    I do as little work as possible so I can conserve all my energy for the show. Either that or I just take a vacation day and don't go to work at all. Or take a weeks off and go to 5 shows!

    HEY!!

    I've ben working like a MADMAN today ... but only so I can cut out of here in about 30 minutes to get to Newark early ...
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    I'm going with not a fucking thing....At least that my case..
    It's funny when things change so much
    It's all state of mind

    Don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff

    You think you hate it now, wait till you drive it...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    In the world?????? You sure have a miss guided perception of how big the world is and how many Pearl Jam fans there are in the entire WORLD......

    A better question would be how much work gets done the day after the Super Bowl or World Cup final.

    I had printed out three different versions of the Utd Palace seating chart and had it pretty much memorized it ... while at work !!!! I was going to leave work at 3:00 but after daydreaming all day I left at 2:00 ... my Boss was going to see Hooty the same night and he was jacked for that ... no one questioned me at all especially since they know I flew to LA in April for the same show.

    Okay, PJ will take third position behind the Super Bowl (US only) & World Cup (outside of the US only though - and its broadcast mid-day in the US so the hangover coefficient is less here).

    Keep in mind this is a PJ site so tours ARE our Bowl and Cup.

    Has anyone really worked since March when the tour tickets went on sale???

    I still dont think I'm completely recovered from attempting to get 10C seats for the shows!

    I'm pretty sure the people I work with think I'm insane-

    By the way I had the best weekend of the summer last weekend. Eddie Vedder on Friday and Saturday in Boston and then twin lobsters on Sunday for my family's birthday. But then again, I went to the PJ Hartford show on a Friday and then left on Saturday morning from my Hartford hotel for Long Beach Island for an awesome vacation at a beach house during 4th of July week. Hmmmm....I've had a good summer so far. :)
