Hey everyone,

I'm a longtime fan from Los Angeles, and I had made peace with the fact that I was going to miss out on these Fenway shows. They were too far, I lost the lottery, etc, etc. But I found myself visiting my sister in upstate New York this week, and when I realized that going to one of these shows was even a POSSIBILITY, I knew I had to find a way to make it happen. Yesterday, I was able to buy a single, obstructed view ticket for tonight's show through Ticketmaster.

Against my better (financial) judgement, I knew I had to do it. I'm on a train right now to New York, and will be hopping on a bus to Boston just in time to make it for the show.

I'm going through a rough time personally, having just gotten out of a very long-term but challenging relationship. This will be my 26th Pearl Jam show, but my first time ever going alone.

Friends, family, faithful... I'm all alone. This is something of a vision quest for me. A healing journey to process my thoughts and surround myself with the positive energy of the band and the community. I'm grateful to have gotten into the building, but I have an obstructed view seat and sure would love to see the stage.

I've given back to the community before, and hopefully have some good karma coming my way:

Can anyone help me out? I'm a 32-year-old, well-adjusted normal guy from Los Angeles with a broken heart, and turning to the PJ community to reach down and pick me up a little bit. If anyone out there has a +1 that they're not using, I'd love if you'd consider upgrading my seat. I'll buy you a beer (or two), and swap some good stories of our favorite shows and favorite performances.

Either way, it's going to be great tonight, and I can't wait.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

    I'm from LA, middle of a divorce and two kids, and I went alone on Fri and will again tonight! Once they start, all the shit will melt away and you will remember who you are and the rest of the night will be yours!

    Hey, sometimes you find someone else who ventured down alone after his other plans fell through and figured he'd come to the shows anyway. It always works out one way or another.
