    Fine with me. It'll make getting home a lot easier.


    And I plan on staying the whole time. I wanna see What Hanie can do. Plus Orton and the starters will play three full quarters. if there was one preseaon game to go to, it would be #3.

    So untrue......the stadium will be at least 3/4 full at the end......we want to see who are players will be "when", not "if" one of our starters go down! :)

    i caught the first series for each team. i'll have to check the listings to find otu when the NFL network is showing the rerun.

    looks like they are trying to put some more rinkles in the return game. lucky they didn't get stuck at the 5. holy crap. but even if they never run it in a regular season game, gives the opposition something to think about.

    Random note for today's game from the Trib's blog:

    Back to the present, and it's even stranger than the past. There are people milling about the infield. Chris Chelios, wearing a Ryan Dempster Cubs jersey, is parading the Stanley Cup around the pitchers mound. He throws out the first pitch and sails it over Eddie Vedder's head. Yes, this is all really happening.

    Hey everyone/anyone.... what do you think my chances are of buying a ten club ticket off of a member if I show up at Kasey's tonight or even outside the venue? I was there yesterday, and my seat for the show was 2nd balcony last row, so I think it would be a totally different experience if I were to get some really good seats. I LOVED the show yesterday though, don't get me wrong.

    I'd say your chances are pretty good. There were lots of people with extras at the pre-party yesterday.

    you are AWESOME! We had so much fun meeting everyone, and can't wait to do it again!

    My husband was a little skeptical about going, but I think he had just as much fun as me! Well, I had two tequila shots, so maybe not!

    Hope everyone had fun at the show and made it home safely--no matter where you were going! :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    It was great to meet you, too! I thought of you when Eddie sang "Rise" and of course I cried. We got to meet Eddie after the show. It was an incredible time!

    I am so happy for you that you got to meet Ed! We almost headed over that way, but thankfully my sane husband encouraged me to walk towards the hotel and not AWAY from it. LOL

    Thanks for thinking of me...I was crying then, too. I am sure the guys next to us (college kids, but respectful and pretty cool) thought I was a nut. Ah, who cares?!?

    Hope to see you again SOON!!!! ;)

    Ahhh...DirtyTom. What is amazing is that I can still put a face to the pit names! It was so cool to meet you, too!

    BTW, it was "eggs". What kind of parent do you think I am? LOL Actually--"ass" has been spewn from his sweet little lips a few times. There would have been hot sauce in this case, which I should have done anyway just for him being so disrespectful to PJ. Hahahaha!

    First time I ever went to one of the pre-parties, just got home from Chicago. It was definitely cool meeting alot of u guys. I'm terrible with names and half the people I met probably didnt get mine anyway, but Smarchee, the dudes from Buffalo and the cool (and pretty) ladies they were with, Emily from Cincy, Kcherub and her "bitch", etc. It definitely made my weekend that much better. Thanks. Too bad it's all over, for now...

    Hey Sherm, thanks again for hooking me up, what a great view from the seats we had, both times in Toronto I was on Eddie's left and didn't get a good view of him playing the actual chords because he faces the guitar on his right, which was a perfect view from where we sat. I had a blast at the pre-party too, glad you came and had fun, once you go to one, it's becomes a habit when you travel to a PJ show.

    Lost track of you after the show ended, so I couldn't thank you personally, so thanks man,

    you ROCK !!!!
