Whadyathink?
I mean real die hards, not like the girlfriend of a PJ dude that was standing next to me @ the MIA concert staring at me jumping up and down like I was nuts and feeling like she def didn't belong there and couldn't wait to get in her car and listen to some new pop song on the radio. :fp:

    Lots of nerdy looking dudes.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Maybe it's just me, but I feel as though I'm seeing more female fans my age (early 20s) than I used to when I started listening to PJ seven or eight years ago.

    If this is the case, I definitely need to go to more shows to get some dates! :lol:

    In any case, count me and another friend of mine as die hards. We each have a friend that likes them, but I don't know if I would count them as die hards. I'm trying to think of any guys I know that are still big fans - I can think of one.

    Why do you think I love metal shows? ;)

    For real though I'm starting to notice more female PJ rockers. At MIA there was a girl to my left that was rocking out like CRAZY...she musta been in her mid 20's and knew all the words. It was cool to see and have a fellow female get as into it!

    I'm meeting up with you next time. I didn't get there until 8pm :roll: I was towards the center back and I kept making my way up trying to find the real PJ Fans. :D If that was 20 years ago, I wouldn't have cared about pushing my way thru but at 43 I didn't want my husband in a fight with anyone :lol:

    yeah, I saw an industrial rock metal show this past weekend and was pretty much up front. MAYBE there was one other girl up front (she looked bored out of her mind), my friend had to leave halfway thru, she couldn't handle it.

    I have noticed more and more female PJ fans. Esp at the Wishlist parties. I do agree that most of the ones that are up front look bored though. I kind of think it's a waste of space if they aren't enjoying themselves, let someone who will be rocking out up front...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Definitely!! :D I'm with you...I don't need to be up front, too old for that shit. It's all about the people that you're around is what I think. Next time we need to have a ladies meetup pre-show!!!!
