    It has been beautiful - those pics are from last weekend - water temp was 79 degrees.

    I hear the weather is supposed to be in the mid 70s next week - which is cool for this time of year. And no hurricanes this year - THANK YOU!

    I sound like the Tourism board! Perhaps our Northern PJ friends will consider this and fill up some PJ shows down here (if that IS the problem...)
    Yeah starting to see all the candians coming down again.Hey they like Canada maybe we WILL get a show or two.lol!

    I don't think that the folks coming down to Florida from Canada right now are exactly the demographic that Pearl Jam's beancounters are interested in.......:)

    Next time PJ plays a show we should get everyone on this thread together and travel there as a group. Show some southern solidarity and maybe make something positive out of this. Plus it would be cheaper if we could get group rates at hotels, split rental cars, maybe tailgate and split food and drink costs, etc. Be a good chance to put faces with names and all that.

    Even if PJ doesn't tour next year there is probably a good chance they will play a show or two somewhere.

    I know there has been a thread about a letter writing campaign to get the boys down here for a southern tour, but I wanted to see if maybe we could brain storm about other ideas to get the message out to PJ that we want them down here! Any thoughts?

    Send home baked cookies to the Ten Club Staff? Well, that's something I would do.


    However, on that note: If the people who want a southern tour create a canned food/clothing drive or something along those lines, and if it is known that they are doing it as a manifestation of their wish to have PJ play the south (besides being a good charitable activity), how could PJ not play the south, you know?

    I was just thinking.I became a fan of Pearl Jam when they first came out .It was the music that draw me in.It still is.But they also stood up for the underdogs.It seems they have made us the Underdogs of the Underdogs.Are they going to stand up for us now?

    Jim Halpert: You know what? Here’s the deal, Kelly. It would be really nice if he was into you, right? It would be great. But he isn’t.

    Kelly: Yeah, but it would be so great if he was.

    Jim Halpert: Yeah, but he’s not, though. So you just gotta suck it up. You just gotta move on. Try to have some fun. Come to my poker game tonight.

    Kelly: Okay cool. [pause] Is it okay if I invite Ryan?
