I'm right there with you D! I just adore our little family. Hopefully we will all get to hang out again in a few months. Till then, facebook pics, boots and youtube! So happy I got to meet my PJ Santa xoxo

I got a tone of goodies uploading & posting over @ Facebook. Love that little community. Though parking lot G2, will forever be stuck in my head for a very long time! It was great seeing you too! With word from few friends in the area that Pearl Jam will be playing MSG for 4 night's in May '10, my insane 1000+ heart beats a minute, has me seeking & thinking. Hope to see you again in the east coast, C!

I was depressed a little on Sunday. Man. It was over.

However, I started thinking about (hopefully) next time.... and I really think that if they play shows in 2010 I am going to take some huge trips to see them. Possibly including Europe.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I'm already planning on taking a trip to Europe, however I am now going to hold off on making any plans until I hear what the 2010 tour dates are. Unfortunately I'm not too sure if Europe will happen, but we shall see. A PJ road trip here in the states could be a pretty sweet idea too!

I fill with excitement when I start thinking of a "Gorge" trip.

Indifference

My solution is to just go to NZ.

Time my friend, its the only band aid to heal all wounds.

What's the secret? Cause i'm getting sadder & sadder every minute missing my friends & the live Pearl Jam experience! :( I wasn't gonna make these show's cause of a hurting lung & problems with my asthma. Was worried about fainting or getting passed out, but made it through the week! Though the day after I woke up from my bed from home, I got so weak, lost my voice, sad & been thinking of the amazing time I had rocking out in Philly! My first Philly Cheese Steak. Seeing friends from old & new. Watching an amazing work from my favorite band of all time on stage kicking out the jam's. The tough thing, yet again, I traveled alone. And coming back home to a place where it's tough to explain to your friends at home about the experience, cause many aren't even into the band or stuff, takes the passion away sometimes.

What is there to do?
Thanks!

What is there to do? Maybe go out and get another hobby besides PJ. They are not going to be around forever.

I know what u mean... people at work give me looks like I'm crazy when I tell I drove to Philly 3 times this week to see Pearl Jam.

same here...and then when the people at work ask me how the shows were I can't even convey to them the experience and how great it was

Everyone at work thought we would have gotten over it.....Now they can't understand why we're sucking up every last bit of info and pictures and video just trying to re-live every moment...

Go support your local band Wintersleep.
Drink a Keiths.
Try making your own Halifax Cheesesteak.

I just think of all the fans worldwide who wish they could have gone and it makes me even more grateful for being able to go to all 4 shows......plus my wallet needs a breather!!!!!!!!!

they will be back before you know it....NYC...Boston...then we can do it all over again!!

BeeGirl86

It is a ridiculous thing....all I can think about is how badly I want to see them again now. Serious tour depression...I haven't stopped listening to bootlegs and watching Youtube videos since I got back to Pittsburgh from Philly. They better go on tour next year...but I don't know if I can wait that long : ( I'm wishing Australia wasn't so far away.

after 10/31, i don't know if i ever want to go to anouther show.

BeeGirl86

this is true...it will be almost impossible for a show to compare to 10/31, best show I've ever seen

Ain't that the truth.

Liam Finn twice next week. AIC (Twice) the week after. Getting together with PJ mates.

Knowing that it's time to start saving up for the next tour, for the next pre party, post party, off night party, all night party...

I've sworn off post tour depression. No time for lows!

Zidane

I have to admit that on Monday, when people at work were asking me how it was... Damn it was hard to know that I have to wait for next year now!!!!

At the same time, it will be hard to go to the next PJ show 'cause that last one in Philly will be pretty hard to beat, I can say that much!!!

DiRtyFranK38

i'm having total tour depression already too!
I NEEEEED these boots to come out ASAP!


..and then for pj to come to the east coas spring/summer

mikep

yeah...it was inevitable eh D? after such a high riding wave of a week(end) it can only go in one direction afterwards. But all the pics/vids/comments on fbook have been great and kept things better than usual after a pj concert set. Great to be able to connect with so many others and share the same awesome experiences and feelings, and even moreso after the shows if our usual worlds don't quite ''get it'' lol. And turns out most of us are connecting once again in that we are getting sick!! so in some ways we're still all in it together!

This is actually the first set of shows that i didn't feel the post tour depression thing with I think maybe because i feel so lucky to have been there and i am just still in disbelief about the energy, setlists, everything I hope im not speaking too soon, because i know this feeling, and it sucks! A good way to knock it out though is to think about where close to you they will possibly play next Maybe even start a tour fund jar so it feels like you are working up to the next time you'll see a show
