    No worries....VCF means "Vote For Change" an organization that sponsored a string of concerts in the "swing" states prior to the last presidential election to get people out to vote. Pearl Jam played Kissimmee, FL (w/ tim robbins etc.)...there was a Bruce Springsteen concert, a Dixie Chicks... etc.

    Perhaps I skimmed over it, but did none of you read that Bonnaroo tidbit in the "Jeff Ament spoke to my class" thread?

    Tennessee is definitely in the South and only an eight-hour drive from where I am in Florida.

    Do you wonder if there could be a summer tour down this way?

    yea I know....thought the same thing....that and seeing Eddie on TV with Sean promoting movie......almost got him a bono mixed up...wtf.

    Really makes you wonder if they still have the musical drive....or just marketing money drive.....and sure its not the whole band...but.

    fk prove us wrong....play some gigs in the south....some 10 club member shows....... just a few...bring minimal gear....small production...play some tunes with some of your freinds......couple of hours....not much to ask.
