The title says it all. My fiancé Nissa just always makes me smile, like no other person I have ever met. It would be a great treat for her to hear live. We are still on cloud 9 since getting engaged in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. I have been to about 25 PJ shows and she has been to 7, and we are yet to hear it live.
I know there is a very small chance that the band, or their crew will read this, but I am going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Either way, we are still going to have a great time north of the border. :D
Thanks,
Brian

    Congrats to you as well Glentazman. Awesome that we are on the same page with Smile. Cool that you are taking her to her first PJ show. Maybe you should have proposed to her after her 1st PJ show just to make sure she likes the show. :lol: , jk. I am sure you guys will have a blast.
    Also, thanks Juan Godoy for the kinds words.

    I am glad to hear my fiancé and I aren't the only ones who like "Smile." This great song is not played often enough.

    Last day of work until we take off for Vancouver...I can't believe it is only 11:10am. This is almost like waiting for Christmas as a kid...pure excitement and anticipation. :D

    They should definitely play Smile. They should dedicate it to everyone who has a significant other that makes them smile! Mr. Guitar59 has made me smile for 22 years. Lets hope you and Nissa are smiling at each other 22 years from now, too!

    I like how he is Mr. Guitar59. Maybe Nissa should change her name to Mrs. Bosshogg18. :lol: Thanks for the kind words. I hope we are still smiling after 22 years as well.

    I hope they play it for you guys!
    Too bad Glen Hansard won't be around to sing it along with the band, he really nailed it at Alpine Valley Day 2 :D

    Love Glen Hansard. Biggest goosebumps ever at a show (Portland and Seattle) is when Eddie and Glen did a duet on Falling Slowly. I hadn't even heard of him before the Eddie Vedder shows. I am glad he opened up for him, because Glen is very talented and all class.

    "Smile" because Pearl Jam plays tonight in Vancouver. We can't wait. It will also be nice to meet some new and long time friends at the pre-party.

    Ahh, that was awesome that they played it. Eddie said this one goes out to a dedication, so who knows, but I am going to optimistically say that it was for Nissa. Thanks to all that believed and kept this thread going. This makes us smile :D

    Congrats! I'll bet they had you two in mind. :)

    I finally got to see it at Alpine Valley for my 14th show. It was probably the most special moment of the weekend for me.
