even with 3 or 4 shows, I could most likely see all of those and spend about the same as Bonnaroo. I know its a stretch but I can see a nice mini tour this year sprinkled with a couple of festival/benefit shows.

i hear ya....

but for me its no longer the amount of shows i can attend....
i have been there and done that...

but that is just me....i understand COMPLETLEY about wanting to do as many shows as possible...ALL THE POWER TO YOU!!!!!!

but those days for me are over and out.....

kicking back and camping with some good friends for 4 days.....even if i am camping out in a field of dirt.......sounds like much more fun to me than driving from city to city...or flying from city to city to see 2 shows....

just me....

joe

and everybody else who made lolla such a kick ass time.......isnt going to this....

i had a bigtime change of heart...

Thanks for the shout out, but yeah, I'm not making this trip.

I have to shell out big bucks for a destination wedding the weekend before that and can't justify two big expenses back to back. If there were one day passes, and I could fly down and check out Nashville for a few days and hit the festival for a day to see PJ I might possibly do that. But the way Bonnaroo is set up with the whole camping or rv thing, it's not really what I'm looking for.

Honestly though, its not about the shows anymore... I mean they are great, that's a given. It is about the hanging out, relaxing with friends (new and old) and having a great fucking time. Also its about seeing parts of the US I haven't yet or wouldn't have the chance to. So with Bonnaroo, I feel I'd get a bigger bang for my buck if I wait and see a few shows from a tour and spend time in different cities rather than blow my load in a field in TN...

i think all of us getting together in that field in Tennessee could be one hell of a fucking time.....i really do....

we all have done the hotel thing....the tailgate thing....the pre-party thing....the post-party thing.....

but this is just different....and thats what is attracting me

to me now(after a few days of thought)......

this has a chance to blow away every other road trip i have done to see pearl jam.

the insanity of sitting in a dirt field....maybe even a mud field...with 80,000 other knuckleheads......could just be a great fucking time....

and it sucks monkey balls that i cant talk
you
joe

garrett
ricky
and larry into going along...........

Yeah I think it would be a great time.... I just can't justify it in my head. I guess its the cost and lack of options or opportunities to do other things besides hang out on a dirt field.

I went to the Gorge and it was great... took in a Mariners game, hung out in Seattle, saw 2 kick ass shows, went whitewater rafting and met a great bunch of people. I guess that trip spoiled me and has become the standard which I'll hold ever trip after up to.

apples and oranges....

my best friend chris and i have done 4 bridge shows/santa barbara and a bunch of kentucky derbys together.....and they were all good trips that went just as planned....but when him and i get together over the holidays and talk "old times"...THOSE TRIPS NEVER REALLY COME UP....

its the trips where we went camping and 3 of the 8 tents we had were lifted in the fucking air by a storm and blown 1/2 mile away while we all stood out in the rain with bottles of booze in our hands watching it happen....and LAUGHING OUR ASSES OFF!!!!....

or we bring up the time when i passed out in my tent after killing a bottle of vodka and it rained all fucking night....when i woke up i literally had 2 inches of water in my tent....how the fuck i didnt drown ill never know......but the whole fucking time after i woke up I WAS LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!!!!!

this trip to BONNAROO has all the ingredients to be "ONE OF THOSE TRIPS"

hehehehehe.......

I find myself in the same predicament, good friends are going and they are tempting me.. but I just can't get myself to justify such an expense...

Kind of what I'm thinking too. I like picking a different city each time.

So it might be worth it if they play other show in TN like one of the "I met...." threads implies. Go down there and see 2 or 3 shows well worth the $$$$
