Just getting back home bump. Spent the weekend hiking Mt. Cheaha, Alabama's highest point. It was great. Hiked Secton 7 of the Pinhoti Trail, Indian for turkey, and saw millions of trees and stunning views. How could you not come to the South?
Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

I don't usually post in threads like this (or in any threads in general, really), but since I just had a dream the other night in which I met the band and Ed said they would be in the south in the summer of '07, I chose to do what little I can to make my dreams reality.
Come to the South, please. I'll go to as many shows as possible.

Heard this song for the first time today at work. Seems like just as good a place as any to post the lyrics:
Southern Girl
by Better Than Ezra
There she is.
White light,
descending like the color of rain.
July or fall,
one thing will never change.
Down and out,
you found this city has you on your back.
You long for her to take you away.
And I...
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
Scent of pine drifting by.
Her hand traces lazy on your neck.
Sunlight through the trees
recalls a better time.
Kids and dogs running by,
She smiles as she drinks ice tea,
Retire to the room, it's easy to see.
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
Take back the night, claim your desire.
Run 'til you crawl.
In the morning you will find her there.
[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.
"So, you must really love Led Zeppelin. That’s the oldest shirt I’ve ever seen on someone who wasn’t a bum."
"Hey, if God didn’t want me to wear it so much, he wouldn’t have made them rock so hard."
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i was so excited when i read this
(from another forum on here)
Stone Has Given the South HOPE!!
So this is what i read on pj's message pit today
my sister and I walked down to this little mom and pap breakfast joint earlier. there weren't many people inside. maybe 8 people. So i see a couple guys walk in out of the corner of my eye. I nonchalantly glanced over. Then i did a double take. it was stone. :shock:
He was with another guy i recognized. One of the crew guys. later i found out it was smitty. they were just a few tables away and figured i would just say "hey stone". I thought about it more and thought i had chance to chat with him, but i didn't want to make a scene inside. plus, i could tell nobody else recognized him. So Lisa and I just went about our usual business. Stone and smitty finisded their meals the same time we did. We walked out a few minutes before them so we waited outside.. just standing around, not making it obvious.
Stone walks out. I let him walk about 10 feet before i approached him
me: hey stone?
(stone turns around, nods, and walks towards me
me: hey, i just wanted to say hi. my name is eugene and this is my sister, lisa. we just flew in for the show tomorrow
(we shake hands)
stone: oh, awesome. where'd ya come from?
me: florida
stone: hah, we were actually just talking about florida.
me: oh yeah?
stone: yeah, just wondering when we're gonna get down there
me: haha..yeah, a lot of people have been wondering about that
stone: yeah (rubs chin)..ya know all of the southern shows don't sell out and the south is just a huge detour. (does some kind of detour motion with his hands) but, we are gonna work something out and get down there
me: so ya guys excited?
stone: yeah man, petty. it's been awesome
stone: are you guys excited?
me: oh yeah.......hey, mind if we get a quick picture
stone: yeah, that's cool. let smitty take it
(takes picture)
me: well, it was nice to meet ya. thanks
stone: you too, enjoy the show
me: thanks you too
then they walked into a radio station
the picture was taken with my sister's camera and she doesn't have the cord, so i took a picture of the picture with my camera

Thanks Leather Mandi. I just hope this isn't someone's idea of another "joke" for the south....
I haven't given up hope yet, but I don't know whether to believe another one of these stories or not. Thanks for passing it along just the same...
I was sort of reading into the email blast the 10C sent out today - they were being careful not to say "end of the tour". Instead they said "end of the tour 2006".
Nothing wrong with being hopeful....
PLAY THE SOUTH!
Please.....

yeah, we caught it...not all of us maybe, but i've seen it. and honestly, i can't give it that much cred. it's just something somebody posted. i could have written that just as easily. nothing personal, it's just not official. neither was lizard's encounter with mike, really. just not official, that's all. maybe stone and mike were hanging in the bus talking about people asking them about the south, and they just said "let's just tell everybody it's about ticket sales so they'll leave us alone about it". still not official, if you see what i mean....

Thanks, I do appreciate the voice of reason. But I also like reading those little hopeful tidbits - and that's why those jerks keep writing that stuff because of naive people like me!!! I'll never learn, but I'll never give up hope either. I've got the jam fever bad.

oh, no, trust me: i'm having a hard time trying to be rational about this stuff and not getting my hopes up and reading too much into things that might not be so much....
on the other hand, i get kinda giddy when the 10c emails me and says something vague like "as an exciting 2006 pearl jam tour seson comes to an end..."

I caught that too... they seem to real careful about their wording... there are rumors of PJ playing a festival in Europe in 2007 (n another thread) , so it sounds like there may be some more performances coming up in 2007... but trying to not hope too much.
