    I'd like to share the thoughts that have been running through my brain in relation to the PJ weekend bash.

    They are:

    This going to be 3 days ?
    Is PJ going to play twice a day, Friday, Saturday & Sunday ? Once in at 12pm and then at 9 pm ?
    Are they bringing along other musical guests to celebrate ?
    Oh, wouldn't AC/DC be a perfect fit ?
    I hope people from the Toronto area are interested in renting a motor home or just traveling down together?
    It has to be some type of camping, right ? It has to be. That's what makes sense, no?
    Ya, you're on your own for lunch (motor home people) but we all (3 of us for sure) cook dinner together before the evening show ?
    It's has to be camping of some sort ?
    My love for beer is alive and well ... out there drinking beer in the sun ... oh ya
    Fuck, go away winter! Hurry up spring.


    AC/DC???
    how about AIC, Foo's, Ben, Neil, Soundgarden, any of these would be perfect in my opinion

    No ALice In Chains please (But what do I know) I'm not into 'lead-singer-dead-replace-lead-singer" bands. Maybe, if I did actually go see the new Alice In Chains, my opinion would change...hmmm
    Neil I would assume should be automatic. Ben, yes, I have yet to see him grace INDIFFERENCE with PJ on stage.
    Truthfully, I'd like to see the Peppers in there somewhere.
    And if it turns out to be an overnight camping arrangement of some sort, a DJ till 4am. Mark Farina is a perfect fit. Deep house !

    RightSaidVed, (Brilliant screen name by the way) Where in Ontario (Canada?) are you ?

    dimitrispearljam, am I on that list yet my Greek friend ? :-)

    I'm in.
    Praying no AIC or a fan's band because both would be horrible.

    Zarocat, while we're waiting to hear, take a look at this thread and see if we're missing anything. And if you could bring some instant coffee, that would be great. Oh, and Monopoly.

    Around the time that Crowe’s movie opens in late summer, Pearl Jam are planning a massive “weekend bash,” as Curtis calls it, somewhere in the middle of the country. Details are still being worked out, but it will probably be a two-day event involving multiple bands and Pearl Jam headlining both nights. “We’ve played enough festivals that we know what makes them exciting,” says Ament. “We want to give people places to go that aren’t necessarily musical – second stages and all that kind of stuff. We’re asking our friends if they want to play a couple of shows with us.”

    The group plans special sets at the festival, but don't expect to hear any of their classic albums performed straight through. "We talk about that stuff," says Ament. "For me, personally, it starts to become a little bit of a nostalgia thing. I remember we once did Ten start to finish and it didn't work very well because it was kind of a little bit too down...I think we did a good enough job of mixing up the sets every night that we give people a taste of every record."

    When the festival is over, however, it’s back to business as usual. “Ed and I were just going through old photos, journals and clippings for the box set,” says Ament. “By the end, we were both like, ‘Ugh, we’re done with the past for a while.’ We’re ready to work on new songs and get excited about what’s 
ahead.”
