    I am with you guys smokeabud and alaskadude. I am currently in Oregon, but that is mainly because there is no law school in Alaska. I am heading up to Anchorage for 12 weeks this summer, and have a bad feeling that I am going to miss any Portland or Seattle date because I'll be working up in the great north. Ben Harper has already screwed my by playing the Gorge and Bend right after I bail out of the lower 48. I remember the Misfits and Cowboy Junkies played up there last summer and it was a huge deal. Anchorage is starved for concerts and someone as big as PJ would easily sell out any venue they play. They don't need an arena...just clear out a field and play until it gets dark (and watch out for bears).

    I go to the Yukon once per year, and I'm moving up there next summer.

    I said,"for others..."

    Don't tell everybody how great it is...they'll want to move there.

    Sorry.

    I'm already here...when are moving up and where are you going to be living?

    Just to get this back on the first page, I'll put a new post on the thread...

    For the love of all gods, give us some Alaska shows. Not to be too selfish here, but I will be up there for most of the summer and will probably not have a chance to catch any shows in Washington state or Oregon. I promise to give my other fan club ticket to a citizen of Alaska in the guise of creating a new fan. There are so many people who flock to Anchorage in the summer that any show will have no trouble selling out. The hikes around Anchorage and pizza and beer at The Moose's Tooth alone are worth the trip.

    I can't say anything about the surfing (apparently this was a debate already in this thread), seeing as I am a skier myself. However, there are many more/alternative reasons to make a summer trek up to Alaska in the summertime. I have been up there twice on the solstice in the past 5 years and both experiences have been great (for reasons I really won't get into on this board).

    Another LA date...blah. SoCal gets shows every tour. If the band really wants to impress the fans and have a historic show, play the great north!

    awww. That's precious. :)


    I wish PJ played AK when I lived there. I'm wondering if it's a venue issue. It's such a beautiful place and since the band appreciates doing the outdoors type of stuff, you'd think AK is definitely a place they'd make it a point to play. I've always wondered why they haven't. If they ever do, I'm there!
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    The Grateful Dead used to play Anchorage. I think Alaska would be a great place to see a show. It could and would take place in the summer. It could start at about 1:00am like the fireworks celebrations on the 4th of July because its ALWAYS light out in the summer.

    Maybe if we are lucky they will start or end the second leg with a few Alaska dates. Kick off the second leg in Fairbanks with a solstice show then a pair in Anchorage. No, I am not high; why do you ask?

    Alaska was a great place before the military and the oil companies ruined it. Let's take it back for at least one night under the "low light" of Alaskan summer night.

    Another daily bump for this thread. I will keep doing it until the band makes the decision official to skip our largest state yet again, thus ruining any chance I have to see them this summer.

    do people actually live in alaska? i thought it was all grizzly bears and hunting cabins..

    joking of course, my guess is likely because the remoteness.. no doubt they've considered it, but how many fans would follow them to the end of the world? ok.. bad choice of words there as thats probably a lot..

    it'd be a small show for sure if it even happend.. but hey, they played 2 shows in Newfoundland so anything is possible...
