Who on this board lives in Phoenix?

ChrissySistrum

How does the weekend of 9/8 sound for everyone? I'd offer to have a bbq at our house...that way we could play all the PJ music we want! BUT, I live in Peoria!


We're getting closer to a plan....

I live in Minneapolis now, but will probably be moving to Phoenix in September. I'm going to be out there approx Aug 9 - 22nd.

If the get together happens during that time I'd like to attend- it'd be great to hit the ground running by meeting other pj folks in the area.

Of course your invited. The more people we have the better it will be.

BBQ is a great idea. I live in Chandler and willing to make the drive. No big deal. Can you say carpool. All I need is some cold water and some kick ass Pearl Jam for the road. That weekend is even good with me. I'll bring a camera also. What else could I bring... :-)

I love that idea, but of course Peoria is close to me.

We could do both. Casey Moore's in Tempe in August and, assuming all goes well, the bbq in September. I'll send out PMs on Sunday, but today I'm busy grading final exams - ugh!


Thanks Dan, I'll let you know when I get replies and we can figure out what works best.

And yes bgirl59, you're definitely invited if you want to drive up. That would be great!

MrMerkinball

I hate to interupt you all. I just wanted to say that I miss living in Arizona. I would so be there for a BBQ.

I'm in North Central also, so either Peoria or Tempe is fine with me. Would love to make both events, but from what I'm reading the August date people seem to be learning to is the 25th, when I will be in California. One event doesn't have to depend on the other one - I'm up for either/or/both ... whatever. So if I can't be at the first one, we'd darned well better also be having the bbq in September. It would be nice to make some more PJ friends and who knows maybe do a road trip to the next nearby out of town tour stop, or some pre-show party stuff in the future, that would be cool. Anyhow, keep me posted - if I'm in town I'll be at the August one, and a Peoria bbq in September sounds awesome.

Sounds good Sharon, just shoot me a PM and we will go from there. Sorry you have to work today. :-(

Hey Dan, the road trip idea sounds great. I cannot wait until PJ announces the US leg 3 tour, hopefully early '07, which should hit the southern states. I like the idea of hitting Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to name a few.

mca47

I think Sunday 9/10 would be cool.

I'm going to be in Chicago 9/7-9/9 for work....

Yeeeeeah..the 10th

Hi Dan,

I would be all over that, I'd like to see as many as possible within reason.

You know there's no reason we have to wait on this get together thing, if some of us just informally want to get together and go out to a club or have a few beers or something, that would be cool too. If anyone is up for that sometime, pm me and hit me up.

I'm in Gilbert and would love to meet up with other fans...

Going to SD show b/c PHX is not on the list... I'd still love for a Mesa Amp. show in October or November for fans and a select few

Oh, no doubt!! I'd LOVE another Mesa Ampatheater show - Cricket Pavillion sucks ass. Mesa Ampatheater was wonderful, I wish they'd play there again too.

You should come back and visit us.



Okay, I've got a list of 20 interested people. I'll send PMs in the morning and see what we can figure out.

ChrissySistrum

Sounds good Sharon! Good morning Arizona people!

SharonC

Okay, I sent PMs to 20 people (not including me ). I did include the peope in Tucson in case they are interested in driving up (carpool?). As soon as I get replies back, we'll start pinning this thing down.

Driftin'Along

What a great idea. I am definately in for a meet and greet.

ChrissySistrum

I got my PM! Sounds like things are coming together! It will be fun!

Hello fellow Valley of the Sun Pearl Jam fans. I'm in the Ahwatukee area over by the Pointe. I've been a Pearl Jam fan since 1992. My first PJ show was Mesa Amphitheater during the Vs tour. That was an amazing show. I would LOVE to see them play Mesa Amph again this tour, but at this point I don't really care what venue they play. I just want to see them in the Valley again. Until that happens, I have December 9th circled on my calendar. I'm also a huge U2 fan and had a GA field ticket for the original April 8th U2 show in Honolulu and kept the ticket after U2 postponed that concert. I ended up going to Hawaii anyway in April and met up with quite a few other U2 fans who had also made the trip despite there not being a concert. Had a great time! I loved Hawaii so much I ended up going back last week for a 4 day mini-vacation. One more trip back to paradise in December to see both U2 and Pearl Jam. I can't wait! The concert lineup I've dreamt about!! I did manage to buy another GA ticket online Saturday morning for Dec 9th. Now comes to tough task of finding a g/f to take with me.

RobynRAZ

Got the message and responded! Now, I am excited (even if I am pregnant and will miss out on any drinking fun) but at least I will get a chance to meet some fellow PJ lovers! Hope to see as many of you as possible soon! Plus a big thanks to Chrissy for offering to do the BBQ at her house (who cares if some have to drive - it's Phoenix someone will always have a haul)!

SharonC

I've heard back from about 9 people so far. There's no day in August that will work for everyone, but hopefully we can get most people there. I think I'll give people some time to respond tomorrow and then we'll pick a date tomorrow afternoon/evening.

So far, just about everyone can do the bbq in Sept. though.

SharonC

I just sent you all a PM, but I'm going to post this too in case anyone else comes along and wants to join us.

We're meeting at Casey Moore's in Tempe both on Saturday August 12th and Friday, August 25th. Let's plan on meeting about 7:00 pm and I'll try to get there a little early and get a table for us.

Details about Chrissy Sistrum's bbq will be sent out later, but it looks like the weekend of Sept. 9th is going to work.

Hope to see you all soon.

Hawii and Pearl Jam/U2. Dude, you will not have any trouble finding someone to go with. Have fun.

Your not to far from me. I'm in Chandler near Chandler Regional Hospital. You up for a get together?

That is near Zia Records, my favorite CD shop. You can always find some good boots from the 2000 tour there. Nice!
