    I learned:

    PJ fans have fantastic memories - on at least 3 separate occasions some total stranger would walk up to me and be like, "Hey, weren't you at the Chicago shows 2 years ago?" :shock: I was impressed.
    Always bring hand sanitizer when you go camping. :?
    Sleeping on the ground for 3 days actually made my neck feel better.
    The only good cell phone charging station at Alpine is a wall outlet in the Expo center. :lol:
    PJ fans certainly are generous...I was amazed at the amount of stuff people donated at the preparty and the amount of raffle tickets that were flying out of there...who knows how much got raised for charity, or how much that bar made in sales over the course of the evening!
    PJ fans are also one gigantic family...all weekend I was just chatting with total strangers from all over the world, we shared food and stories, we would see a person with a PJ shirt at the campground and just wave...it was awesome.

    I learned that I should never ever attend a concert without Sheila0225 or daneski70 again.

    RKCNDY is adorable and unlost dogs is just as funny in real life!

    I should spend more time at the tailgate and less time listening to the opening bands :roll:

    Dimi really does exist! :shock:

    There should be a destination weekend every month...or every year at least.

    It can be pouring rain and I can still have the time of my life.

    There are tons of you that I still need to meet. Get your asses to Philly!

    -I can still drink like I'm in college- back to back 12 hour benders

    -I cannot recover from these back to back 12 hour benders like I used to- I'm finally starting to feel human again today

    -PJ fans are the fucking best! Met so many cool people from all over the world.

    I don't think so. I was at the tailgate for a bit on Saturday in the purple raincoat...and on Sunday for a while too. Did I meet you? :lol:

    Not sure, but if I did I feel bad that I don't remember, and if I didn't I feel bad that I didn't. I was at the tailgate a lot on Saturday.

    I really regret not spending more time at the tailgate. We need a do-over because I keep realizing how many people I didn't meet! :(

    I'm the opposite. I slightly regret not going in earlier on Saturday, but I can't say no to awesome tailgating :mrgreen:

    I learned that I met London Bridge for only 2 milliseconds...unlost introduced him as: "this is London Bridge, he does not live n London nor does he own a bridge!" and then LB said "shhh! you're gonna blow my cover!" then promptly ran away.

    I learned that my initial thoughts of regretting the shit out of not going were indeed correct :cry:
    so fucking sad I missed this epic weekend
    We were but stones your light made us stars

    But in the same breath, I'm really thrilled to hear that all of you had such a good time :P

    I think it's accurate to say I learned a fair amount this weekend.

    1. I learned that ryeZupSF took her name from whiskey, not from rye bread. (I am a big fan of rye bread.)
    2. My friends taught me many new things. These things clarified for me why certain threads were locked.
    3. Piggly Wiggly stores sell t-shirts, and they are fine t-shirts indeed
    4. If you put enough PJ fans under a 10x10 canopy in the rain, someone's gonna end up with a shot of alcohol-infused whipped cream on their face
    5. People are naturally interested in women who carry teddy bears around a concert venue
    6. No matter how much the band puts their heart and soul into a performance, someone will bitch
    7. I can drink many beers throughout the day, but I will stop in time to assure I am completely lucid and in control when the boys step onto the stage, and I will not ever _ EVER _ need a pee break
    8. The average height of female PJ 10C members is 5'2"
    9. It's a great feeling to roam around a strange place and hear, "Hey! Unlost!" And it will make me :D every time
    10. A Facebook account might not be such a bad idea after all. :shock:
