got a hook up from a friend..wasnt even gonna go but glad I just went to hang with everyone at Coogans..(Touchofgray16..I missed you last nite but I dot even know what you look like so lets hang tonite!) I got mine for way under face and soo many fans last nit up until 8:30 couldnr even get 10 bucks for their spare. Kinda sux that you have to eat 80 bucks. I'm not one to complain about tenclub cause Im not even a fanclub member but wow...felt really bad for a few people out there. If ed does another solo tour ever again or PJ for that matter I think we should try some new methods of tix distribution..just as an experiment as ed would say or did last nite. Thats my only semi beef Oh and having Eds bouncer tell us all last night he would come out and sign one item each and hang..and in the end after 2 plus hours of waitin all we got was a Hey guys a handshake or 2 and right on the bus...Come on ed...you can do us a lil better than that..Talk to mike, he;ll tell ya..we dont bite! :d
Other than that All I wanted to do was Thank ed for a tribute to my boy who passed by playing I am Mine and Moth...so if you're reading it ed..Thank you You made my nite..oh and Let my love open the Door??? THANK YOU!!!!...and just a great vibe, setlist and saying I thought we left the assholes in Boston. CLASSIC!!! lmfao!!
crowd was well behaved and he appreciated it

see you all tonite for one last show until...............

PJ WORLDWIDE TOUR 09!!! :D
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

  • Are you saying people couldn't get rid of their 10c extra? That's just ridiculous.

    Yeah, there were a few 10c empty seats around me too (in rows 6 & 7) and there were people all over the board yesterday trying to offload extras. I'm considering heading up tonight to try and get a ticket (not to rip anyone off, but to go again cause it was so friggin cool!).

    i was walking around at 815 yelling "free orchestra ticket!!!" and the only person who wanted it was a scalper.

    i also ate $90. it sucked.
    it's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind...

    I think the problem is they don't advertise beforehand...most people who don't have a ticket don't bother going right before the show to get one-they assume they're spoken for. Just post it online a couple days in advance!

    In seattle in 02 some guy GAVE me a ticket before the show. I offered him money but he wouldn't take it!

    I think it would be different if the venue was in a different area... midtown, downtown etc, I think more people would be more likely to "swing by" to check out if there were any tix going.

    so tix were cheap

    doesnt that mean the ticket situation was GOOOOOOOOD

  • No, the problem is, is that the venue is in washington heights, way uptown in manhattan on 175th street....venues that they would play like MSG, Hammerstein, Nokia etc etc are mostly midtown between 30th-50th (except beacon), and its a looooong train ride

    I wonder why tix were so hard to get rid of! STB and I had trouble finding tix for Vancouver night 2. I can't see why people wouldn't want to go! If I lived in New York (or nearby) I would SO be there tonight!

    I think it's just to do with the location of the venue... it's about as far uptown as you can get, it's quite a hike.

    yea pretty much, and on a monday and also The Police was playing last night so Im sure even the so so pj fans decided to do that..many factors, not a great neighborhood, the fact that people kinda already know what the setlists gonna be like even tho eds thrown a few curveballs like last night.
    lets see how it goes tonite.
