    It will never happen again. PJ is trying, much like Radiohead to become "Carbon Friendly." Playing shows at the Gorge is about the worst possible venue to play if you claim to really care about lowering carbon emmissions. 20,000 people all driving at least 2 hours to a venue in the middle of nowhere? At $5.00 a gallon? I'd be shocked if they ever did it again. They'll probably hit the Key or possibly White River next tour. Having been to all 3 Gorge shows in 05/06 I would love to see them their again. Unfortunately times are changing and I just don't think we'll ever enjoy PJ at the Gorge again.

    Do you think they realize how many people travel to see them....? Talk about a carbon nightmare. I live in the South and flew to Seattle AND drove to the Gorge......think about it.....Not to mention the fans that fly all over the country (and from the UK, etc.) to see them.

    Your right, they can't avoid the huge amount of carbon that they produce during a tour. Especially when it comes to fans. They can make things more carbon friendly though. How about allowing Ten Club members tickets to only one show like they used to? This would likely cut down the number of fans traveling around the country to see them. They could also not avoid the entire South like they did in recent years. Forcing those fans to travel thousands of miles to see shows is not carbon friendly. Another thing they could do is play venues that are accessible by public transportation or close to major metropolitan areas. If they play the Gorge they're basically opening themselves up to be called hippocrates. A lot has changed since they last played the Gorge in July of 2006. The world is on the cusp of a major energy crisis. I think the band will acknowledge this by making responsible changes to their touring habits for their next major tour. I'd be shocked if they didn't.

    I was at the '05 show and a girl from this board (can't remember her nick now) arranged a bus and a lot of people went to the show on that. It was a great idea. So, there is always that option :-)
    I think that might have been Yahamita
