wow. i'd actually say you're the lame one. you judge me for using some of my left over pell grant to go to pj 20? what would be a good idea for me to use it on? please, i'd like to know. so far i've used some of it for school, some of it for a new computer (sorry, a great indulgence on my part i know, mine old was good enough. the screen was a bit broken and it took forever to load a page but what the hell.) and the little rest i had left i decided to treat myself with a little pj. i don't go out much and i've been through hell and back over the past year and i know you know nothing of me or the shit i've gone through to actually get that money but no, please, go ahead, please tell me what i should do with the rest of it. it's your money after all, so you tell me what i should do with it.

pearl jam fans make me not want to be a pearl jam fan.

You keep sounding like you are guilty of something...I'm not the government so I don't know....

in your case, i suggest you give it back to the .gov. i would suggest using to pay down your student loans which are used for funding school, but since you blew those dollars on PJ, i can't justify that.

How about the MS you told me about...maybe you got a full ride for that one though. I hope you did. Good luck to ya.

i give up. you're all right, i'm an irresponsible drain on society with no sense of how to prioritize my life. i just give up

and no, i dont' know how to fund my MS yet. or where i'm going. or what state or country i'm getting it in yet. because i know nothing about life.

Honestly.. I'd agree with what someone else here said. If you use your pell grant for something other than your education, it's probably done all of the time to varying degrees, but if you are doing it, the best thing you could do is just keep quiet about it, as to taxpayers I could see it feel like being cheated.

You sure you aren't a drama major?

So anticipating the demand for hotels (because I sure as fuck am not camping), I guess its probably a perk that I married a WI girl whose parents live 2 hours from Alpine. Worst-case, sleep there for the weekend. Her parents would hate us "visiting them" but being at a show the whole weekend, but tough shit.

In terms of getting a hotel, I'm planning on going about a half hour away from Alpine and just driving in each day. We stayed in Deforest, WI (which is about 90 minutes from Alpine) for Rage Against The Machine a few years ago and it worked out fine.

So for you out-of-towners, don't panic if you don't find a hotel within 10 minutes; there are places to stay, but you might have to drive a bit. This, of course, assumes that it IS at Alpine Valley. I haven't seen anything official yet, so I'm hesitant to book anything just yet.


In other news...I'm about to explode here. Please please please release the date/location!

just my opinion here....

let the pell grant thing go. it's their money & they can spend it however they want. seriously, people. there are far more important concerns in life.

that's all...just wanted to say that.

Starting to look like we wont have to worry about all the touchy feely love fest vibes at this PJ20 thing. It might just be the biggest group of PJ fans that cant stand each other.

I have never gone to a PJ show and not felt like i was part of the Pearl Fam.....we bitch and moan and complain and bicker on here....but at the shows people are too fucking happy to bitch or moan or argue.

Indeed. It's what the internet is for basically. 2 billion ppl long on everyday and complain.

Pearl Jam shows are great and have a very communal feeling, especially if you're upfront with 10 clubbers, and thats at regular shows. This fest is going to be PJ celebration and I am pumped.

I can't wait to see the band again and bump into a few of you

i realize people use money from pell grants and other grants to buy beer and clothes etc. but to flaunt that you are going to use it (1K at least to go from NY to alpine) for a concert burns me.

it's the old saying, when you start paying, you'll start caring.

too bad my kids' student loans go straight to their schools....
