Is it worth it to see ed solo?
I live in Rhode Island and just started a new job. It would be a dream to see Ed solo. I just dont know if its worth it financially. I could only attend a saturday show and then have to fly home on Sunday so im home for work on that monday. What are some of your opions? Thanks

I can only go to a Sat show due to work stuff and have been kicking it around.
The thought of an Ed only show initially dosen't fire me up but.... he has never done anything like this before and if some of the rumors are true, the rest of the band may be there.
Therefore, I am only kidding myself in questioning if I will try and get tickets... HELL YEAH ITS WORTH IT
Short-term, spending the money might make things difficult and the traveling might be a pain, but long-term you'll look back and all you will remember is that you saw an amazing show!
The last two years, i've spent my entire term student loan to afford tickets and flights to shows, and it left me so poor at the time. All i remember now is the magic i witnessed.
seeing as i'm on the west coast i'm all over this thing like white on rice of course lol if you can swing it financially and have the vacation time and such, go for it! california is beautiful (of course i'm biased ) good luck with whatever you decide!
exactly.
i am passing for numerous reasons...other coast....tax season!.....save $$$ for other, hopeful, shows.........BUT.....i would go if i were on the west coast...if it happened on the east coast, etc. it IS soooo individual. i think it would be VERY cool to see ed, just ed....what that may be....and so intimate. why not? if you want it, can swing it....go for it!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
If you have to ask, then you don't deserve the tickets. That's like asking if it's worth it to see God without St. Peter there?
the other foot in the gutter
sweet smell that they adore
I think I'd rather smother

And... well get to see him clean shaven, right?

Or maybe I could buy the SUPB I want so badly....
Either way, I'd feel guilty -- but more so for the Ed ticket. I'm hopeful that he'd understand...
Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

personally i think seeing ed perform his own solo songs is far too wonderful an opportunity to miss out on - you really cant imagine how jealous fans are who have no option of getting on a plane and flying around the world
if i were in your shoes id be scraping up the cash and calling in sick on monday - or actually i probably wouldn't need to, id be still so high from what id just heard and witnessed.
From here (Europe) I'm obliged to take a few days off (and I don't have much), buy an expensive ticket, etc. So, I have to decline this time...

It will be worth it as it will be a spiritual journey, seeing ed perform solo. If he winds up playing later in Philly or South Jersey, then I am going to kick myself and apologize to my wife a 1000 times for spending so much and leaving her with the kids by herself for so long when Ed wound up playing right here. So part of me really hopes he doesnt come East just to justify my actions of heading to Cali
Agreed I'm in the same boat. Never been to the west coast before, but I think its totally worth it.
Both are staying for free at my house. Both got flights between $250. and $350.
We will probably eat out a lot so that will be pricey. The guy from Boston is turning it into a regular vacation. 5 days. We will probably hit S.D. for the day, and check out the area around here. Perhaps we might do Sea World or the like.
So his trip can be justified by more than the tickets he is paying for to see PJ twice. (still trying to work this all out by the way)
My other friend got 10C for both LA shows. He is riding in on Sat Morning and leaving Sunday. The proverbial whirlwind tour.
Everyone is different. PJ is his hobby and Eddie is his #1 guy. He flew in for Hullabaloo. That was expensive. Would I fly to Philly. No.
But I have a family and these two guys are single and with a girlfriend respectively.
So each person has to evaluate for themselves. If we were all rich then hell yes. I would fly to New Zealand to see Eddie solo, but I would stay for 2 weeks and see the country.
If I'm poor and have a family I can't even justify going to SB and SD along with the two LA shows.
That seems to be my case right now.
These are questions that can only be answered by the individual and their financial, time off, travel minded situations.
Peace.
no way. if i wanted to get put to sleep, I would just put on nascar. Jack Johnson = BORING!!
its all her fault (not stone's). it was her who said for me to go for it and see if i got tix during the presale etc. ofcourse when they added the 2nd SD show, and I caught a bolt of lightening and got tix for that show too, she wasnt pleased
