***Official Please Play The South Petition***

Oooooohh I'm sick and tired of hearing things about how nice, warm, hot, great etc etc Florida IS!!!!!! All we want is the cold...please give us some cold, all we want is the cold, please give us some cold, all we want is some cold, WE CAN HANDLE THE COLD!


hahahah, please excuse my moment of lameness.

But really, I hope we get some cooler air around here

Cold seems to be the topic. 36 degrees here in the heart of Carolina. Its only expected to reach the low 40s today and tomorrow and we just might see some winter precipitation in the morning. Would be nice. I love warm weather, but a nice cold snap and some white fluffy stuff (no ice please) are always welcome. We are usually lucky enough to get one or two snowfalls a year. Last year was the exception.

I don't believe in snow
I don't believe in snow
I don't believe in snow
Cause we didn't get nothin' last year

I'll take it! and a PJ show in Atlanta too- I'll be there! Already researching the venues and nearby hotels.

If they DO play Atlanta, and they play Phillips (most likely) you should stay at the hotel attached to Phillips - and the CNN HQTRS building. I'm pretty sure it's the Omni. You don't even have to go outside to get into Phillips, plus there's all kinds of food establishments and shops on the first floor of the CNN building. You're also in the heart of downtown and don't need a car. You can take MARTA everywhere.

I know you're in Florida, and I'm from Miami, but you really need to go to the Atlanta aquarium if you're ever here. It's unbelievable! There's a glass wall that's about 50 feet high and 70 ft. wide that you can sit on the floor in front of and watch everything. You feel like you're sitting on the bottom of the ocean watching all these cool sea creatures. FANTASTIC! It's the one thing in downtown Atlanta I highly recommend. The CNN building tour is pretty neat too. Hell, I'll take off work and go with you!!!

Pearl Jam PLEASE PLAY THE SOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Awesome! thanks. I will book a room the day they announce tour dates. I'm hoping to spend some time there - but if Pearl Jam is heading South after that show, so will I. Maybe can go a day or two early.

I love aquariums - many many years ago I volunteered at the New England Aquarium and was able to run around behind all the exhibits. It was very cool. - that was the in the day of Andre the seal. All I've seen lately is Seaworld - where the most impressive things are the lines you must wait in. I've stayed away since the kids are grown and I don't have to chaperone school trips.

Wow, volunteering at an aquarium must have been fun! You would definitely enjoy this one - it also has a tunnel you walk through and the ceiling is the aquarium. The creatures are swimming along the sides and over you.

Yeah, I'm also curious about how they'd run a Southern tour and what cities would be back to back. I'm hoping they start in West Palm, then head to Orlando. They'd probably hit Atlanta after that....... me and my daydreaming!!!~~~~~~~~

Buuuummmmp!!!!!!

and I'm all for a show in the south. I'm tired of dressing like an eskimo:)

I would probably hit all Fla. shows and the Atlanta show. That would be a nice road trip. I've already put everyone on notice at work... just in case.
