    • Pearl Jam was set to play, and one local hairdresser had been retained to style the hair of a band member.
    BOOOOOM! 🤣

    Sources say the rest of the band have a group appointment at a local Super Cuts location.

    My bet is that this is actually Ed solo.

    Totally agree! I could see Ed doing this solo. Would be shocked if it’s the full band. Maybe he will come join the masses at Nancy’s for some Dirty Bananas 🤣

    EV opened for Obama’s farewell address in early 2017, wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case here.

    I heard Brian and Joe Hackett will be flying the boys to Nantucket for the afterparty.

    Homies on the right surely don't like this, but that's mostly because its for Barry.

    As someone who worked an indoor wedding this weekend, with about 1% of guest mask wearing, I'm hoping this will be a classy outdoor 500 guests from ALL OVER in an open air tent (plus the 75 or so vendors, caterers, florists, sound, video, and photo crews) type of deal...I think it's going to be more Lollapalooza though.  Ew.

    AND...Cori Bush still sleeping on the steps of the US Capitol.   Millions face eviction.  Priorities.

    I doubt Obama's birthday party is going to look like Lollapalooza.

    I'm booked to be on the vineyard for my daughter's birthday on Saturday,  Perhaps we will bump into the vedders in Edgartown.  May need to change plans.  Getting around the island will be tricky.

    Hold on to hope, folks. 

    If anyone can get the guys to play “Given to Fly” at normal speed again it’s a former president.

    That's an indoor event in the picture. Obama's event is outdoors in one of the most vaccinated parts of the country. Not really the same.

    YO I hear ya, Jim. BUT...

    All of those people coming from somewhere else.  I work events and my guard is up and I'm masking up around people indoors and out until at least November.

    "It goes through air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch - you don't have to touch things, right? But the air, you just breathe the air. That's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one."

    Yeah, mine is up too. I had been comfortable outdoors for awhile but concern is definitely slipping in. Hopefully this is a well-planned and executed event and there are no problems.

    No thread is protected from staying on topic to quickly taking a turn towards Covid talk.  There is a virus/ vaccine thread on AMT that I think covers this pretty well, but I guess the virus spreads as easily amongst the PJ forums as it does amongst humans.

    I get and ignore fundraising emails from Democrats all the time. Give me a chance to livestream this show and you will get my money.
