    Mmm...let's see:

    First gig in Arhnhem '06: Finland - Netherlands by air
    Second Nijmegen '07: Finland - baltic countries - poland - germany - netherlands and back through denmark & sweden by car

    This summer in Hartford: Finland - USA by plane, lot's of hassle on the airports with luggage & delayed flights.

    But Pearl Jam is definately worth going for and I've got the petition running to get them to Helsinki on their next european tour so ;)

    Miami to San Diego...
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Longest distance I've gone was flying from Pittsburgh to California twice for Bridge School in 2001 and 2006.

    The farthest I've driven was to Fargo, ND in 2003. I then went to every PJ show from there to Columbus, OH, plus a Neil Young show in Chicago the day before PJ was there in the same venue.

    I know it's nothing compared to a lot of people on the board...but I tipped my toes in both oceans in the last four months on account of this band. I'm a college kid living in Wisconsin and made it to LA for the solo shows and New York for the East Coast tour.
    I'm pretty proud of myself.

    40 hour bus ride from Winnipeg to Nashville. Nearly twice as long as it would have been to drive. I think the distance was around 1400 miles.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    From Michigan to California. I went to visit my brother but the main reason I wanted to go was Pearl Jam was playing a show there so I decided to plan seeing my brother along with going to the show. I bought him a ticket and called him and told him when I would be there.
    Shows:
    San Diego 2003
    Grand Rapids 2004
    Grand Rapids 2006
    Detroit 2006
    Columbus 2010
