    being in St. John's I had the closest seats ever for seeing PJ...i wouldnt say I am spoiled as I didnt use my TC# for night 1...i ended up having 3rd and 5th row for the weekend...i think the spoiled ones are the ones who get great seats night after night...it would be nice to have hometown senority, as I think all fans should be able to experience being close on the floor at least once.

    Yeah..I'd love to see the hometown thing happen. I'll still love seeing them in places like Montreal..but now that I've had a taste of the good life, I'd be sad if I didn't get to be close like that again..but..at least I got it a couple of times.

    Yeah...you were almost right behind me...the 2 girls were like 3 people down in the row ahead of me. Should have worn your screen name on your shirt. Hahhaha!!

    I think I had 5 or 6 people to the left of me. It was a pretty good row!
    :D I thought of that - even if I recognize someone from a picture here or something (which I didn't), what am I gonna say "hey are you sward? I'm SweetRelief, do you recognize that name at all?" :p

    They *were* great seats...unfortunately I got extremely dehydrated and crashed half way through the night, after that I just watched without being able to sing or scream or do my crazy dance.

    Ah well, made up for lost time during night 2. Eddie actually watched me go nuts for a minute and laughed at me. :D Good times!

    So many people met the band members in St John's, it's crazy! My husband and I saw Jeff shopping - he was alone but talking to 3 fans and I froze, I didn't know what to do. Finally we just said Hi Jeff and waved and he looked over, gave us the hugest smile and yelled Hi guys! as if he'd known us forever. Completely made my year. I know, doesn't take much. :o

    :eek:

    Would have made my LIFE :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I guess i was unlucky. I went downtown a few times to see if i could see them out around. But no luck. I walked through the delta a couple of times and went up to the executive suite area in the new wing where they were supposed to be staying, but no luck. I didn't want to seem like a stalker or something so i didn't hang around or anything, just quickly walked around to see if they were out and about in the hotel. If/when they come back, i'll have to be more agressive or something and be sure that i meet them!

    I didn't see them either. I wasn't in the right place at the right time!

    I met them all at the Delta. My friends and I decided to grab a beer at the pub/restaurant in the hotel and we sat out on the little patio area they have inside (by the elevators)...sure enough...we got to meet them all

    No way! Damn it! I know where you're talking about. I stayed around there too for a little bit, but not long.....obviously not long enough.

    What day was that?

    It was on the Saturday. We weren't even there that long..and didn't expect to run into any of the band...but we got a chuckle because we saw people walking the halls looking for the guys and when these people went up the elevator, out walks Eddie Vedder....after we met him and he walked out, the elevator opened up and the people came out with no idea what they missed. I didn't have the heart to tell them. A little luck goes a looooooong way! Haha

    Edit: Meant to mention that it was around 3:30 - 4 that we saw them (on the way to soundcheck)

    I was probably one of the fools that went up the elevator when Eddie came out. Just my luck!

    thanks kleh.. some kind of memories!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    I'll never forget that weekend man. I listen to the show all the time, by the way. Some really great moments throughout; My favs being Eddies lyric change in 'Do the Evolution', "Live from St. John's, It's Saturday Night" and 'Present Tense'.

    Just incredible and now all I can really think about is seeing them again. I must see them again. The only problem is they'll likely never come back here. I hope to be in Vancouver very soon though so, I'll have a much better chance of seeing them there. Still, it won't ever compare to the Newfoundland Pearl Jam Experience and I'd die to have it happen again.
