Of the Earth in Greenville for Ethan

in The Porch
I know there's a snowballs chance in hell but I'd be remiss not to ask. My twelve year old son is Ethan. He has loved PJ since he was old enough to listen. His favorite song by far is Of the Earth. He was displeased when I did not take him to Pensacola and they played it. He was in tears when they played it in JAX and he was unable to attend. He doesn't have any life threating disease or disability. He just goes NUTS over this song. He is a very talented drummer and especially loves the interaction of Matt and the rest of the band during this song. He is in sixth grade band percussion and takes private lessons from his band teacher to improve his craft. Please consider this for Greenville and think of the JAX performance as a great warm up. Make a kid's night. Make a true fan's night. Make everyone's night in Greenville! Thank you for your consideration.
Kindest Regards,
Charles

    Get him up front with a sign - that seems to work well these days.

    We have reserved seats through ten club but I'll make a small sign for him to carry. If it carries any weight I'm an Army veteran with active duty service in Bosnia. Definitely not an officer just a hard working enlisted man.

    I have a kid the same age and can imagine the impact of hearing your favorite song played (requested by your parent) on someone that age! Could be life changing really especially since he's also a musician. I hope they play it. (And I love the song too) Have a great time!!

    Thank you so much I took him to Memphis in 2013 it was his first show. Considered taking him to Deluna but decided he was too young for a three day festival at the time.
    He is a Matt Cameron fanatic! He will put on all his favorite shows and play along the best he can with Matt. We absolutely can't wait to make the short drive from south of Atlanta. We will be arriving around 10:30 am to get in the merch trailer line.

    Friend just reached out and wants to sell his 4 tickets for tomorrow's show. Section 227 Row H, Seats 11-14. He would like to sell all 4, but will sell in pairs $75/each OBO. I told him a had a few "friends" that may be interested. PM me. See you all there.

    If he likes drumming, get him listening to anything Jimmy Chamberlain does. See Smashing Pumpkins American Gothic EP for a drumming clinic.

    I love Chamberlins work with the Smashing Pumpkins. I'll have to check out "American Gothic."
    Ethan is definitely one of a kind. He's a huge light source for me. I get chills thinking about the look that would be on his face if they were to play Of the Earth.

    Bump for tomorrow, please play this song for this you fan...

    PS Dad, make the sign bigger...

    I was thinking of painting it on Ethan's chest and crowd surfing him to the stage. Too much?
  • 2-feign-reluctance2-feign-reluctance Posts: 23,243
    I guarantee you that's not too much - there are some CRAZY fans in the Pearl Jam 'tribe' that have done crazier things.

    I'm sure. The Breath campaign comes to mind. And the crazy Greek dressed up in a ghost sheet. Whatever it takes I suppose!
