remember last spring pearl jam? remember when you came back to nz after an excessively extended absence? remember how good it felt to be back on the shores of aotearoa? remember how much fun we all had? remember how nice it was to see neil and the family again? remember how friendly all the kiwis were?

do ya?

huh?

i think you should come back to new zealand - not just because it's easy enough to hop over the ditch when you visit australia (which you have done twice now without visiting nz... not that i'm counting). not just because you can slot a show or two in when you're down this way. but because we love you and have done for years and years. and because deep down inside you love us too.

wellington is lovely and sunny today.

just sayin...

    well, i've always liked that thus far all my pleas and such have been quite polite. even the banner used its manners and said "please".

    in hindsight, i should have had a follow up banner at the ready that just said "thank you". but sheets aren't free you know pearl jam. they're not free!

    if you come back i'll make you chocolate crackles that don't taste like soap. they're vegan so the whacky veges in the band can tuck in.

    i'll let you play backyard cricket. though the frontyard is probably more appropriate, but then the neighbours can see (and they are nosey)

    I was just playing the "this time last year" game and it's not much fun...

    surely 2011 is a reasonable expectancy for the whanau to come back?

    do you think we all think we got "the point" from Mike? You know, the point. I definitely got the point.

    i digress....

    come back mike! ed! stone! jeff! matt! boom! actually boom, pull some strings, from one tangata whenua to another, haere mai, haere mai, .....

    New Zealand loves Pearl Jam


    Its true

    Do you want stats?

    Mainly based on the Rock Fm

    In 'The Rock' 2010 Rock wars, Pearl Jam came second, losing to Iron Maiden, BUT to get there they had to beat Led Zeppelin AND Metallica.

    Had 5 albums on the Rock 100 albums

    Pearl Jam have been the band with the most songs in the yearly Rock 1000 for a few years now. Eddie usually has the second most songs of any musician on there.

    And, NEW ZEALAND IS AWESOME

    Mt SMART was FULL!! Thats a big stadium! and we all sung along really loud.

    PLEASE COME BACK HERE

    And not in 11 years!!! Cause by then I'll be like... in my 20's. Scary
    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!

    I'm looking to buy a single ticket to Ed's Sydney Opera House show, PM me if you've got a spare! I don't care where the seat is! :D

    hehe. sorry bout that ;)

    I think I have a problem, I'm still sitting on here and I know there isnt going to be any news tonight. I guess I just have nothing better to do than wait to find out if we get to see Eddie.

    I'm just bored
    Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!
