haha, whats up with the hate man? I started the Texas thread!! It's not cuz I think we're our own country, cuz I don't!! Actually, given a choice, I'd probably live elsewhere, but you gotta play with the cards you're given.
Anyway, I started a Texas thread, cuz Juli started a West Palm Beach thread. So, if Florida can get they're own thread, then Texas can too!!
So, heres a BUMP for the WHOLE south.
Oh, and another reason why Texas deserves its own thread is cuz its so fucking big and it takes hours among hours to go to a show in another state, even a southern one...Hell, just going from one city to another takes too fucking long.
No HATE for Texas....just wondered if you figured you deserved one of your own since you've got the "biggest" of everything. That's what I hear anyway.... hey I want them to play all over the south so I can go to different places and see new people. Except for West Palm Beach, I fricking hate Florida (and I'm from there)
So here's a lunch time BUMP for the South - THE WHOLE SOUTH

Especially South Florida. We need you down here! People are stuck in the 80's. Bad 80's. Is that an oximoron? I'm originally from Boston and there are a lot of people from the northeast who moved down here and we want our Pearl Jam.

play the south and the crowds won't let you down like the spoiled, over-played-to northeastern/midwestern lame-o's you've seen the last few nights!!
that's what happens when boston EXPECTS AND GETS 3 shows, and NYC EXPECTS AND GETS LETTERMAN AND THE IRVING and chicago EXPECTS AND GETS multiple nights....

“It’s the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It’s seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can’t watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor’s tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health.”
Yep, here I am again for a Friday nite BUMP!!
COME ON DOWN BOYS
Since the South has been slighted, we're going to be the best fucking fans you ever hoped to see.

Atlanta bumpin again and speaking out - PLEASE when you play here, don't play in Phillips - unless you make the floor general admission
Play the Tabernacle or Chastain Amphitheater, that would be fuckin AWESOME!!

Alright, I have to vent. I know my actions will mean very little to a rich band like PJ.
But, I am going to boycott buying another from Pearl Jam until they announce a tour in the South. Last tour I bought 10 bootlegs. I buy their new album every time one comes out. I own two copies of TEN. I own 3 bootlegs from the 2000 tour and several other bootlegs like Aussie Dynamos and Chapters. I will not buy one PJ bootleg from this tour. Their blatant skipping of the South has hit me on a personal note.
I live in Little Rock. The nearest destinations are 10-12 hours by car, one way, or an expensive plane ticket plus car rental. I cannot afford to travel to Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, etc. I could afford to travel to Memphis, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, OKC, Austin, etc. They are shorter drives. I really would love to act like I have no responsibilities and just take a week off and travel and put myself into more debt. But, the reality is, I cannot afford to travel to any of the US destinations, Europe, or Australia.
I am personally offended by their actions. By the time they get to the South (2007?) the newness of the album will be well worn away and we will have to contend with those who have the money and just got to see PJ several times in the New England, Midwest, West Coast areas. By the time they get back to the states, everyone with a Ten Club membership or money to travel will pack stadiums in cities they would not go to otherwise.
I really enjoy the new album. Have several favorite songs. But, I will not give PJ another dollar until they show their fans in the South that they appreciate their patronage and will honor us with a live concert somewhere in several Southern cities.
I would love to see the outrage if their "world tour" was only played in Florida, Georgia, NC, SC, Texas, etc and they completely skipped NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. I could care less about the rumors of their frustration b/c shows were not sold out or several Southern states voted for GWB. But, that is nothing more than excuses.
BTW Pearl Jam. I voted for Clinton boths times, Gore, and then Kerry. But, I really do not give a crap if that makes you smile or makes you frown. It is a matter of self opinion, not a so called rumor or reason to skip cities with thousands of fans that want to appluade you and sing along.
With all the ticket controversy, I'm seeing this thread get pushed back more and more. I promise if the band plays the south I won't bitch about my seat, I'll just be happy to be in the building.
Statistically speaking, you're more likely to be pitied by Mr. T than you are to have feet.
ok, so the chili peppers played at the race in charlotte last night....take a hint from your long-time friends and come on down for some southern hospitality!! you won't be disappointed in the crowds like the complacent entitlement crowd you've been getting the last couple of weeks....
I'll sign the petition also. Hopefully other missed places will be added as well. October is still open and a good time to be in the South and Southwest!
if the weather is even part of the issue....please note that we have indoor arenas and indoor bathrooms. we know it's the 21st century.....
for example, tim mcgraw/faith hill is in the rbc center on june 9th....couldn't have faith all sweaty, now, could we?
Personally, I LOVE the idea of Faith all hot and sweaty! But thats a whole other thread there. I would love to see them play there at some point. I really enjoyed hearing them indoors for the first time in Ashville. The outdoor shows are a great time, but I think the energy of an inside show can't be beat.
