just stopped seeing someone who i could sit around and have a few drinks and listen to pjam with...guy was a bad boyfriend, but a great pearl jam fan....tried hard to keep it going since there are very few people who will listen to pearl jam for countless hours...

bad boyfriends are definitely bad but a bad Pj boyfriend thats got to be soooo much worse

Oh man, I couldn't imagine finally finding a cute diehard PJ chick from my area, dating her for a while....and having a bad split. I think the PJ bond would make things rather difficult for us to part ways. Oh well, haven't found a PJ chick just yet. But I do have a pretty good membership number....and a good job!!!

They are definitely out there

So....I'm back on the market fellows

Ok, not ready yet, as the wound is still fresh, but I have seen this thread here and there and I thought how it would be cool to have a boyfriend who dug the band as much or at least on the same level as me. In fact, I just ended a 2 1/2 year relationship with someone who was at first a fan. Probably one of the coolest/most thoughtful things he did was buy me the Gorge set early on in our relationship. At that time, although I called PJ my favorite band, I really was clueless about who they were. I was a radio-friendly fan ( :oops: ). Anyway, I learned a lot about "my" band; that there was a lot more to their music than what I knew. So, we one night were sharing a bottle of wine and checked the site (I joined soon after) and saw they were touring and would be in Philly in the next month and we got tickets and blah, blah, blah. That happened to be such a huge part of my PJ "evolution". We happened to catch night 3 and whoa!! Holy shit balls, what a show!! I was blown away and could hardly forgive myself for not KNOWING my so called favorite band. Needless to say, I caught the fever and here I am. Well, from then on it seemed like he became jealous. Jealous of Ed. Jealous of me having an interest. I don't know. It just went downhill, and listening to them became something we could no longer share. And you guys know, you don't want to be with someone who ridicules/criticizes something you love.

I had to hide purchases, or the ones I made we would fight about. It just became a problem. I'm not saying we broke up over Pearl Jam, just that I got sick of having to keep it private, I guess. And, no, I wasn't going to any extremes. All completely normal stuff. :?

Not sure if this is the place for it, but thanks for reading/listening to my long winded post. I just needed to vent and share with you all, and so there you have it. I'm a bit sad, but I'm glad too. Fuck him! I went ahead and bought a couple of EV posters today from another board member I've wanted and I'm excited to no longer feel like I can't enjoy one of my many passions. Regardless of how one feels about someone else's "hobby", at the very least you should support the one you love and make concessions even if you don't necessarily agree with them.

Anyway, when the time is right, who knows, I might meet one/many of you lovely PJ fans.

You had to hide purchases? That is just wrong!

re: your bad boyfriend

I had something similar happen, though thankfully it wasn't with PJ (that is totally all my domain). My thing was horror movies. I always liked them, but usually the old school, black and white ones, and it was an interest that I wasn't really focused on. But I dated someone who was really into them and it was a lot of fun watching "new" ones with him - from old Bela Lugosi, to the Hammer stuff, to the bottom shelf ones made more recently. But he started getting weird if I acted too interested in them or would talk about them with any authority or something. Like I was a poser since I didn't have the vast knowledge he did prior to us even meeting each other. So though I had seen really off the wall films like Lady in a Cage, because I didn't know the whole Halloween saga, I deserved to be denigrated.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I understand.

I, on the other hand, am looking for someone who is already into the band. But I'm happy to share my (perhaps minimal) knowledge of horror films

I was just thinking the other day. well the 'pearl jam wedding' thread/s often have me thinking about what PJ songs I'd want at my wedding(if/when I get married again) & then I think well jeez he'll have to be seriously into PJ as well of course so PJ songs work for both of us & that rolls onto thinking about how fabulous it would be to meet someone, get with someone, fall for someone etc etc who is as into PJ as I am.... bla bla bla.... so there you go, another single PJ fa who would LOVE to hook up with another PJ fan!!

Don't sell yourself short! I have absolutely no knowledge of horror movies!

maybe we have a singles lottory. all the single guys toss thier tickets into a bucket. than an hour or so before the opening act takes teh stage, all the single girls pull a date from teh bucket....any extra guys get a new drinking bud for the night.

wait, how would this work with tickets pairs...hmm....might have to think about this one.

Ha ha, that's a fucking GREAT IDEA!!!! The logistics of doing this would be hard though. You could have everyone throw their spare in and the person that pulled their spare out would be their "PJ date" for the night, but how do you figure out what to do with the extra tickets?

I'm kinda wondering too. Checked it for the first time in a LONG TIME recently, and noticed it was dead.
