    As usual, let's get a local hotel and fill it with fans. What is closest? Hilton? Homewood Suites? Holiday Inn?

    5/16 day off party at my house

    Sweet, we'll rent a bus and show up in your driveway

    Gonna make my first trip to Hartford for this baby yea!!! Coming up from always ignored deep south to hit Hartford and Boston!!! Yeah!!!!

    If anyone is organizing a mass group of people for cheap room rates at a nearby hotel, count me in and send me a PM with some details... Need a place to sleep as I don't know anyone in Hartford.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    WOW, just realized that it was the Civic Center and not the Meadows. I guess my brain just assumed that since it's been there everytime that it would be there again. Been to all the Meadow's shows but that area is a dump.

    Been lucky to attend every show in New England since 1996.

    I'd love to come to Hartford again

    I am still debating my strategy, but leaning on coming for Hartford/Boston like 2008

    Have they ever played the Xl Center? I am surprised they are not playing Mohegan Sun instead. I am not complaining as I live closer to Hartford.


    Mohegan Sun Arena only holds 10,000 max. XL Center holds 16,500. The meddows (aka Dodge Center, aka Comcast Arena) holds 24,084.

    Although i am glad to see them in the XL, i think the sight lines are much better in an arena than in a amp.

    I'll be there. Would have preferred the Meadows, but whatever. I get to jam out with all you crazy CT people! See you all at the pre-party.

    I called the 10C and spoke to a woman (Kat?) about my idea for the Pearl Jam Whaler's shirt idea. She said she's not sure if they're doing a sports theme this time, but she said to e-mail the 10C about my idea and to see if they can pass it along to the company that makes shirts for the shows. I'm about to e-mail them now about that. Let's hope they get back to me. I explained to the woman that the Whalers were the only professional sports team CT ever had and it sounded like she liked my idea.
    Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford
