Camden 1: Ruined,

Anyone ever have a simlar experience?......
I got to Camden around 5:30 without havin eaten anything since 11 am. The group I came with (8 people) wanted to do power hr but I refused, thinking id get too intoxicated before an important night.

They insisted so we settled on a case race instead thinking i could just drink however much or little i decided. About an hr later, I was still starving and threw back a few cookies and brownies. Now I was def drunker than expected, probably due to the lack of food and totally forgot that the brownies were for my sister and her friends for a "special" reason. I had never had any type of drug before and an hr later was about the last thing i remember clearly. Dont know if the problem was the alchohol, brownies, but i guess it was both.

Once in the venue I had lost 6 of the people we came with. Shorty after finding my seat, I remember H2I and corduroy (prolly bc i was pissed i saw the exact 2 1st songs at roo). After that I rem bits in pieces of songs. I rem YLB and thinking its over already?

I got home and saw that i sent around 40 texts trying to locate the people i came with (who were all also alone). I am still so upset I basically missed a show Ive been so excited to see for months.

I'm still heading up to MSG 1 and plan on totally redeaming myself, but still...

Anyone else ever screw up and cause yourself to have a terrible pj experience that you regret?

    Yea!!!!!!!!! Where's the meet up!!!
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    That pretty much sums up the last three pj shows i've been to.
    Continental 2 in 06 me and my buddy finish bottle of kettle one before our tailgate and then proceed to throw down 10+ beers in parking lot. I remembered maybe four songs from that show. Vowed never to do it again.

    Well Vic theatre last summer it happened again, vodka car bombs and tequilla spells disaster nearly got kicked out before the show and rememer bits and pieces. Lolla was similar too.

    this time for these MSG shows i am pacing myself.

    the drugs dont bother me,
    but the drunkards do.

    why the fuck do you go to a show like this if you cant remember and enjoy it ?
    :confused:

    smoke all the weed you want- but dont smoke them damn cigarettes ( they smell horrible and just in genreal are disgusting ) - that means you too eddie !

    You don't need drugs to make a Pearl Jam concert better unless you aren't a big fan of them.. Hearing the band alone is enough of a drug to numb your body with excitement!

    I can't imagine smoking up before a show. At most I'll have a few beers to loosin' up.

    I try to stay "sober" for all PJ shows. I was only really messed up for two shows and I've regretted basically wasting a show. I still had a good time, but I try to treasure each show and not have to worry about forgetting certain parts. It also makes it more enjoyable for those sitting around me.

    I did a similar stunt when Farmaid came to Pittsburgh, however many years ago it was. Except I ended up with a huge gash on my leg and various other cuts and bruises. And a very pissed off friend. Never again I said and meant it! Definitely pace myself now, especially for a PJ show. Some of the lesser important shows are a little hazy... When I went to see Eddie solo in Santa Cruz I only drank a half a beer cause I wanted to remember every second.

    All in all I learned a valuable lesson as you did too. Sucks but what you gonna do? :)
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.
