    Glad to hear the treatment is allowing you to do all of those things you listed. Sounds like you have had a busy couple of years. Hope you get Long Road. You will have two chances as Eddie likes to play it on his set too. Heard him play it solo once and he did an amazing job. Take care and enjoy the shows!

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel

    Thank you and just got our wristbands!!!
  • I won't be there but I REALLY hope you get Long Road. that would be amazing. 

    Thanks man and I agree 100%... =)

  • One week from today and we will be on Doheny Beach!!!
  • Latest Update - 9/19/23 - Well I'm officially an outlier as I've outlived the mean average for my diagnosis (4 years).  It's been a long 4 1/2 years (12 months of chemo, monthly treatments and 6 months of radiation this past year).  I'm extremely grateful that with modern medicine I've tolerated these treatments extremely well.  September was my 54th consecutive month surfing in MA since my diagnosis (I even surfed the day after radiation treatment).  I've also been able to play lacrosse with my boys which has been awesome (I also got back into coaching lacrosse).  I also got my first tattoo (stickman on a surfboard) and went dog-sledding up in ME last winter.  Most important; I've been able to be here for some significant milestones - My youngest son graduated from High School, my middle son is a sophomore in college and my oldest got his first real job.  There was a time that I didn't think I would see ANY of this...Anyway, Julie and I are going to our 4th Ohana Festival and can't wait!!!  We almost cancelled again but Julie talked me into it (we need it and it wasn't a hard sell  =)).  Would love to hear Long Road if possible but honestly just psyched for our 4th Ohana Festival and the amazing line-up!!!

    Cheers!

    Great story and so glad you're doing well.  I hope we get Long Road as well.  

    Were you at Ohana in 21 when Eddie and the Earthlings played Long Road in the set that replaced Kings of Leon?

    Sort of adjacent to your story, Ohana is going to be my wife's first trip since finishing chemo in August and radiation last week.  She is working hard to be full strength for the show.  

    Have a safe trip going out!  See you there!

  • Latest Update - 9/7/24 - So after 5 1/2 years surgery recently bacame an option!!!   I had the procedure on August 26th (removed part of pancreas, liver and all of my spleen).   It was a big procedure and still recovering as I write this; but the decision was a no brainer!   Small chance of being cancer free, reset the clock and decade or decades of time. vs. 2-5 years.  It really is unbelievable and all of this came about really fast.  I will be at 9/15 show with my youngest son Griffin who's first show was in Worcester when he was 9.  This will be our 2nd show together and at 20 he has become  a big fan of Pearl Jam.  He even loves some of the songs  for the more serious collectors (like Long Road!!!).  Anyway, I'm currently "training" for the 2 Fenway  shows by taking 2 walks a day... .  My streak of 64 consecutive months surfing is in jeopardy but  I think I might have figured out a way if  I get cleared by the Docs.  I'll also be at the 9/17 show with Julie.  We had to cancel Ohana year due to the surgery but will definitely be there next year.   Anyway here's hoping my son Griffin and I get to hear Long Road on 9/15 at Fenway (as our Road just got a hell of a lot longer)!!!  There will also be a lot of friends & family at this show so it would be perfect...Last, I'm definitely going to be a hot mess when I hear Alive!

    Cheers,

    Chip
