I've figured out numbers: 3 years, 1000 posts, 5000+ dollars, zero regrets.

ok, so I joined this fan club and board on July 31th of 2005 (#354,XXX), about a week after I was driving and heard on the radio that Pearl Jam was playing the Borgata and sold out both nights within like 2 minutes. I had never seen PJ and having liked them this like 8th grade or something, my heart sank as I heard that they were so close and I missed the sale.... enter stage my friend Jon (October22) and the magic of Ebay.

Long story short:

    Wow, you're really going all out in '08! Hey, I didn't know they played in New York on July 5 and New Jersey on July 7, were those secret shows or something?? ;)
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    I can see my face in the first one. I am the tall one towering over everybody and forgot about this picture. I believe that was from the 10/01/05 show in which Ed asked for the picture to be taken for Kelly Slater. That was my first show. I have since been to nine others, going to see EV in NJ, and have over 2500 posts, spent close to $2000 in Pearl Jam "goods" and zero regrets in these three years as well.
    Great thread.

    I think its great!
    If you can afford it I say knock yourself out.... I don't regret one of the shows I have attended and while they have diminished with the years as my children count increased - LOL - I try to go to as many shows as I can when they go on tour...

    I hope you have a great time at the EV solo shows...
