after nearly 20 years of loving PJ, I finally made it to a concert. All these years I've been in the wrong place at the wrong time or had no extra money. But I caught the last show in Philly. Drove all the way from Pitt. Put it on credit. Sick as heck with strep throat. In the midst of a painful separation from a 20 year marriage. BUT I FREAKING MADE IT!!! and it was everything I dreamed of. I'll never forget.
I escaped it...a life wasted

    Awesome! I too have been waiting for 18 years to see PJ live, my reason is more location, I live in New Zealand, PJ have only been here twice, the first time I was 12 (hardcore fan by then!) and again when I was 16. There was no way my parents would let me go especially considering they have only ever played in Auckland which is 6 hours away. Its been nearly 12 years since they were last here, but finally next friday 27.11 I am going to get to see them!!! Holy crap I tell ya I'm so excited! :mrgreen:
    all you need is love, love is all you need
