    I'm digging this itinerary, too! I haven't been around this thread lately but when the rumors start flying I get my hopes up.....

    As much as I would love to have Pearl Jam in my hometown (no sleep that night!) I have to say Charlotte is the better place for a PJ show. It's a little over an hour from here so I certainly don't mind that drive. They've never played Columbia but nobody seems to do well here except for country bands and the occasional hair band. So, they should play where they can sell more tickets so we don't have to keep hearing about that bullshit from everybody!

    Happy (belated) birthdays to Spalma and Weenie. I'm 48, so I'm chasing you both!

    PLAY THE SOUTH IN 2007!

    TD Waterhouse is good only if they do GA. I saw GreenDay there in GA and it was amazing. Don't know what it's like with seats on the floor instead. Maybe PJ would do a GA? Nah, doubt it.

    The sides near the stage are okay but some seats (down low or up high) at the sides would be pretty crappy. But at THIS point, I'll take anything.... :)

    When they played Greenville in 1998 the floor was general admission.....

    Back from the Christmas Bird Count @ Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge bump

    Left the Phoenix House (that's what we call our home) at 4:00 am to be at Wheeler just before the sun began rising.........counted birds until dark, went to the compilation and drove home. It was a good day in the field.....thousands of ducks, hundreds of Sandhill Cranes and a large number of Snow Geese. I did miss out on sighting the Tundra Swam who is currently visiting the refuge....would have been a life-bird for me. There's always another day...

    Hey Tybird:
    Sounds like the CBC was awesome. I used to be a birder when I lived in Seattle - birds out there are the size of turkeys! Just kidding, but they are HUGE and the differentiation in species in the West is really interesting when all you've lived on were Eastern birds all your life ( like I had ). The grackles are as big as cats and I used to fear for my kitty's life when she was in our backyard. We often had groups of birds land in our back yard for food and water on their way South again near Winter's end. It was a great time in my life.

    Anyway, glad to see you enjoying the birds so much. Get out to the great NW sometime if you can. Their version of the Blue Jay is absolutely beautiful.

    It was an awesome day.....maybe not as good as last year's CBC at Wheeler (lead the nation in a couple of species including Cedar Waxwings).....due to the drought conditions this summer, a lot of the areas are traditionally wet this time of year are still dry or above water.

    The Birmingham CBC is next Saturday, and we will host the compilation at our house.

    We are planning to travel in the west next summer...........Alaska is the main target right now.

    Lots of bird lovers in here. Saw something over Thanksgiving at my parents house in NE North Carolina that I have never seen around there before. A bald eagle. Was riding with my dad and looked up ahead and saw a great big bird flying off across the field with what appeard to be the remains of a possum or some other roadkill. Recognized what it was as soon as I saw the white head.

    Judging by peoples ages here, I would say we are a very mature South. I'm 33.

    The Bald Eagle could actually be removed from the Endangered Species List due to its booming population.........the numbers are way up in the lower 48. It is fairly common to see nesting Bald Eagles in several locations in Alabama.

    I had to duck on today's early AM doggie walk to avoid being hit by 3 pairs of cardinals. Rather common but always a delight to see.

    Sounds like a great outdoor day for all the South.

    Gonna go listen to Benaroya.

    Bump.
