It is stressful... the hotels are really screwing me up this go-around. Gotta save every dollar I can for the rest of it, so trying to find good deals without waiting too long is the game. And I waited too long on Hartford!
I always do....and everyone around me is very stressed. I am very set in my ways down to the last meal before the show. Thats how anal I can get. I know it sounds crazy but its true.
Yes, though im much better now since i scored tickets to both MSG shows today! Ill still be stressed until i have the tickets in my hand and, since one of them is an e-ticket, ill be stressed until i get into the arena.
Most definitely. All the waiting and speculation, then they finally announce it, then people complain and bitch nonstop for a week because they aren't playing their city, and so on. But we are dedicated fans and we love Pearl Jam, so we stick it out, stay on the computer refreshing for hours and hours on end buying tickets, etc etc etc, and of course it's all worth it in the end.
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?

ME!
I stress about the flight. Ok not actual flying, that doesn't bother me, but getting thru security and all that. Once I'm on the plane I'm ok.
Checking into the hotel, stress that they lost my reservation.
Stress about picking up my PJ tickets. Hope they aren't lost. When I did the party in SC some guy and his daughter missed the whole party because they had lost his tickets he was there for hours while they found them or got him new ones or whatever they did.
Also stressing about the parties. I want them to be awesome!! So the planning can be stressful!

Which pub do I want to duck into in Dublin (actually, Dublin's not so hard- that's Whelans)
Where do we want to go for drinks in Berlin?
Can I be arsed to go to Nijmegen?
When we're actually at the bar, what do we want to drink?
How much should we drink?
Have I had enough to drink?
How the fuck do you say 'I need to get back to Wombats hostel but before that I want to find a kebab shop' to a Turkish taxi driver in Berlin?
Where should I go to pick up some weed before I head on in to Werchter festival?
It is a good idea to put keep that mullet wig on right through 4 whole days under the sun in Belgium?
If I throw it on stage to Sean Kinney, what are the chances that he passes it over to Dave Grohl next, or return it to me?
Bloody stressful it is. Too right.
115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!
