    Walking in Brussels just 2 days after seeing Pearl Jam in Amsterdam, wearing a Pearl Jam shirt and having some guy ask me "hey man, is PJ playing here or something?" I responded by telling him they were playing 20 minutes away by train (at Rock Werchter) and he says to the girl with him, "oh wow. Honey, can we go please?" I didn't have the heart to tell him it was sold out. :lol:

    I love the worldwide PJ connections...

    Looking back on all the times I've seen the band and realizing that one of my most memorable road trips was September 21-23rd 1996. I was going to see the band play in Toledo, Ohio at Savage Hall for my second time with a group of buddies. Then it dawns on me... I'm seeing the band next weekend on a trip from September 21-23rd 2012 in Atlanta!

    If someone would have told me back in 1996 at the Toledo show that I would see the band on this same weekend 16 years from now I would have laughed in their face!

    I guess I need to be more positive.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I was driving around today, and I happened to turn on WMMR. I usually am listening to my PJ boots in the car, but decided to take a break and listen to the radio instead. Just as I tuned in, the deejay announced that they were doing a block of PJ!! They started out with the live Wishlist from the last Spectrum concert in '09, then played RVM, Given to Fly, Jeremy, and Just Breathe. I was very very happy!! :D:D

    I wish I had a radio station that wanted to play blocks of PJ. :( The best thing we can get is that the Current here in MN (indie radio station) plays blocks of Neil.

    This morning I was reading a book I recently borrowed from the library where I work, called "Sea Change". You can only imagine the huge smile on my face as I read this part: "I walked over to the reference desk and the librarian looked up. She appeared to be older than me, yet I noticed she had an earbud stuck into her left ear and what sounded like a tinny version of Pearl Jam leaking out the other bud". Well, reading this just made my day! (My husband is constantly telling me that I'm easily amused! :lol: )

    Holy shit...Gangnam Style. Haha...its not Pearl Jam, but wow, it put a smile on my face today (the first time I saw it) :lol::lol::lol: .

    On a PJ note, how awesome is it when Ed's talking about (on PJ20) who put Pearl Jam next to Ticketmaster, and then off-stage, they show Neil laughing it up? Its pretty, pretty, pretty good.

    1. Europe 2012 - The entire tiresome 9 days, 6 shows, 5 cities. The friendships that are forever held within my heart. The moments of absolute joy/sadness/overwhelmed emotion and the tears. Oh, the tears.

    There are so many positives, but in no particular order...

    (1) The opening of my first PJ show -Wembley 96 - the band walks out in near darkness. Ed walks over to a large bowl of incense & lights it. I was about 10-12 people from the front & the smell/smoke drifted over. It was very strong and distinctive. I think I can still smell it now. Seconds later the band starts with Oceans...

    (2) Bringing my wife and two day old daughter home from the hospital in the afternoon, getting them settled in and looked after with a family member and jumping into the car and driving straight to Wembley for the show in June 07 for what was a very emotional night.

    (3) Seeing 3 shows in a week this June (Manchester 1 & 2, Amsterdam 1) and sharing those days with two of my oldset friends.

    Aaagh, where to start???.....

    This afternoon, on the bus home from work, listening to music on shuffle & tears coming to my eyes when listening to Hunger Strike from a fan recording of PJ20, then tears in my eyes again when Betterman came on from the other night at PJ20 as well. Still so amazing I was there!!

    Other biggest positivity is the camaraderie, the community, on the Europe tour this year. :)
