    I'm bloody nervous as my tickets haven't arrived yet.! Seetickets tracker said they were posted Thursday, so should get them tomorrow, Did everyone else's come via 1st Class mail?, because I am not at home tomorrow, out before Mr Postman arrives. Getting the jitters man!

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Hmmm, this particular thread is becoming a bit slow, has everybody crashed after the initial excitement and conserving energy for thurs, or are you all workshy fops who use the internet at work ;)

    I'm at about the 75 mark - if I get over excited, the show has a chance of being a slight let down otherwise. will be nearer the 90 mark come the day though!

    went for a great 6 mile walk with my lady around the woods and countryside today, reminded me there's more to life and I'm feeling pretty contented tonight :)

    trying to forget I have to work tues/wed, before another 4 day weekend :)

    about 75 at the moment, until my tickets come (hopefully tomorrow) then it will all become reality and burst through the Pearl Jam Excito-meter (tm).

    I know it sucks. I have to work tomorrow :( My boss was nice though and let me have the rest of the week off at short notice so I can't complain too much. I bet it's going to drag tomorrow though like never before.

    I'm at the 80 mark I think. Creeping up one step though each minute :D Tomorrow will dip then shoot up again I hope!!

    my word, I bet there will be a thread or two discussing the show!! Hope you all have a great time but I think I will find it quite cathartic once the date has passed!!

    £150 for that ticket will be snapped from your hands... and your being fair all the while :)

    I really feel I should go to bed and sleep, early start with work in the morning but feel far too hyper to do so. I hate dilemma's :D Especially one's involving sleep.
