PJ 20, who's in?

ajedigecko

i am spending my budget on adventrue racing....tough mudder in beaver creek, co. and warrior dash in kc.

then taking some students to warrior dash in tulsa....now if any of you want to have a drink after that. i would be interested.

unsung

I opted to not go. Like someone else said I also have no interest in the opening acts and the closest hotel I could get was almost an hour away.

Hope everyone has a good time.

now the hard part of getting tickets....

hoping to meet those that are going and have a beer with you.

I'll be at the same campground. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

I guess I am one of the (extremely) lucky ones. I booked a room at the Alpine Valley Resort back in Feb./Mar., and I was able to get tickets. Like some of you, I am not too siked about the opening acts, especially the fact that they are all playing both days. That makes no sense to me. This weekend should be about Pearl Jam, and it looks like it will simply be 2 PJ shows, 2 days in a row. I can do that at MSG, and for a lot cheaper.
I am hoping I will be surprised though: Soundgarden, AIC, Neil, Roger & Pete? Or, 2 insane, uber-extended PJ shows. When Phish has their Superball weekends, it is all about them: afternoon shows, acoustic sets, late night jams. I was hoping this would be the same, but we'll see.

I am looking forward to the road trip with an old friend from high school. And, being at the resort is key. I am doing enough camping this summer.

yeah. see. i don't know about this one. Special guests showing up, i could see (i tend to doubt there will be too much of a surprise though ... i've heard this kind of chatter about multiple shows at this point, & the magical-mystery guests rarely materialize -- cornell & cantrell being exceptions on the west coast) ...

but back to my original line of thought ... i don't know about the "uber-extended" PJ show.
Just *how much* PJ show do you want?

I like a good long show.
State College was truly special (but i think it had more to do with ed being really drunk, the crowd being really energetic, and it just being an "on" night) ...

Spectrum Night 4 was technically "the SHIT" ... but i found myself dozing off a bit towards the end. Literally sleeping? Never. Looking at my watch, needing to pee, wishing i had a beer, and feeling sleepy and "phased" at the length of the show? Yes.

I guess what i'm saying is, i'm sure you'll get a great set of shows at Alpine. I'm sure they'll be at least slightly above average in length. It is surely possible that someone will show up for a song or two (who knows) ... but in terms of them playing for hours and hours? Isn't there a limit to what the FANS can take? Let alone, the band?

I know pushing four hours was pushing it for me, and that sounds sacrilegious,but true. Sweet Lew was a "meh" by the time it rolled around, and thankfully the rest of the songs after that were more or less standards, because i sure was "out of my mind" by that point, and ready for it to be done. I never thought i would be so happy to hear YellowLed, although I was probably a little miffed that the show didn't just end with RITF by that point.

Call me jaded.

Hope Alpine is the shitz.
But if cornell shows up for TOTD shit, i'll have to jump through the computer and murder some folks.


ps - But if he DOES show up, can ya'll please scream for WOODEN JESUS ?!?

Okay dude, I get the point! You don't have to post it 3 times. Just kidding. I should have clarified my statements a bit. I simply don't want two nights in a row of a "standard show." I know, I am spoiled, but I am also spending a good bit of dough on this weekend. I was hoping for more of what Phish does at their weekend jams, as I mentioned in my earlier post. Maybe an acoustic set in the afternoon, a superjam with friends, and so on. Regardless, it is going to be an amazing weekend.

lol @ 3x post response.

I think you have a reasonable chance at getting what you requested.

They did that early acoustic set in boston one year, so i think they may get a little more creative at this festival.

I was just awed that you seemed to be asking for like a 5.5 hour show or something, to which i would have to reply, "give me the dvd, and i'll watch it from home over 3 nights". lol
