I should by all rights be packed full of "Pearl Jam Karma" by now - I just got done listening to all the studio albums + Lost Dogs in chronological order...

I REALLY want these.

I'm thinking about cleaning up litter on the side of the road tomorrow morning before I log in

Couldn't hurt, eh?

Maybe I'll go help little old ladies across the street tomorrow.
I volunteered at the hospital today, but I think the karma knows that it was for my Med School application than anything. :P

W.C. Carter

I would give my soul, my left nut, everything I own, and my virginity to Margaret Thatcher for one ticket to this show.

I went into downtown Chi today to get some tattoo work done and met up with AvocadoLady afterwards for dinner and frosting

Over dinner we decided we'd do some reconnaissance at the Vic.

Hoooooly F***balls! The first floor of the place is so tiny it makes the Showbox look big. They were having "Brews & Views" night and when the lights went up it was sooo beautiful. Old fashioned style concert hall with gilded walls and an enormous stadium seating balcony. There literally isn't a bad seat in the place.

Lots of pizza & restaurants nearby (karaoke too), a Walgreens and bank across the streets and a liquor store caddycorner to it. Parking will be a bitch.

Seeing it though..so small and intense. Low lighting, intimate atmosphere. Graded levels for great views of the low stage all around. The guys will be able to get a good look at almost every single person's face. Wow.

I've been to a crapload of PJ concerts and all I can say after seeing this venue in person is.. wow.

Yes tomorrow is without a doubt the hardest part. I really hope anyone who KNOWS they can't go or even might have a conflict does not try to get tickets. Leave tickets for those that KNOW they can go.

I hope so, too! Krisdababe and I will be there early Thursday morning. Initially, it was to enjoy Chicago for a few days before Lolla but now......
Lolla was gonna be my first show ever and now, for this to be announced and quite possibly be my first show, I am too excited to sleep. For fucks sake, its 5 in the morning! Keep your fingers crossed, Krista!!!!!!
