What it all means to me

I've been in the ten club since Vs came out. This is my first posting. What do I write?

Pj music for me is an escape. Not many of my friends are pj fans. I have one buddy that got me into pJ and other music. Matt is like my brother, I've known him for almost 30 years. We both are huge fans and get the music.

We attend all the Northwest shows together. It's a time we look forward to. We usually sit up front at the shows. The fans are so great. In a strange kind of way, it's like a family reunion. I've met some really cool people at the shows. It's great when I go to a show and meet these people again.

It's so refreshing to see a band that is humble and doesn't give into the stereotypical rock and roll lifestyle.

The music and friends helped me in a couple of rough spots in my life. I don't need to have someone interpret a song for me. I interpret the music the way I want and make it my own. I don't see Pj as the savior of my soul. That can only be done from withins ones self.

Anyway, thanks Pj for the great music. And thanks for being so down earth.

    No tickets for the 21, fingers crossed for the 22. If not then ticketmaster. At this point really don't care how I get them.

    ive said it before and i'll say it again, music is the only reason I get out of bed. I dont think i would bother trying to survive if music somehow disappeared overnight. i would just end it.

    music is my savior and salvation. its my life.

    Its pretty cool that words, music, lyrics and all that could somehow mean something to me, or you, or any of us. The fact it was created many miles away from us, also makes it fascinating when we can connect with music and feel like it speaks to us and about us
