Daughter delivered baby 2 months early, can't go to LA!
I can't leave my daughter and fragile new grandson to attend the LA show on 10/6! :( We were going to drive there from Texas. He only weighs 3.8 lbs and will be struggling to survive for a while, but I have faith. My husband is having a brain mass removed in a couple of weeks as well. Why oh why does all this stuff have to happen to my loved ones?
I guess our tickets will go to waste since there are no exchanges, refunds, etc. I am so so SO disappointed to be missing my favorite band, but am praying for my loved ones right now. The money down the toilet on the tickets hurts, but not in the grand scheme of things, I guess. Hope everyone that gets to attend has a great experience!

10c makes exceptions, and this is one of those times, they WILL make an exception, get in touch with them. I just had a new son a month ago and I cant even imagine how I would be feeling right now in your position.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}
Congrats on the little one, and best wishes for your husband. My son was born 2 1/2 months early, only 1 lb. 14.5 oz. He was born in 2001 and is now a very healthy 8 yr. old. I also just had a friend who had a son 2 months early, 2 lbs. He is also doing just fine at 5 months old now. The next couple months will be the hardest to deal with, assuming that the baby must stay in the hospital as did mine and my friends. Having to go home at night without your(in your case, your daughter's) child was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I wish you and your family the best, and hope for all to work out for everyone.
"Stay with meeeee......let's just breathe"
I just heard from the 10 Club and they will not exchange or refund my tickets, as if they made an exception for me, they would have to for everybody. I certainly understand, but it does feel kind of like a slap in the face. They said they will sell them to someone with "less fortunate" seats (my # is 149XXX). I guess it is a good business deal for them, as they get paid twice for the same tickets - right?
Missing the show tonight is going to suck, but my grandson is worth it. Hope everybody has fun!
Pearl Jam will play again, everybody is right.
Corin Tucker wrote this song for her infant son and it seems perfect for your situation:
Sleater-Kinney - "Sympathy"
I know I come to you only when in need
I'm not the best believer
not the most deserving
but all I have all I am all I can
For him
I'd beg you on bended knees for him:
Precious baby, is your life hanging by a thread?
A thread I'm standing on, praying on today
All I have all I am all I can
For him
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
I've got this curse in my hands
All I touch fades to black
Turns to dust turns to sand
I've got this curse on my tongue
All I taste is the rust
This decay in my blood
I don't like the doctor with the deep long face
Only wants to give us the very worst case
I'd rather shout out and shake him and do anything
For him
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
When the moment strikes
it takes you by surprise and
leaves you naked in the face of death and life
there is no righteousness in your darkest moment
We're all equal in the face of what we're most afraid of
And I'm so sorry
for those who didn't make it
and for the mommies who are left with their heart breaking
Search for meaning in sores
The sentences they might form
It's the grammar of skin
Peel it back, let me in
Look for hope in the dark
The shadow cast by your heart
It's the grammar of faith
No more rules, no restraint
How angry I would be
If you'd taken him away
I wish I was wiser but instead
I'll be grateful I'll say thanks
For the joy for the love for the smile on his face
I'd beg you on bended knees for him

My 3 and a half year old daughter is the apple of my eye and I just got off msn video chat talking to her and I'm about to walk across the road to LA3. I don't know how I'd cope without the video hook up over the internet every day.
You have made the right choice, family is way more important than a concert. I don't think I could travel like this again without them, so many things I do and see I wish they were here to experience with me - I think this is the reason PJ are planning mini-tours these days - they also believe in and value their families.
Keep on rockin' in the free world!
And like someone else said, there are so many other things in life that are much more important than Pearl Jam. They will be around again, you will get another chance. Sending positive vibes your way...
My advice: Don't look at the set list from last night! :shock:
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
good luck with the little one and the procedure
My sister had complications with my nephew when he was born (he's healthy and happy now!) and we're both huge Sleater-Kinney fans. Needless to say she can't listen to it anymore without tearing up.
Congrats.
I am blessed by two beautiful baby boys myself.
