    State of Mind, if you can, please stop by. My 13 yr old son, RidintheLedbetterRiff, will be there Fri & Sat helping and I'm sure he'd love to meet and talk to folks his age about PJ and their views on the old and new music. Many other 10cers said they were bringing kids too. IMO the preparties are about the PJ fans giving back to the community and sharing our PJ experiences rather than a college keg party and are no worse than the shows in my experience. Just my .02 but helps ease your valid concerns.

    Hey, thanks foxymhmama! That would be great for our kids to meet! I will definitely try to stop by! My son is going Fri with me because he still wants to trick or treat with his friends on Halloween! He likes some of their songs but I'm hoping the live show will make an impact on him. (He loves your avatar, btw :D )

    For the Sat show I'm waiting to hear if my daughter is going to come with me or not. She is at Penn State and wasn't sure what her schedule was going to be like yet. She is a great fan and has seen PJ 3 times with me. I'll bring her if she comes.

    Awesome, SOM. They are the gen 2 Jammers after all. The Fixer has him totally pysched as in his words 'Backspacer is his generations' PJ. He feels Evenflow is a remarkable live song due to McCready's wild, incredible riffs and the best part of the show'. He cannot understand how anyone doesn't feel it & leaves during this 'tube ride'. Food for thought to those who want it retired. We look forward to meeting you & think you'll enjoy the positive vibe. Plus the auction items are great. See you in Philly!

    elwayvedder, I'll ask her but she's kinda PO'd cuz she didn't get the email when it was time to buy the student tickets! And they might be changing the student tickets to e-tickets that work on your student ID card instead of hard tickets. But don't quote me because I'm not sure about that! :D

    I will ask her and let you know when she gets back to me.

    Haven't booked flight yet- Wed. is my deadline to make a decision- eventhough I know it will be a yes. And I will def. be at the pre-parties, since I will be a lonely drifter for the weekend... The Spectrum doesn't mind people camping out in the parking lots, right?

    Is it worth buying VIP parking or should I just go with regular parking? I've never been to Philly before...not sure what to expect. Thanks! :D

    ah, VIP parking and $20....I dont have an official answer but I would guess that the VIP parking for $20 is for Lot H (right next to the Spectrum and next to lot F where we will be.). For me, I am going to be there 4 nights so that's a lot of $$ so I personally will decline the VIP treatment...

    Is it worth it for those of us out of towners to get VIP parking? I've never been to the Spectrum or Philly and have no idea what the parking is like down there. I buy VIP parking for concerts at my local venue in Massachusetts because the parking is terrible. You get stuck in the parking lot for 2 hours or more post show if you don't have VIP. Is it the same at the Spectrum?

    If the VIP parking passes are for Lot H, then check out the parking lot map I have in the OP and see that Lot H and Lot F are right next to each other. So in my honest opinion, its not worth the extra money. The Spectrum only holds around 18k peeps. So we will all be stuck in traffic of 18k or we wont be, no matter the lot. Depending on what night we are talking about that is as the 76ers play at home on 10/30 and the Phillies may or maybe not playing on 10/31. I forget the Flyers schedule. Anyway, my point is, dont pay the extra $, park wherever or in Lot F if you come to the pre parties early and just enjoy the show!

    We will also be doing the Pearl Jam Lyrical Challenge at the Friday 10-30 and the Saturday 10-31 pre-parties.

    We had a huge turnout for the game at the Chicago parties. So it looks like a hit. We will have a sign up sheet at the main tables. We wanted 3 teams of 5...but in Chicago we had 6 teams of 8.

    Thanks to all who played and enjoyed it.

    Can't wait - this sounds really fun. My son will be really excited to hear this and I would put money on him nailing any lyric from Lost Dogs, Ten, and any non-Ten songs on Rearview Mirror. Hope he'll get to participate and it will be a lot of laughs at what people come up with.
    Bump for Petrocs, only 2 more days.
