Some of my friends kinda make fun of me because I have so much Pearl Jam items and do things because of Pearl Jam, Like Brad show's and Flight To Mars. Or going to Liamm Finn at Easystreet hoping Ed stop's by?

Do any of you kinda feel your friends get a chuckle out of you and Pearl Jam.

    all the time! My office is pretty much a Pearl Jam room, how the wife put up with it, I'll never know. :)

    The biggest question that I always get is (after they see my two towers with all of the 2000 and 2003 boots) why do you have so many of the same CD? And then when I explain to them that it's one for each show and I have them all, they really look at me like I'm crazy :D

    Every chance they get. They love to sing Evenflow around me with mumbled lyrics.

    Everyone in my fraternity makes fun of me for being a Pearl Jamaholic and EV impersonator.

    At my senior roast my buddy said:

    Yeah, I don't even bother explaining that. If you aren't into music you just don't get it.

    A lot of my friends are fans as well, so they all understand it. A lot of people just ask about the band and if I got any tour plans coming up. Do some of them think I'm stupid for spending so much cash on the band? Sure. Hell, even I do.

    Yep - my wife gives me a hard time about it all the time. And I have a few buddies that every time we're out for a few drinks, at some point during the night the question comes up...

    "so, did you get to f%$# Eddie yet?"

    whenever i tell some of my friends im excited about something, theyre like "here we go again, is it another pearl jam concert?"
    my parents are the worst though, because whenever a song comes on the radio they fuck it up on purpose, for instance they'll sing "glorified version of a pelican!" or "ohh iiii, ohhhh amstellll light" instead of i'm still alive. and whenever a pearl jam song comes on the radio i get excited, but they always go "don't you already have this song on cd why do you care if it's on the radio you can just go home and listen to it" i dunno, it's just not the same i rarely get to hear pearl jam on the radio amongst all the foo fighters and system of a down they normally play.

    I can't help but think I have answered this although I can't find it here........

    but my kids are so sick of hearing PJ when we drive and they make fun of me on this site all of the time.....

    but I figure one day they will have good taste and join me.......
