Well, I know this is a long shot... In 2003, I was a totally broke 19 year old, spending what little I had to follow Pearl Jam. I found Paul on pjvault.com and bought my face value Hershey tix from him. He was impressed that I drove all the way from Indiana. We hung out briefly, then parted ways.
After the show, I made some new groupie friends. (Shout out! Matt K and Mike A...righteous dudes. Love.) They were hyped on the Holmdel show two nights later, and (quite easily) talked me into going, even though I didn't have tickets. Paul ended up calling me about an hour after the Hershey show to discuss the set and say goodbye. I told him of my plans to drive out to New Jersey and my hope to get lucky and find seats. He said he'd be at that show too, and to stop and say hello.
So there I was, pulling into the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. No tickets. Hardly any money. I found Paul and got the shock of a lifetime. He had some extra tickets for this show and he GAVE them to me. They were great seats in the pavillion, right in between Mike and Ed. Then they opened with Wash, went right into Once, and later finished the trilogy...Wow. Thank you so much Paul!!
So once again, I find myself heading to PA to see PJ. Thankfully, on a plane and not in my car this time. I'm taking my 15 year old brother on Halloween. It'll be his first PJ show. I found AMAZING seats, and have an extra. Paul, are you out there? If you are, your seat is waiting.
