Thank you, Pearl Jam! (And a Baltimore shoutout request)

Tomorrow ends my run of shows this tour. I was able to take my three kids to their first PJ shows: Mina to MSG2, Dylan to Philly1, and Stone (yup, it’s a family name) to our hometown Baltimore show, as well as  bringing my wife, Heather, to her fourth show (Philly2). My personal show count will be at 18 come tomorrow. 

Each show so far has been incredible in its own right. The only thing that could make it better would be a little shoutout to my kids, to further cement for them that extra special something that Pearl Jam always brings to their fans. I don’t even have a special song request left in the tank—Chloe/Crown was my biggest white whale… Release, maybe? Really, just that “hello” would mean the world. 

Even without it, Pearl Jam has made some amazing family memories for us this week, in addition to those they’ve brought to my life or the last 34 years. So grateful to still have shows to go to! 

Thanks so much for considering!
Richard
