When you listen to Live on Ten Legs over and over while travelling because you forgot your Ipod and your spouse just deals with it and doesn't even bother asking if we can listen to something else.
When you're watching Jeopardy with a friend and there's a category named Immortality and you have to tell her that there's a PJ song named that, as if she gives a shit.
When someone you know say's that PJ sucks you actually get really offended as if they're offending a member of your own family.
If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.
When you run out of room on your 64g ipod (all pearl jam after you obviously remove all non-pj before deleting pj) and you get a new boot... spending an hour rationalizing which show you remove... changing your mind at least 3x...
When your kids force you non-pj loving spouse to play PJ Radio in the car (when you are not in the car), because all other music sucks...
When 100% of your birthday gifts, even from mom, are PJ related.
1. You've cried to at least 1 PJ song in concert.
2. You have at least 1 PJ related tattoo
3. You've flown on a plane with soul intent to see them live.
4. You're friends with Dimitris on Facebook.
5. You've already built your funeral playlist with 95% PJ live stuff.
6. You know/can deceifer which drummer is playing on a live intro.
7. Your first song for your first dance of your wedding is a PJ song.
8. You know 2 or more lines from Yellow Ledbetter.
9. You've told your girlfriend to "drop the leash!".
:-)
all but 1
woo
all of them now
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
your life and it's major events are in PJ time...
surrounding concerts, albums,
PJ happenings that coincide with what was happening personally in your life.

you've tried to bribe tenclub to get your number from 1998 back. you got that membership when you were 13 by jacking your mom's credit card, getting caught and never re-newing the membership until you got your first card 5 years later.
You log on to 10c before the kettle boils in the morning.
You find boots on every shelf and in every cupboard.
You sell £300+ worth of old shite on ebay to save for PJ20 but blow it all on boots and t-shirts in a week.
You doodle dream setlists every time someone leaves a pen lying next to an opened envelope.
Your children know the titles to more than 5 PJ songs or at least "kind of" know the lyrics to them.
Like a book among the many on a shelf...
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
you didn't buy Vitalogy on the release date because you knew you would get it for xmas
you're talking to a local in Thunder Bay or Toledo and they are shocked/amazed that you came all the way from California to their city for one day 'just to see a concert'
you have some favorite rare PJ tour shirts that you only wear at PJ shows because you don't want them to wear out and fade
you've owned the 'secret' Japan tour movie and the Birdman sessions for many years
Ed loses his place in the song and you yell out the lyrics to help him out

When you consider going to a Phillip Glass performance, just to hear 20-30 secs of a song, so you can get that feeling you get when you hear it at a PJ show! Of course once you tell your wife that's why you want to go, she rolls her eyes and calls you "obsessed".....
When you're on your 2nd Pearl Jam license plate...and your brother has one too.
When you run into Mike McCready and he refers to you as "the License Plate Guys"
When you're referenced on a bootleg.......You smile when listening to the 5/18/2010 NJ boot at the end of The Fixer, when Eddie says "I'm seeing a lot of license plates being held up....and...I can't read 'em...but I'm just anticipating they're stolen....is that why?"....and you know it's about you!
when sometime ago there was a radio we used to call every day to vote for a group just because they said your name and location in between songs. PJ was 1st place for months.
That same radio had a shutdown years ago, and now it's been on for some months, the other day just from a sony megabass analog fm player really old i keep at work, in my dinner break got to listen 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away' from them. roots from the past fucking made me cry, or was it just the song itself?
When you're with your buddy and he puts 'Smile' on repeat and you're sure it's fine with you.
love the thread
when ANY WHO song comes on and it reminds you of Pearl Jam then you tell the guy next to in the car that Paerl jam sings this better ... THEN you pull out your ipod and play EVERY Who song pearl jam has ever done
You know you are Pearl Jam fan when you have bank account just for PJ stuff: tours, goodies, posters ecc, nothing else...
And then your wife ask you do you have any money left there and you are like...aaa WHAT... and you change the subject.
I am also proud to be a Dimitris friend on facebook
1357 total
6 of them are the only arent pj fans..im working with 2 of the 6 now to pass them pj madness
sent them youtube video,post lyrics on their wall,answer in question with ed quotes...
they will not get away...
When you're husband doesnt even bother questioning youre insane amts of PJ purchases over the past few months, cause he's just so used to it. And when he doesn't even bother to ask if you're buying tickets to the EV solo show, cause it's just a given, no questions need to be asked... And when you're 7 and a half and 4 and a half yr old insist on listening to PJ in dads car cause they Are so used to listening to it all the time in mums car :-)
When on your ipod you will skip songs like Jeremy, betterman, Alive, but as soon as they are played on the radio, you play it and sing it out loud.

you turn on your dvd player and it lights up 'Hello', but all you hear is ed saying "Hello. Hello hello" as he does in the beginning of Public Image on the Berlin 2010 Boot!!
When on your ipod you will skip songs like Jeremy, betterman, Alive, but as soon as they are played on the radio, you play it and sing it out loud.
