Wierd Pearl Jam Coincidences

Since i became a fan i have noticed a series of wierd, coincidental things related to Pearl Jam happening around me and i would like to know if anyone has had similar experiences or if i am reading into things too much...which is likely...
...i work at a restaurant and when the oven is on, staff cant hear the radio. in the five minutes before i leave when everything is turned off, a Pearl Jam song often comes on the radio for me to hear.
in the past, whenever my mom would give me the coveted privelage of controlling the car radio, Pearl Jam would be on. (i should mention, the words Pearl Jam are rarely heard in my area)
i also just realized a while ago that the Live at the Showbox DVD, which was the first Pearl Jam recording i ever watched, was recorded on my twelfth birthday.
after bringing home the first Pearl Jam disc i ever bought (a show from New York)i noticed it was recorded on my best friend/cousins birthday.
just recently i bought a bootleg of a show in Toronto (the only PJ recording in the store i didnt already have) and when i brought it home and showed it to my brother-in-law, he told me that not only was he at that show but it's the only one he's attended that he doesnt have a bootleg of.
at my first Pearl Jam concert, my sister and i were told that the seats we had payed for were unavailable (they were right behind the stage, first row) so we would be relocated. we were really nervous and angry but when we were taken to our new seats, they were to the right of the stage, twelve rows back in the lower bowl. in other words, the best seats i have had to date.
last but not least...at either the first or second show i saw the band did a tag of "Why can't I touch it" by the Buzzcocks. i dont think i had ever actually heard it before but when i was little and would make up songs i used to sing that song...i thought i made it up until i heard the guys play it.
these are just a few things i can think of that struck me as being odd. if you think im crazy let me know...sometimes i think that i just look for wierd coincidences so i'd really like to know if im the only one who experiences this.

I've got one, which I think is quite cool: Ten and No Code were both released on my birthday!
thats interesting. ive noticed similar things, like what you said about controlling the radio, seems like i always hear a pearl jam song too. plus sometimes in the car i'll take out a pj cd after listening to it and they will be playing on the radio too. the gorge show 7-22-06 was my birthday. also stones birthday is july 20 so we're 2 days apart.
That was weird.
About dates, I have no IDEA!! I'll take a look to see if there's any coincidence
y esclavo de lo que habla.
But, after the show, me and my boyfriend took a wander down the road to get a burger from a random kebab/pizza/burger place and there was a glass chiller which served as the counter top, and all along the bottom of the chiller were avocados.
BUT
These avocados weren't just sat there whole, oh no! They were all sliced exactly in half
I even took a picture!

I never knew Ten and No Code were released on the same day. Do you think the band was trying to make a statement with that? Oh wait, I forgot, there's no code in "No Code".

yesterday was a wierd day. i got up, and listened to Lost Dogs to start the day. i was supposed to go out with a friend but she bailed so i went for a drive with my sister and her friend. as we were driving around, my sisters friend stopped for a minute at what she thought was a stop sign. then my sister said "why are you stopped at a yield sign?" since there was no traffic. we laughed and drove away. a while later my sister asked what CD i wanted to listen to and i said "i dont care, whatever" and as she pulled Lost Dogs out of the CD book i noticed that the song playing quietly on the radio was 4/20/02, the hidden track on Disc 2 of Lost Dogs. all i can say is that i love when this stuff happens.

One night when I was fast asleep (with my radio on) i woke up at about 3am just in time to hear the intro (Eddie yelling) to Even Flow.
I got back to sleep about 4 minutes later.
When my alarm clock went off at 6am, as soon as I turned the alarm off, 46+2 by Tool started on the radio.
coulda sworn it was may 2nd!!!!!! hhahahah, infact i know it was.
but yeah, ive had some weird stuff.....i was listening to time love and tenderness by michael bolton on a tape i had bought , turned it to the radio and it was time love and tenderness on there too!
that was cool, not pj though.
