FYI: ocean grove is a dry town.  Weird Methodist rules.  

But you can t go wrong with og, Bradley , Avon, belmar or spring lake beach that time of year.  

NJ is funny that way.  I have had vacations in Wildwood where the specific district determines the beverage selection.  

Say what now about Wildwood?

I think there’s a part where they don’t serve alcohol.  Maybe Wildwood Crest? Unless it changed recently.

Ya know what, I guess I never really thought about it before but, yeah, I guess the Crest is technically dry. There really aren't any bars or restaurants there, other than some BYOs. Everything else is in Wildwood proper or Diamond Beach to the south before Cape May. Though I would say I've never had an issue drinking my fill anywhere on 5 Mile Island, and it's pretty dumb that it's treated as 3/4/5 different towns.

Nonetheless when the border opens Wildwood is on my short list.

You aren’t missing anything in Wildwood.

Ha, are you one of these Canucks that come en masse? I've always found this massively interesting that it's basically Philly people and Canadians.

Go to Avalon, Stone Harbor or Cape May instead.

I was waffling so much between going and not going (I will be in NYC the week before for MMJ and have a couple trips planned...), and waited so long that I'm now regretting not getting tix, especially since they're playing Gigaton. If anyone has an extra at some point, I'd gladly hook you up with multiple beers.

Yes. This. I was going to say Cape May or Atlantic City even.

I’ve never missed a show in my area. I even sat through Beyoncé (torture) at Central park to see the boys play an hour set. I just can’t bring myself to go to this. I don’t know why. Even with the long lay-off from covid. Nothing about this festival sounds worth it.

I’ve never regretted going to a single concert I’ve ever seen.  But there’s a handful I kick myself for not making the effort to be there.

This is spot on and true for many of us.

I almost skipped Fenway N2 in 2018 and it turned out to be their last show for three years. 

I sold my tickets to see Chris Cornell in 2015 because it was a Wednesday and there would be other chances. (There weren't.)

Skipped REM in 2008 after Accelerate for the same reasons....next tour I'll see em....although with Chris, that one is tough :(

I don't anticipate this being the best show ever or anything, but just hearing the 1st sounds of their first song is going to be so emotional. Just  to be back at a concert and it being Pearl Jam is going to be priceless to me.  That 2 hours or so will be such a great relief and release of a lot  of pent  up energy and emotions.  I can't wait.

A Release, if you will...

I skipped seeing REM in 1999… my buddy and I had tickets and we just blew it off thinking we’d see them down the road.  Never got around to seeing them.

Long road please 

Go Animal

(Just gonna will that into existence. It's gotta be Release, or The Long Road. Something with a slow build to a crescendo, then right into Corduroy. That's when you know you're back.)
