After a two hour integration from Canadian customs... Feeling a little bummed out. Ready to get some rest and get ready for tomorrow!
Can't wait for the shows! Ill post a pic of our sign a little later tonight
Great picture you guys!
Less than 3 days!
Anyone flying into Vancouver be prepared for a totally random interrogation. They were treating everyone in that room like they were convicted felons, or prisoners.
We waited through the line, was moved to another line, had people being chosen out of that line, behind us, and no explanation. No reason for being chosen, not even being told we were chosen. The lady near the airport exit said go to A, and we said what? And she's like go to A! And A was the immigration and security check point.
It sucked. Really put a damper on our trip. We were at the airport for almost 2 hours, took a 5 hour flight, 30 min to unload, walk across the airport, wait in the initial security line, waited in baggage claim... And right as we are free we get stuck in there for 2 more hours. Ridiculous. EVeryone there was either immigrating, was foreign, or had 6-7 suitcases. We were the only normal looking people. I really feel I was chosen because I have a beard and long hair. Total bullshit.
Going to sleep it off and get ready to rock!!
And ill be glad to back in the USA. Jesus I never thought I'd be saying that!!

that sucks man. Canada customs just doing their job unfortunately. YVR is a huge hub for immigrants and overseas travellers so if your US arrival gets in the same time as some overseas flights you can get delayed (even as a returning Canadian).
As a Canadian got the same random crap from US customs on the way to a convention in Vegas. Only time i have ever been interrogated. their job is to make you feel like a criminal!
Just the way it is unfortunately...
IF NOTHING IS EVERYTHING, I'LL HAVE IT ALL.

Speaking of customs... yeah they are just doing their job... Ive heard/seen the same thing happen with Canadians going into the US... my wife for example was "kicked" out of the US She was headed back to New York (which she lived in for 2 years) Dec 31, 2001 after coming home for a couple weeks for Christmas... made it on a flight from Vancouver to Toronto... then went to make the connection from Toronto to New York... got pulled into a room and was interrogated for 4 hours by US Customs... they never said why... but they would not allow her back into the US?? And my wife is the farthest thing from a terrorist looking woman Like 5'1" 100lbs caucasian... not scary looking at all And she has no criminal record and never had any run ins with the law either
Anyways back on topic..... PEARL JAM TOMORROW!!!!!!

Sorry you're bummed, but yeah, our customs are strict, and actually that's just fine with me! They pick people for further interrogation randomly sometimes. Don't take it personally. A LOT of smugglers (of all kinds of things) come into Vancouver, and a LOT of people seeking to work without a work visa come to Vancouver too, so they can be a bit hard core. I'm surprise you are so unhappy about our country because of it! It's boarder patrol, not Canada! That is the only place you'll run intk anything like that! BTW, US customs treats Canadians the same way if not worse. No difference at all. You don't get it from them because you're an american citizen.

Sorry you're bummed, but yeah, our customs are strict.
When I crossed over into Ontario for the London show all I had to do was name three PJ albums (and I recited them all from Ten to Backspacer), and then told them the date Lightning Bolt was to be released when they asked.
Some strict folks there . Must have run into a PJ fan.

The Vancouver airport is particularly strict because it's a major hub for illegals coming in and international smugglers. Most of the land crossings aren't bad at all.

Hey
Not down on Canada. Love Canada!
Just an extremely long day. When your ten steps from the door outside the airport, after 7-8 hours of being in a plane, other airport, cab etc... It just made a Long day longer.
Already napped and feel better...I really did feel bad for some foreign people that could speak no English being interrogated by the officers... Seemed excessive, same with my situation, but I get it..
Having the show and all the travel time made me stress a little more, I just wanted out of there!!
It's all said and done.. Now it's time to rock out in GA.... TONIGHT!!!!!

Hey everyone - where are people even lining up for GA? I thought we could enter through any gate to get in - are they opening one up early specifically for GA ticket holders? I haven't seen this kind of set up at GM place before.
The pit seems like it will be pretty small so I didn't think we'd need to get there early...but now I see people talking about lining up first thing in the morning and it's making me stressed out! Oh well - we'll have a great view anyways
ga lineups are always at the south side of rogers arena by the canucks team store... i believe its gate 7..
i plan to be there about 3pm...had the rail once in my lifetime back in 03...ill be happy within 3 rows or so
I had a ugly 250 pound immigration chick at my land crossing into Vancouver. She looked like a bad canadian version of one of them fugly shaws of sunset. I told her i was going to see pearl jam. She said why? I took the glasses off and flashed the green eyes and told her,"because that is the greatest band in the world." She said "Enjoy Canada sir".
Hour later I was in the new amsterdam cafe on hastings vapping the night away with sum winter ice kush. Folowed by a porchetta at Meat and Bread right around the corner on cambrie.
Now if I can only get off new york time and stop waking up at 4:30 every morning.
Here is our updated sign for Seattle and Vancouver!!
(40 shows is my 34 plus Kelly's 6 that she saw before we got together)
That equals 40 total shows with no Rival!!
Will be in GA in Vancouver with it
See everyone there!!
I cant wait to hear Eddie talk to you guys, TONIGHT!!!!

They have to open with Pendulum...Ican't wait!!
