Traveling from Chicago by car and doing all June tour dates (please read)

To touch my main points and elaborate later...

1. Looking for fanatical riders like myself to help pay fuel costs and who don't mind being pounded with PJ on my stereo and other bands related to PJ, even if you can't wrap your head around it. Feel free to bring any cool rarities along as well.

2. Looking for lodging in trade for tickets that I have (will list available tix later) or enough of a group traveling together to make gas and hotel costs as low as possible.

3. Looking for a great group of happy, free-loving tour buddies so that smiles remain on our faces and we work together as a dedicated group to make this a very special experience. Only peace, love and happiness are allowed on my bus (2004 Altima seats 5 w/seat belts).

Now the elaboration:
I love taking a good old road trip, but a full tour of "camping" is not an option for me. I would expect that all riders would have a shower a minimum of every 2nd day. I just don't do really stinky feet, sorry to those inflicted with a fungus on their feet. Also B.O. can really gross me out. What can I say? I have very sensitive olfactory glands.

As timing would be tight to make it to all these shows, we would have to have a very organized plan to be together at a certain place and certain time or there could be some riders left-a-walkin'. I would lay out a departure time from each place and would be very prompt to remain on that schedule. I would assume we would all share cell #'s with eachother so good contact can be maintained. Any Europeans coming this way that have an issue with cell service, I would recommend using a minute by minute or pay as you go plan on a real cheap Virgin Mobile phone or similar company.

I am very open to changing riders during the trip, this would all have to be arranged in advance, unless luck would so have it at any point in the journey where faith and karma come in to play.

Lastly, this is my ticket situation. You are more than welcome to message me regarding my extras, but really, I am looking for the above type riders, so just offers to buy my tickets won't really be an option until all negotiations are complete and I know what I have left. In other words, my extras will be given priority to those willing to ride/share costs.

West Palm Beach, FLA - One extra 10C tic - spoken for by an entire tour rider! Bring on the Minnesotans. =)
Tampa, FLA - One extra 10C tic - on hold for Urs and one other person in line if Urs doesn't need it.
Bonnaroo - I'm skipping it to spend the weekend with my father, but can still get my riders to and from there - Dad lives about 1 hour from 'roo.
Columbia, SC - One extra 10C tic - Spoken for by a rider
Virginia Beach, VA One extra 10C tic - Spoken for by rider
Camden, NJ night one - One extra 10C tic - spoken for by an entire tour rider! YES!
Camben, NJ night two - Two extra 10C tix - Spoken for by a beautiful lady I've yet to meet face to face and sharing hotel. YES again!
Washington, DC - no exta ticket
MSG night one - Two extra 10C tix - one spoken for by a rider
MSG night two - Two extra 10C tix - one spoken for by a rider
Hartford, CT - Two extra 10C tix - both spoken for by riders
Mansfield, MA night one - Two extra 10C tix (would dig staying in Providence, RI at least one of these nights)
Mansfield, MA night two - Two extra 10C tix - one spoken for by a rider

Before everyone starts wondering why I have 2 extras of some tix, seeing as my boyfriend will be joining me for Camden night two and the rest of the tour from there, we both tried for 10C tix under our own accounts and both were successful in all cases.

I'm looking forward to an amazing journey with new/old friends and the bond between fans that can be made on such a trip.

Please remember, this is a one way loop.. I will depart Chicago in time to get to the first show in FLA, but after Mansfield I will take the shortest route back to Chicago. Trying to avoid any confusing or unnecessary questions by being thorough.

Also, neither of our 10C numbers are fantastic, so don't message me asking what they are.. You're either in the car or not. I don't care where you sit and I don't care where I sit. I'm all for trade ups at any given time.

One last thought, shoulder and neck rubs are appreciated seeing as I will be doing all of the driving. Also, in the event of a tight squeeze of a lot of people in a small hotel room, I would appreciate a decently comfortable place to lay my head so that I am not drowsy driving. =)

That's it for now,

PEACE!

    I'm the opposite of bossy, but I am organized and seeing as the plan is to catch all the shows, I think good communication and a well thought out plan will be the best method. Glad it doesn't appeal to you because I don't like the thought of anyone being beaten!

    Car is filling up quickly and it sounds like it will shape up to be an awesome journey!

    I do truly love Pearl Jam fans, almost as much as Pearl Jam themselves!
