    Here's a bump just because.............

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer, but I do have something to contribute. A friend of mine was chatting with Mike and Matt on Saturday and they mentioned that Hawaii will be their last show of the year. The date with U2 will be as an opener, 1 1/2 hours tops, so they don't really consider that their gig. He also said that Mike mentioned something about more dates next year. So who knows what it all means.

    A little hope on the horizon... certainly makes thing a little brighter here. Thanks.

    Dont you just love the rollercoaster of emotions that encompasses this thread? Nice to hear a blurb that could possibly lead one to insinuate about some potential somethings next year.
    Seriously though, isn't that really what we expected/hoped for at this point. 2007 has been the more realistic goal for a while now. Lets just hope it happens.
    In the meantime, just post like there is no fucking tomorrow!

    Movin this info to the last page for all to see.....

    This little movement seems to have grown some legs of its own....

    The *** Official Plant a Tree, Play the South*** petition has been merged with this thread.

    Im going to keep posting this until we get lots more people on board.

    We are hoping to get the attention of the band and do something great for the enviroment at the same time. What we would like to do is plant as many trees as possible in order to offset the "Carbon Footprint" (see Activism) of PJ'S tour when they come southward (and I know they will!)

    Below are some suggested links to foundations that will plant trees for small donations. They will even send you a certificate indicating that the trees have been planted and where they were planted. For as little as 10 bucks, only half the cost of your 10c membership, you can get 10 trees planted in honor of PJ's Southern Tour leg in 2007.

    My 10 trees are planted and they should be photosynthesising as we speak. Once my certificate arrives, it will be forwarded to the 10c.

    Folks, its entirely possible, with a little help we could get litterally thousands of trees planted with this little "Southern Homegrown Movement".

    The steps are simple:

    1) Pick a foundation from the links below (or any other that you like), or just visit your local home improvement
    megastore.

    2) Purchase your trees. (stealing your neighbor's trees and re-planting them is NOT recommended :D.)

    3) Have your certificate, if applicable, filled out to indicate that these trees were planted in honor of Pearl Jam's Southern US Tour in 2007.

    Or, if you plant a tree at your house, just snap a picture.

    4) Send your certificate, printed email receipt or photo to the 10c at the below address.

    ** SNAIL MAIL IS THE OPTIMAL ATTENTION GETTING METHOD.**
    on the outside of your envelope please write:
    "Trees for Pearl Jam Movement"

    It's that easy!

    Let's really get the band's attention in a positive way instead of just bitchin and moaning!:)

    Re-Forestation Links:

    http://www.arborday.org/join/TICTIM/index.cfm

    http://www.americanforeststore.org/

    http://www.saveourhemlocks.org/

    And the 10c address to mail in that certificate or photo:

    Pearl Jam
    PO Box 4570
    Seattle, WA
    98194-0570

    THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HAVE OFFERED A BOATLOAD OF AWESOME SUGGESTIONS AND HELPFUL LINKS AND THANKS FOR BEING ALL AROUND COOL PEOPLE! :D

    LET'S MAKE THIS WORK! GO PLANT A TREE!



    Facts From the Arbor Day Foundation Site:

    Over the course of 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 of oxygen, provide $62,000 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.
    __ __ ____ ___ ___ _____ ___ _____ ___ ___ ___ __ __ ___

    So, based on the list we have so far (if youve planted a tree or ten, please add your name to the list that's circulating):

    We will have generated $ 4,687,500.00 worth of oxygen, provided $9,300,000.00 worth of air polution control, recycled $5,625,000.00 worth of water and controlled $4,725,000.00 worth of soil erosion!!! :D

    How about those numbers boys and girls...all from 15 people planting 10 trees each for a grand total of only $150 !!

    So, let me reitterate my point again in another way...for only $10...1/2 the cost of your 10c membership, 1/3 the cost of a tour poster (about 1/10 if you go and flip it on eBay) or the roughly the cost of 9 Wendy's Bacon Jr. Cheesburgers (plus tax)... you can help out a great cause and get PJ's attention in an environmentally friendly way....

    Help us offset the "Carbon Footprint" (see Activism header on 10c website) of PJ's tour, (and hopefully grab enough of their attention that they will add the South to their 2007 tour itenerary), by coughing up measly 10 bucks on your next payday (you're only gonna blow it on booze and smokes anyway)..... visit one of the suggested websites today and......

    PLANT A FEW TREES so PJ will PLAY THE SOUTH!


    Just a reminder about this great cause to finish off the DOUBLE SHOT.

    I think the rollercoaster of emotions is evidence of the resiliency of the human spirit- and the effect of our love for Pearl Jam and the potency of hope...

    oh, and bump, like there is no fucking tomorrow!

    Speaking of trees.......just got an e-mail from the National Wildlife Federation....it seems that if I purchase a 100% organic tee-shirt from their catalog, they will plant either a cedar, a mahogany or cacao tree in my name. So many options......but I will actually pull the trigger on one of these tree thingies one day.
