    I did, he'll be posting something about it soon.


    I am guessing it will be posted in this section:

    WHo would be so rude to take a picture of someone speaking to a class?

    If jeff came to speak to one of my college classes NO ONE would take a picture with their camera phone, cause to them, the bassist to PJ is not a big deal like Michael Jordan would be. Not even I, a big fan of Jeffs, would be so rude to snap a pic.

    You'd look like an idiot holding your phone up taking pics of a guest speaker.

    When Ian Mackaye came to my school last year for a Music Business forum, loads of people had their picture taken with him afterward.

    All dates are for Spring, but also provides the instructor's phone & e-mail if someone wants to go that far.

    Anyway, sounds fishy to me.



    You and the others who went so far to actually visit the school website and find class schedules could be the biggest losers I have ever seen on this bored. Get a fucking life.

    oh and no one in this class had a camera phone?

    although it is montana ;)

    perhaps the students were happy to listen, and did not feel the need to take pictures.

    Anyone who eventually works in entertainment needs to learn to act professional in front of the talent!

    not everyone would be awestruck in such a situation, and less hoopla caused by picturestakers may help ensure future visits.

    Yeah, ok. It took all of three seconds. I went to google and typed in "Principles Of Entertainment Management University of Montana" and brought me to the class list and the syllabus.


    So in conclusion,

    Go fuck yourself.

    5- I highly.........highly............highly doubt that if PJ was only going to play on show next year it would be that stink fest of drugs and patchwork pants
    6- We will never know the truth :)

    Somebody already had. Look a few posts up.
    In any case, it's right there on a public website. He was very gracious about it.
    He even chuckled when I mentioned the message board debacle.
