Got my Holy Grail for my birthday today!

So my birthday isn't until Sunday. However, my girlfriend (who was new to the Pearl Jam scene before she met me. She totally embraces and even encourages my obsession.) bought my birthday present a month ago and has been chomping at the bit to give it to me. I finally relented and let her give me my present early. I open up the clothing box surely to find a nice sweater or jacket. Instead, looking back at me... The poster I've been searching for, for years. Sure, I've seen it on ebay a few times. Every time I saw it there my palms grew sweaty as I bid on it, only to get outbid with an outlandish price (this poster is kinda rare). Seeing it for the first time in person was literally breathtaking. This poster was from my very first show. 10/17/2000. The date will be ingrained into my brain until my dying breath. The poster is so rare because it was the Texas poster that was made for all 4 Texas shows, and only 1200 were made, meaning only 300 were available per show. Oh, and it's S/N!!!! 











Here's to Pearl Jam fans and the women who put up with (and sometimes love) the 'Faithful'!

Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Happy Birthday!
I AM very lucky. Her favorite band is Sonic Youth, so it's nice to keep it in the family.
Hopefully you two weren't bidding against each other
Happy Birthday and when's the wedding?
She said she thought about that so she paid the 'buy it now' price just to get it and get it off there.
Let's wait til she sees me at an actual PJ show (let alone 5 in a row) and see what she thinks then...
