fuck ya! Vedder was a fucking maniac that night, jumping and spinning around the stage and he sounded the best i have ever heard him live . Great fuckin show and the crowd was incredibly loud throughout the entire set

Kitchener was a lot of fun...has it been a year since my last vacation? :(

Awesome weekend!!!!!! Great shows!!! And I'm one of the two that PatrickSaintIII made reference to. Have a little son, Mason Vedder to show for it! Hey Bill and Gina.
that was a great show.. a great place to start off our little 3 day Canadian excursion!!
couldnt agree more. i spent today listening to kitchener. me and my friend brendan spent 8 hours driving up from long island. great trip involving, pot-tea, pepto-bismol and jelly on wheat. we listened to the gorge acoustic set when we drove off round 6am. lowlight hit as the sun rose. (as opposed to setting at the actual show) it was hard enough finding a beer store once in canda, however we were finally able to secure a twelve of moosehead, only for the box to break once walking to the hotel (not the walper but right across from it)
and once at the pre-party we were fortunate enough to meet some beautiful people. ESPECIALLY the lovely laura (quoted above)
this night was soo special just being the first night and being in such a small venue. maybe a more typical set, but very strong at the same time and certainly and incredible crowd. im soo thankfull to have been there. it definitely took me far away from what happened a few miles west of here 4 years earlier (5 years ago today). this is my first post in weeks (possibly months). its good to be back. i look forward to posting tomorrow bout the great night i had a year ago (9/12/05 london)!
till then

The folks at the Walper were extrememly accommodating...
...definitely, one of my favorite shows.

You know, last night in Paris, I was next to exactly the same person (Mexican touring buddy) as I was in Kitchener 365 days before that. That was so cool. I didn't know I would meet him and then suddenly there he was. Hearing Hide Your Love Away really took me back to what was the first song I ever saw Eddie perform.
Tell me about it...I have a mortgage, a 1 1/2 year old and 12 fewer posts per day.

Remember the hotel in London - all of those people hanging out in the lobby waiting for the manager to let us check in?
Remember it? I seem to recall you laying into him quite a bit.
I actually had his card at my desk until a few months ago...I always intended to write or call to complain.

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about my tirade. I too had intentions to complain to "higher ups" but when we checked out he was all humble and apologetic and made me feel sorry for him so I never followed up.

''The Beer Store'' another fun memory. Coolers lite was on sale I remember. Also discovered Stella Artois Belgium beer, good stuff.
Oh yea and the shows was great also, the start of 5 shows in a row.

Haha. Everything is different now. I haven't been to a PJ show since 2006!!! My daughter is 4 now. I miss the smell of beer in the morning.
Maybe I am itching for a real Pearl Jam tour. Maybe.

That tour was the coolest thing that the band ever did for us people who don't like crossing the border for shows
Loved the Walper Terrace Hotel, had a blast at the pre-party and post-party. Met some new people who have since become good Pearl Jam friends.
Remember the hotel in London - all of those people hanging out in the lobby waiting for the manager to let us check in? Oh but it was worth it.
