a little warmup!

    going to 3 of 4 (10/28, 10/30, 10/31) and i guess i'm older (41) in comparison to many PJ fans but my wife frequently tells me i act like a 20 year old so maybe that makes me less old. Also feeling guilty about missing my 7 and 9 year old on halloween but there will be a halloween next year the 31st will only come once.
    don't gimme no lip !

    I'm feeling the same about missing Halloween with my 11 y.o. daughter. My husband said he will stay back with her, but I'm hoping we can talk her into going on an over-nighter with her bff.
