    Nice to see the Timber City well represented on 'The Porch'.

    My husband and I are from Maquoketa, too!! Well, he is from Maquoketa, I am from Andrew!

    Well, I feel very lucky to be one of the many PJ fans from Jackson County! (Never thought I'd say I was happy to be from there :-) ) So, an acoustic show from the Caves? Sounds good to me!!! There is even camping! Ha ha
    Bump for all of Eastern Iowa!

    I grew up just north of some you in Dubuque.

    Anyhow, a show in Des Moines would be great and a huge draw. I would prefer Iowa City at Carver but that won't happen. So hopefully a show at Wells Fargo this year!

    BTW....I frequently lurk (occasionally post) on an Iowa sports message board. There was a thread on the off topic board about seeing a band multiple times last month and I threw in I have seen PJ 52 times. Some guy then asked if I happened to be from Maquoketa, LOL.

    I am pretty sure that per capita, Maquoketa probably has one of the highest rate of PJ fans! So many people I know love this band!

    It only makes sense because they haven't played in Iowa in a while and Wells Fargo Arena is a pretty good venue, and downtown Des Moines is very underrated. It's also within driving distance of most other major Midwestern cities. It's a slam dunk. But you're right, I will be traveling :D anywhere else they play (hopefully) in the Midwest.

    Saw the chili peppers at Wells Fargo and it was great.

    But don't get carried away, downtown Des Moines suck unless you are use to living in Ottumwa or some other god awful place. :lol:
    I agree. I live in Ottumwa,so downton Des Moines or anywhere would be GREAT.

    I hope PJ understands how much of the potential they would be missing out if they didn't play here. It would be a great setting.
