We were sitting directly behind in AA second row and it seemed they all knew each other..The girls were okay but the dudes acted as if they were too cool and couldn't be bothered..Also, right behind us sat the planted 'who are you voting for' guys which was amusing..

    So you must have been directly behind us being that the section only had approximately 6 seats across..I apologize for getting up in front of you about a thousand times, but the beer Ed chose from the Chelsea Brewery was too fucking good ;)..

    That is totally uncalled for and will be met with wrath from the moderators. They are friends with Jill and huge fans of the band (and Eddie). Please keep this kind of negativity out of here, as a comment like that is totally unnecessary and does not benefit anyone.

    No, I am not the Pit Police, but I can tell you that there is no place for this nonsense around here.

    Thanks in advance!
    For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    but why is it okay to say someone else sucks (Chris Cornell, Ben Harper, Tim Robbins, etc.), but NOT okay to say the Olsens suck?!? I don't have an opinion, but I would guess to say that Ed really likes Ben Harper, too.

    I understand that we should really stay away from our opinions on the band's personal lives (themselves) and family, but if you thought the Olsens "sucked" before they were so out-and-out PJ/EV fans, why can't you think they suck (and say so) now? I see this come up every time someone mentions their names, and I am just wondering. Hope I don't get the thread closed by asking!!!

    No offense, JamilyMan...

    Take care,
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    Take care,

    And my response would be that it is not really okay to encourage others to "boo" anyone that attends any of the concerts. For example, I was at the Boston II show when Eddie pointed out and sent a shout out to Howard Z in the audience. Right near him was a heavily disguised Theo E. Being a Yankees fan, I would not think it proper to "boo" Theo, just because I am not a fan. If I saw a thread asking people to "boo" Theo, I would have done the same.

    I just think we need to live and let live a little more than some people do around here. So, you are not a fan of the Olsens, Theo, Howard Z, Dennis R, Susan S, Tim R, whomever... that does not give you license to "boo" them. I really don't see any good that comes from it; only bad.

    If others feel strongly otherwise, I would love to hear a valid point to argue why it would be a good idea to "boo" someone. If there is a valid reason that makes sense, I suppose I might have a better time understanding why people feel the need to propogate such behavior. Otherwise, I will continue to discourage such behavior... unless Cheney or Bush show up at a concert... then all bets are off. BOO AWAY!

    Sorry, JamilyMan! I should have added that the "booing" suggestions is kind of silly, but I do think he/she was joking.

    I had seen on several other threads where people got warned by other members to not bash the Olsens. That was where my question arose from...

    It is hot as Hades here in Georgia, so I might be loosing brain cells as we speak. :)

    Take care,

    It would appear from many previous threads that we have enough problems this year containing the a$$holes that are more interested in shouting out crap during the show, making 10+ beer runs and generally managing to reduce the enjoyment for 'real' fans.

    To start a booing crusade against people (however pointless they are in real life) who are there just enjoying the show would be extremely unproductive in my opinion. Sorry, just my $0.02 worth.

    Hey, I probably made about 7 beer/bathroom runs but did my best to not distract the people around me ;)..
