    Hey Lazlo as a former San Diegan, I would read this thread at times and feel for the south. Now as a resident of Houston, TX. I join in unity with y'all.

    Come on Pearl jam, play the south. We aren't so bad...


    This reminds me of the old Chris Farley\Adam Sandler skit where he's saying "Just let him work, he's a good boy..." or something like that.

    for the 4th largest city in america that has been growing at a rate of almost 1000 people/day for the last three months... I'm surprised there's not more of us.

    And people say oil is a dirty business.... :shifty:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    I hope those 2014 Texas grumblings are true. And if they're looking at outdoor shows, the new Austin360 Ampitheatre is an awesome place to see a show. Saw the Avett Brothers there a couple of months ago - for those who haven't been there, the venue is on the lawn of the Formula 1 race track. Beautiful place to see a show.

    And Shep, I'm 100% with you on Houston - MUCH prefer Toyota Center. The Woodlands is such a pain to get in and out of. But at this point, I'd gladly drive up there for PJ.

    haha yep Agreed

    Guilty. i brought six here a year ago including myself and helped my friend get out here and that's 5 more. Don't blame me for the traffic though. I take a shuttle to work everyday :D

    Austin 360 is also Live Nation so it seems like a natural fit. Just keep it early in the spring to avoid heat stroke!

    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    LOUISVILLE

    Yes
    Please
    YUM Center
    It's been over 19 years

    They played Lexington in 2004, but that's about a 75 minute drive, and clearly a different metro area

    Name another city of similar size or larger that hasn't seen a show in that long? Let's say within an hour's drive.

    Jacksonville is about the only one I can come up with.

    I would argue Jacksonville and Louisville are the two most ignored cities by the band. Unfortunately for me, I live in one of them...

    Just some more southern Florida love.
    I think we may have a new resident in Mr. Chris Cornell.I saw a bunch of pics of him at Heat Championship games and just this week he posted pics of he and his frolicking in the aqua waters of South Beach. Spending a lot of time here in our little slice of paradise.Anyone know for sure?
    So this bump is for a Temple of The Dog set in West Palm Beach this spring with CC joining the boys on stage.

    Still heresay at this point, but Dallas was a rumour (or strong suggestion from us!) for awhile before our dreams came true. I'm gonna go ahead and get stoked for it. :corn:

    Looks like I'm going to wind up at that hated facility in the Woodlands... :fp: .... oh well.... A trip to Exxon Mobile City is ok every once in a while a guess...

    BTW, :wave: all... busy with work, and just had a boys weekend at Lollapalooza in Chicago.... haven't had much time lately to check in...

    have I missed anything?
    Shep:
    With all due respect, have seen hundreds of concerts in every conceivable type of facility. Have been to couple dozen shows in The Woodlands and though the acoustics can’t match that of a theatre, it’s not any worse than the freakin Toyota Center, Alpine, MSG, Gorge or many other places that PJ plays. If you’re in decent seats at the Woodlands it actually sounds good, can clearly identify each member of a band. Hell saw Black Sabbath and they sounded really good (Ozzy showed his age but..). Thanks to my girl for getting stellar seats.
    Also not looking for perfect sound anyway..its a concert..and the vibe and ambience is more important..and being under the stars does that for me. Also hear comments about the staff at the event. Not being one of the drunk douches that goes to concerts to get wasted, appreciate how the staff takes care of business. You won’t have to worry about some drunk prick ruining your day cause the staff will take care of them. Actually complimented staff on my last visit. Finally driving into Downtown Houston, paying for parking, getting accosted by homeless people going to venue and cooped up in stuffy building is no fun. Don’t have to worry about my car either. You’re in Texas...we have no public transportation....we drive here, it’s not a big deal.
    Peace
