Anyone else have to sit through them after the show? We hit two of them on 28 North. One was right outside the arena, where we sat for nearly three hours. The other was further up the road. Two of them in the matter of about 15 miles. Pricks.

    Nope. I went drinking down the South Side after the show and got there via Oakland and NO problems. Not after the SS either.

    Went down to the Smiling Moose and fond out the other show I wanted to see got cancelled, Ministry. The opening band ended up playing at the Moose for free and one of the members of Ministry sat in with a local band for a song or two!!!

    PJ then a free show at the Moose!!!! An all around KICK ASS night!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have lived here all my life and been thru 1 checkpoint. Guess I am lucky.

    Ministry was cancelled??? Anyone know why? Thought it ironic both were playing the same nite in the 'Burgh. Would have loved to see them but of course PJ is much more important.
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    Never been there myself. Isn't that in Etna or something? Not exactly the place for a decent club or small venue.

    did the cops make fun of your popped collar
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
