    I'm an "old lady" too, and I can't wait for that sticker pack to arrive-the patch too!! :lol:

    By the way, I work in a library and have found several books with PJ song titles. Whenever I see one, I always smile to myself and sometimes even point them out to co-workers. :D Last week I actually found a children's book with TWO songs in the title: "Corduroy's Garden". You can only imagine how crazy I went when I saw that one. :lol:
    Later in the day I found a children's book entitled "Rats". :D

    You want to give your home studio a cool vibe, kind of like the old rehearsal space, and their new rehearsal space, so you look on ebay for a candle holder similar to the one found in Single Video Theory on the pillar behind Ed, and to your surprise find the exact same one for $9.00. Yep, I am a PJ geek!, and I love it!

    Your wife agrees to name your first born son Edward Stone :D
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"

    1) When you're Googling "funny pics of Eddie Vedder" for the "Hey girl" thread and on page 2 there is a photo of yourself!! No lie!!
    Funnypicsofeddiewithme-1.jpg
    2) When you grew up thinking your stepdad was your real dad...and then you realize why you have such a deep connection and know in your soul that Pearl Jam is more than just "some band"
    3) When you travel all over the states to see them live.
    4) When you would give just about anything to see PJ play live in Verona
    5) When your sister's nickname is PJ (Pamela Jo) :)
    6) When you have considered naming your first born son Edward
    7) When you feel at home at a concert because all the fans around you are not just fans... They feel like family. :)

    I could keep going... :)

    You borrow your grams credit card to buy midtown tickets so the wife won't see them. Then you buy plane tickets for said wife and yourself. You also arrange all sitting for children and then just say fuck it, your coming or your not. :twisted:
    Just, not enough.

    When:
    1)The song I walked down the aisle at my wedding was The Long Road
    2) Our wedding cake topper was the Stickman couple :-)
    3) Our honeymoon trip was planned around the Peru Show last year **We missed the flight connection from Guayaquil, Ecuador to Peru, so we got the only flight that day to Peru via Panama and got to Lima half hour before the show ended.
    4) I named my beloved cat Pearl...
    5) When you talk about Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder to my coworkers and patients.
    6) When friends think any trip we plan HAS to be PJ related.
    7) When I have dreams about being at a Pearl Jam concert or meeting Eddie :-)
    8) When a wall of the house is all lined with PJ concert posters.
    9) When the coffee table has books that are all PJ.
