    And by the way, I'm doing because of the cause. It isn't some kinda of bribery act. If anything, being a follower of the band has contributed to my own awareness of issues such as this, but by no means am I or should anyone else do this because they think it will magically get the band to play in their neck of the woods. Do it because its a good idea and because it could help to offsett any negatives to the environment caused by those inevitable future tour dates in The South.

    Oh, ok-sure make me feel like a schmuck. I have no illusions that they'll change their touring plans b/c of some trees, but at least its a tangible way of showing them how much we want them here. And we get some trees, too.

    Go Pens.. ;)

    I would plant some trees! Hell, I would do most anything to get a concert in Nashville, Memphis, Louisville, Lexington or St. Louis (not technically the South, but ignored nonetheless).

    thought you might want to know, since it's free and you're a fan and all....

    twofer bump for tailgating and the only cheerleaders in the nhl!!


    I didn't know they have a red/white game. Im actually headed North to Penn. and upstate NY for a few days so I won't be going out to watch them. Im looking forward to the season though. Seeing as I didn't have any PJ shows in NC to spend money on, I decided to drop some cash on a 10 game package for the Canes. Ill be there opening night when they raise the banner.
    And YES a large bump (maybe even 2) for The Storm Squad. I think its weird how so many fans from around the league are apalled by the idea of cheerleaders at a hockey game. Its not like they are part of the game. They are just hot chicks who shoot out t-shirts between periods. Hockey traditionalists are a little set in their ways though.

    And to tie all this in to the original thread, PJ if you wanna drink toast from Lord Stanley's Cup, then you need to come south. It hasn't left this region in a few years.

    I don't think any southerner planting a tree is a waste...whether PJ shows up or not....the certificate mailing to the 10c sounds like a winner. Hell I'll go for that Hilton Head concert....That island was awesome years ago...I remember Dafuskie Island was nothing but a little general store, some native low country folks (about 4 families) and one dirt (sand) road. Hear its all million $ homes now...sigh...

    Bump because I remember cheerleaders at the Birmingham Bulls games back in the 1970's (when the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders broke big) during the hey-day of the World Hockey Association.......of which the Carolina Hurricanes were actually a member once upon a time (New England Whalers)

    Is it funny or ironic that someone named "Barkingdogs" would really like the idea of planting more trees???? ;)

    You know, NCBRI may have something there.... if we got a bunch of people to contribute to a cause like that, in behalf of PJ playing the South, it might encourage SOMEONE to at least let us know what's going on.......... and would make the boys, and the trees, happy!!

    I own no land. I have no money. Nevertheless, I will plant a tree for this cause. "Where there's a will, there's a way". ;) I'll take a pic and send it.

    If we plant them, they will come. :D
