    I second and third the motion. We hear the "hits" and love it but go nuts for the more obscure shit. I was at day 1 of PJ20, couldn't make day 2, and if I had to pick one or the other I would have picked day 1 for sure. I love all PJ songs but the rare ones are what make the night magic.

    This is all getting me very excited! Does anybody know how early people line up for the GA box office? It's my first time.

    i've been thinking that Memphis is gonna be 'the' show for months now. a weeknight show, at the birthplace of rock 'n roll, with a strong political significance surrounding the West Memphis 3? the pieces fit together nicely... and not that it matters, but Charlottesville was a tuesday night too. who's going to the preparty?
