    Damn I won the lottery in Cleveland and thought the same thing about the 10th row. I was grateful for what everyone said about the 'lame' crowd as we could see everything and I'm only 5'2". Bitch all you guy want about 10C...I have no complaints at all!!! :D
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    thanks to everyone :D
    it was thrilling to have that moment of connection when me and mike made eye contact for what seemed like forever. he's such a fun guy to watch, he goofs around a lot as he's shredding and it's so amazing to see. he can just go nuts on the guitar but make it seem like nothing cuz he's just smiling and making faces at the audience. and when he's not doing that he's making that awesome, in the zone face that makes you see just how into it he gets. watching him alone doing his thing was plenty.
    and watching ed just smile and be happy, it was great! i love it when he's energetic and just plain happy to be there.

    when i first got my tickets i saw that it said row 1 and assumed it was side stage, until i saw "section c". i started freaking out, i scared my date! :lol: and he was about to bail... we both had the time of our lives and he's officially spoiled :D

    to pearl jam and 10 c, from the bottom of my heart i thank you for giving me one of the best nights of my life. i won't forget this :)
