    I checked some almanac site last night

    http://www.ersys.com/usa/42/4261000/distance.htm

    Philadelphia to Pittsburgh - 257 miles.
    Pittsbugh to Cincinnati - 257 miles.

    Damn, thats not too bad. I thought it would be worse. I used to be able to make it from here to Penn State in under 3 hours , and thats 200 miles. Looking like a 4-5 hour drive....not too bad.

    The 5th might not be a bad idea, Im just thinking of going out the day of the show so as to save my vacation days. I'll have to see if there are any flights that Wednesday night.

    550 miles at 80mph = about 7 hours. Ya figure most of it is on the wonderful PA Turnpike, so as long as there are no accidents, yeah right, it shouldnt be too bad.

    For folks on the fence.....

    You should do what makes you happy and what you can afford, but remember (and I beat this drum all the time): young, established, no kids, unattached, a summer Pearl Jam tour.....times like these don't happen all the time and you gotta live like a rockstar when you can. By next year, I'm betting one or more of ya will be hooked up, hitched, about to have a kid, tied down financially by house, etc (and those are very high-meaning things), but that window of opp will be closed.

    I know this will show the WV in me, but you gotta make hay while the sun shines (whether the field is in Vegas, Gorge, Europe, or wherever).

    I can't do Vegas; a buddy of mine asked me to go with him & his wife and I told them no (it'd hurt their feelings big time if I went to Vegas for Pearl Jam). I won't feel right. So, yeah. Natty, Gorge. I liked Matt's intinerary. I have family out there that I hardly know so it'd be a great opp for me to hang with them and do all the cool stuff Matt mentioned.

    For Natty, yeah it's a hike if you're going to drive. If ya'll carpool, it'll be far cheaper. It's gonna be a great show and the afterparty will rock.

    With that, go be a rockstar.

    I really wish I could make Cincy, but unless I can find someone to give me a ride to Dayton to take the 6:45 A.M. flight to Philly it doesn't seem plausible.

    I like Bubba's idea about pitt and cincy... just wondering what kind of flight we can get out of OH on that sunday. Looks like pitt would be like $70 so another 100 for the return flight wouldn't be that bad I guess.

    Guess you were looking at Airtran joe...

    Presale is on Sunday. Im enthusiastic because after my experience there last year, I said I would always go back to the Gorge to see them. I seriously had the time of my life. 3+ hours of Pearl Jam at the Gorge.....you have no idea how amazing it is out there. Its so quiet and peaceful, you must do it! Ill even buy the poptarts :D

    This is EXTREMELY tempting! I will put a lot of thought into this and hopefully come up with an answer soon! It sounds awesome there! And you're buying the poptarts??? Hmmm...that just might be the deciding factor!

    Julie, I'd love to do fanchfest, but I really don't know if I can do that one! If I can do one, I think I'd go for the Gorge! Originally I wanted to do Vegas, but I think it will just be too much money to go to Vegas for 4th of July weekend! How about you?

    Exactly, that's why joe would need a ride to Dayton to catch the 6:45 flight on airtran back to Philly...
    We could take amtrak :D $75 from natti to Philly--- 16 hours

    $238 is what I found flying from Philly to Pittsburgh and then from Dayon to Philly.

    Would have to factor in rental car for 2 days as well.

    It's doable, but going to be pricey. Now if I just drive to Pittsburgh and skip Cincy it would be a lot cheaper.

    I have to be physically back in Philly by 10 A.M. the morning of the 25th so it's really cramping my Cincy attendance.
