    Shit, we're going to need a touring BUS! :D


    Unless you have $30,000+ to spend you can forget about a bus, plus you'll need industry hookups in order to even have a chance to obtain one like the Euro Bus. But of course a van is far superior anyways :)

    I'm 19 and from the Boston area. If I have enough money this summer, I would totally be down for this.

    Haha, the bus was more of a joke, to be honest. I know how unrealistic it is - I once hired a school bus to take me and 25 other staff at a summer camp to my cottage for a day off... it was damn expensive even though it was just an hour away.

    This sounds cool. I'd be interested to find out though if Jason et all would be doing this if the tour is announced. If so, I'd rather join them. Nothing against the OP, it's just that there is more experience there :)
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    There wouldn't be enough seats on the van, I can tell you that right now

    Well not everyone goes to every show. There would be turn around. For example I can only do so many shows. So where I leave, some other fan picks up.

    With this Toronto rumour in early September, if that actually happens, that's likely where I'd get off, and my budget permits about ten shows.

    Or we can just steal a short bus like the movie Road Trip.

    Ah, so I take it PJbiz is THAT Jason. I'm sure he understands that the concept of touring in a van is far from patented, and, as a Pearl Jam fan on this board, I hope that he's excited to see that he's inspired many people to try this out - after all, if it weren't for that site, I wouldn't have started this thread!
