Morning..............

Morning everybody. Are we going to keep this going for the rest of the year?

I'm telling you, we are missing out. Those shows over the weekend were phenominal. I can't believe they would put out such a record and promote the hell out of it and publicly say how much they want it to succeed commercially and then go out and skip half the country.

Come Back!!

I'm already upset that PJ is not coming to the Southeast this year, so I don't know what I'd do if they completely denied us! Here are my picks:

Atlanta
Raleigh
Greenville
Birmingham
West Plam Peach

ok, here's my 2 pennies (however, i think i saw this idea somewhere else?):

pearl jam plays a handful of shows in the south at smaller more intimate venues, like VFC tour. they could kick it off by playing the tennessee theatre in knoxville!!!...yah right.

Bump. I'm on my lunchbreak.

Does anyone seriously think that they are not coming to the south at all for this tour? I can't imagine that they'd do that. The last leg of the US tour probably just hasn't been announced yet. I'm in Atlanta and they've played some of their very best shows EVER here - as most everyone already knows. I can't freakin' wait until they come. I believe that they will until someone proves me wrong.

I find it odd that the Charlotte Observer ran an article on them yesterday....no mention of them coming here in it, but still.....why put it there?

Especially since that is just a copy of an article that was in another newspaper awhile back. Detroit I think? Can't remember.

You know, I have a friend that I have totally converted into a PJ fan by giving him copies of boots, etc. He used to like them along time ago but lost track, like a lot of people. But he was digging the boots I gave him and went right out and bought Avocado on the release date and loves it. Is dying to see them as he never has but couldn't travel.

PJ, you are missing out on potential new fans by skipping out on us like this.

Then that's even odder (is that a word)? They'll be here. I know it. They are going to announce it any day because I am totally broke!!!!! Murphy's law.

In my previous post, I am pretty confident that they are coming to the south and I stand by that. But still - why would they wait this long to announce the final dates? Any ideas?

They want to get closer to the Presidential elections so they can maybe make a difference. (my opinion).

I can't believe that they would skip us over!

In case everyone didn't see this.

I can't believe this question has not surfaced in a single interview. I know a lot of them were done before the album was even released, but you would think somewhere in a more recent interview, somebody would have posed the question about skipping such a large portion of the country. I mean you would think some journalist would have explored the whole blue state/red state angle. I guess they are all so elated with the wonder that is the Avocado that they are actually practicing journalistic integrity. And nothing official from 10C either. Even if they have 0 intentions of playing down here, Id rather hear it officially announced. To announce nothing is not really fair because it leaves open that glimmer of hope. Wishing for something you can't have is bad enough, but being teased into thinking you can have it is even worse.
Oh well, hope everyone enjoys the shows in their respective areas (especially the Europeans). After all, we aren't jealous. We don't want to take anything away from anyone else. We just want to share in the PJ love too. Hopefully 2007 will bring us better luck.

the is it worth it bump.

you are

I think they'll come. They always come to Tennessee! Nashville/Murfreesburo - they can't not come!....Maybe they're saving the best for last!
