    He was spot on last year.




    I will never get the bitching. My favorite band decides to do another "festival"-type weekend or an annual show Labor Day weekend at a venue. I think it's pretty damn sweet. Sure, it's not convenient for EVERYONE but they can't be everywhere all the time. Esp. if they're not doing 50 show tours (which I don't blame them- it has to be fucking brutal esp. with young families) and doing short legs then I see an annual thing like this as extremely positive. Regardless of where it is. If they move it- great, if not- great.

    (hopefully) Looking forward to Labor Day weekend!

    Guys,
    Sawyer is absolutely right on this one. It's happening this year AND next year for sure. THESE ARE DONE DEALS!!! Posted this on another thread. My cousin and best friend, both work for Sheriff's dept in Walworth County(home of AV) confirmed this last year to me in February. If you are planning on going, start making plans now.

    if in fact the 3 yr deal is true then i think it will happen. the band has said that pj20 was an "experiment" for future weekend fests. i don't think it will be promoted the same, like i could see them not doing the museum. but if they have a venue that will allow them to do the stuff for ten club members and get tickets for most of us then i think it is a done deal. i think it will probably be the only show this year in the states while they are putting together the new record and all the other stuff going on also.
    nothing as it seems.....

    YAWN on this so-called 3 year deal at the same place.

    The rumor mill on this is making me crazy. I would rather see them do some shows in places they haven't been for awhile (like southern US :shock: ) than do the same thing as last year. Spread the love. :? :mrgreen:

    I couldn't agree more. That's why I find 3 years (let alone 2) at the same venue a complete bore. Like you said, spread the love!

    Just wondering... is there some code of conduct here? Like if I was career forum troll and kept BS'ing other fans about future shows because I thought it was funny... would I get banned?

    Normally I would agree with you here, I really don't like Sawyer... but facts are facts. He posted that PJ20 was a go last year before it was announced, right around this time. He clearly knows someone who works there, so in this situation I think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt. If he is posting that it is a go this year, he probably did have the same person tell him and he truly believes it. So yeah, take that for what its worth.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    If they're going to do something like this again, why not do the Gorge this year?

    Wisconsin was awkward but people thought it was just that one time so they went. Now, it's just an impractical location without a special occasion. :?

    Just curious about the awkward statement. Having never been to the Gorge, is it any easier to get there for people flying in for the show than Alpine is? I would definitely like to experience a show at the Gorge but it seems from looking at maps that it is quite a drive from either Seattle or Spokane.
