    Speaking of, what happened to @MikeDigs??
    Recently I was wondering where some members went. Some people posted regularly for years and then just disappeared.

    Hi, my name is Julie and I’m a PJholic.  :bawling:

    Not gonna lie, this is gonna take a while to recover from.

    I feel like my work will be so productive now without all the F5-ing, ticket hustling and anticipation. This is no good folks.

    Let’s hope we get an announcement about EV & Earthlings soon to ease the pain. 😭

    Also, Ohana is coming, so that’s sweet 🌊

    Hi Julie. It was so great meeting you in Pittsburgh. I will be at N1 of Ohana. We need to hang out again.

    I also hate when all your PJ tickets in TM move from upcoming events to past events. It’s always so comforting seeing your tickets in that upcoming events page. Then they are gone 😢

    Sucks right now but I'm trying to look on the bright side and see the positive of a year off. I still got cc debt from the '24 and now '25 tours.

    Man, we are a dedicated Crew as I too did A LOT of driving 

    NJ to Hollywood, Florida

    Florida to Atlanta

    Atlanta back home to NJ (gave me a chance to recharge the old batteries for about a week) then

    NJ to Raleigh

    Raleigh to NJ ( for about 48 hours) then

    NJ to Pittsburgh

    Pittsburgh back home to NJ

    Good thing for me they went to New Orleans BEFORE Nashville because I probably would've drove there from Atlanta since it is about a 3hour drive or so.

    I haven't' calculated the Total Mileage, and I may not want to=LOL. But I have no regrets driving to see some really good shows. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

    I'm actually not missing it yet (probably because I'm still too tired to=HA) but I'm sure I will soon.

    I haven't had it bad in a few years, been blessed to catch quite a few shows in the 2021 - 2025 window. Pretty much always knew when the next one was when leaving the last one.  Being in Pit on Sunday night and realizing it's the end of this run, hearing the band say it, now it's hitting pretty hard.....I have no idea when the next one will be, and that really bums me out.

    1/2 way down to ATL i was getting delirious and thought im not gonna make it as I left at 6pm, not much sleep from night before due to packing, work and excitement.....It was rough....Raleigh saved my ass as it broke up my return trip and a hell of a show! It can be rough but once you see people and start having fun its great. nashville i spent a week there, had a cool Townhouse,,,, weather was crap mostly. wanted to play golf....I have a lease up in February with plenty of miles, so i didnt care, but i think no more over 8 hour trips....after 8 its really a pain in the ass

    Glad you had a great time

    It's been 4 weeks since Hollywood 1 for me and Saturday will mark a full month since Hollywood 2.  To curb my post show depression I've been very busy with listening to all my boots in reverse order this time, and updating my MP3 collection (it's finally complete and organized perfectly) and corresponding spreadsheet. 

    I finally tried out the LiveFootsteps.Org site and use that as my new PJ Bible (PJ needs to hire someone to clean up their tour history and song list), and I also downloaded the Pearl Jam Stat Tracker app too.  After this weekend I'll give them a break until the next tour starts up probably.  I have some new music to check out and my next show will be Jerry Cantrell at the House of Blues in Disney Springs.  

    By the way...a Lost Dogs 2 (or 'Stray Cats' if they can legally do it) surprise release this Summer would be very nice.  They could easily have another great double album.  Not including all of the Holiday Singles not already on Lost Dogs, I can think of 18 tracks to showcase.  My list below doesn't include instrumentals, quasi-instrumentals ('Chinese'), demos*, unpolished originals, or other oddities like the 'I'm Still Here' spoken word mystery track.  I know most or all of these have now been released in some fashion, but it would be great to package them all together for us.

    1990-1991 - 2,000 Mile Blues, Breath and a Scream* (I usually don't collect demos but I like this one), Evil Little Goat, Just a Girl, Acoustic #1, Brother (w/ vocals), Touch Me I'm Dick (not officially PJ, but close enough)

    1992-1997 - Breath, SOLAT, I Got Id, Long Road, Leatherman

    2003-2020 - Man of the Hour, Of the Earth, Ole, All the Way, Can't Deny Me, Get it Back

    Rock on until next tour people!  It's been a fun couple of months!
