Huh, guys?! There's always someone who is pissed. I actually had one person say "eff Ed" "eff PJ" because there were no shows near them. :eek:

    that's why i'm avoiding 99% of threads here. reading all the complaints makes me hate humanity.

    yep, there are a lot of people on here who need to practise some self-control and stop posting every bit of word vomit that comes out of their mouth.

    If people are so so desperate to go to a show that they're practically crying and acting like spoiled brats, then they should wipe their tears and try to make plans to travel to a show. If not, then it's not the end of the world!

    I love humanity, really I do!! Just not a fan of so much animosity. This is the exact reason I stopped posting for a while.

    gotta love it! I'm just happy they still tour. If this is the only leg it will be the first time since 03 I have not seen them in a calender year. Shit happens!

    exactly! i'm in a quandry at the moment about the MSG shows, just cuz the 25th lands on my bday, and it would be an *amazing* bday gift to myself. but that ain't nobody's problem but mine, and certainly isn't the band's so why am i gonna throw a fit?

    thank you! I posted a similar response to a thread but Im glad someone started a thread on it. There's too much whining around here. PJ cant go to every single city, state in the country. They gotta spread it around. The south definitely got left out after 2004, and still didn't get much this time around. We here on the east coast aren't getting any Ed shows as of now. It is still early and I'm just about sure that there will be more shows to come. Be patient and if you hafta travel to see them make it happen!

    I'm happy and I have no chance of seeing half the tour because I'll be in Michigan for a wedding... but no complaints here. :D

    Travelling to a show makes it all the more fun! You get to see a new place AND see PJ, it doesn't get better than that.

    Wanting to see a PJ show in your backyard every single time would be a bit boring, wouldn't it?

    See, a person in my position could do one of three things.. (or more haha)

    A. Be all pissy and throw a mental that they bought 1200 dollars worth of roo tickets.. when they could have gone to 4+ shows on the east coast

    B. Think of various ways to miss work so much in June that you're hardly considered employed

    or C. Chalk it up to Roo being something he/she has NEVER done before and a totally different experience. Be thankful that he/she has the time and money to attend something that is going to be awesome. Be happy that he/she STILL will get to see PJ preform at Roo. And lastly, not kick him/herself for moving to Chicago away from Philly where they are surrounded by PJ tour dates ;)


    So I'm totally on option C. This band doesn't owe me shit. I am damn lucky to be able to have seen them 4 times already and looking forward to Roo on the way. Yeah its sorta murphy's law that now that I am in Chicago the next time they tour its all right where I could have gone, but thats LIFE! My husband couldn't travel then anyways. I did not chose to go to Roo because I thought I would never in a million years see PJ again if I didn't run to TN, but its a different experience for me all around. Sooooo.. Yay! I am happy for my East Coasters out there.. You little brats better make Camden awesome like the times I have been there..

    and I hope to see some of you people rocking out at Roo..

    Chin up loves.. its not the end of the world!

    I was just talking to a couple friends about this today actually! What better reason to travel to a new place?!! :) Some of my best trips have been PJ-related...and, let's face it, you meet SO MANY wonderful people!!! :D I have friends all over the country, and internationally actually, that I met just by going to a show out of town!

    I'm sorry, but I disagree. They could've pleased everyone. A new album would've pleased everyone.

    You are so right. I plan on seeing them on the West Coast, if they add some shows. It's a great excuse to travel more :)

    no because then people would ask "but where's the avocado B sides" or "i don't like ____ as the producer, they suck", or "are they still going to use soy ink in the printing process" :p

    It makes me happy that none of the band members read this crap... at least, I HOPE none of the band members read this crap. That way, they would still believe we are the cool, selfless people they think we are... and not the selfish tantrum-throwing cry babies we truely are.

    Well it just seems to be the same general areas that get shows year after year. How many shows have the Boston/NJ/NY/Penn area had since 2000? And how many have the southwest had? We had a few in 2003. Denver with Tom Petty in '06 does not count. Basically no shows in 5 years. So when I see fucking Massachusetts on a short tour line up yet again, yeah, I get a little disheartened. Not all of us can afford vacation days and plane tickets to go see PJ as often as others, so it just sucks to have to sit out yet another round of shows and just watch the setlists and the youtubes online. Not the same.
