    My Theory:
    Lollapalooza wants to make the official announcement about PJ playing there, so the PJ camp is waiting for their announcement first before they announce all the dates. Typically festivals prefer making the announcements themselves because it is their production. So I expect that as soon as Lolla makes their official announcement with all the bands, PJ will make their announcement. Probably the same day.

    Sounds reasonable. Hope you're right....

    Good point. However, it seems like they could go ahead and annouce the other dates and simply leave lolla out of the announcement.

    well, the idea would be to raise some money or something for a chosen recipient...i'm not sure how a peace rally would achieve that.

    plus, it's potentially polarizing. not everybody is going to be on board with this. might start a confrontation.... maybe something a little more generic....with a little broader appeal?
    thats cool, but we do already raise money for the charity of their choice by purchasing a ticket I thought......and it is not a big deal to be polorizing and raise awareness to something you believe. I have no problem with those that are not on board they would not have to participate, it could be for those who are sick and tired of an unlawful war and having our youngsters killed and maimed for what, I cant really be certain, but I think it stinks. I would enjoy seeing a peace rally at the lot before a show and not so sure Pearl Jam wouldn't enjoy it either.

    Quiet end to a long day....rush here, rush there, rush everywhere!!!! Volunteered for another committee chair with the local Audubon Society, heard the head of the National Wildlife Federation speak on the BSC campus, hunted for amphibians & reptiles in the rain, picked up a prescription from the Walgreens, actually ate two meals, sat through a meeting, sat through a presentation on Darters (fish) endemic to springs in the area, caught the South Park that we missed last night because they moved "Lost" to 9:00 central and kissed my beautiful wife. :D

    Holy Krzyzewski! Still no answer on the wings? Saw my Canes lose a tough one thanks to a possessed Devil named Brodeur. Still no news on the PJ front. I will echo what everyone else said. It's been a long day. I should be sleeping, but I guess I'll go watch the end of the Carolina game.
    Good night "The South".

    I saw the first few minutes of South Park before falling asleep last night. Is there any line those guys won't cross on? Thank goodness for DVR. I have to finish watching that and Lost also. I saw a movie Matt and Trey did back before they started South Park. It was so bad, yet one of those things you can't turn away from. It is called Cannibal The Musical.

    Thank God its Friday! Today's brilliant thread of the day will undoubtedly be the "Official Please drive from the South to the North" thread. I love it when we annoy the fuck out of losers like the person who started that one. Why is it so hard for someone to get it? Nothing but love coming from this thread. All we are saying is that we love this band and we hope they play somewhere down in our neck of the woods the next time they tour the US. That's all! Why is that so bizarre? You would think PJ had never played The South the way some of those simple minded thread starters think/post. The truth is, prior to 2006, there is no precedent for them skipping large sections of the country, much less them skipping them without letting anyone know. A lot of people do travel long distances to see shows. I'm probably in the minority. The farthest I have ever traveled is about 5 hours, but many people down here have been just about everywhere the band has ever played
    I know I shouldn't get pissed off at the trolling wastes of space who start threads like that, but its just so ignorant. How could any fan of this band not have a strong desire for everyone to be able to see them do what they do best, perform? Dude, their music and their live shows are something that should be shared and enjoyed by all. Hell, I wish they would go right to the house of the fucker who started that thread and play in his/her living room. How someone could be such a dick, I will not understand. You would think the MANY people who have posted in this thread are jumping out of the computer screen screaming "PLAY THE SOUTH" repeatedly at the people who start those negative threads. What are we doing to annoy them? Posting on a message board?
    Excuse the rant, but I needed to get that off my chest. Kinda sums up my disappointment in what is a very vocal but small minority of PJ fans. This post won't do anything to stop that. There will still be the requisite 5 new threads a day with the idiotic, uninformed, stereotype laced monologues. While I will never lose faith in this band, I am starting to lose faith in some of the fan base.

    Sorry! Just needed to vent for a bit. I feel much better now. You guys should try it! It's a good cleansing mental exercise. :) And damnit, where are those bat wings?

    Cmon NCBRI - you're a smart guy. I'm sure you realize by this time in your life that there are people out there who have big problems - mentally, emotionally and psychologically. They do that shit just to try to get under people's skin. It gives them some kind of cheap thrill because they're such fucking unhappy people. They're buttholes, they're ignorant and for the most part they're to be pitied. Hard to believe that people like that could be Pearl Jam fans but there's no rule that says you have to have your shit together to enjoy good music. Hell, you know that. As much as I hate to admit it, and if you think about it you know it's true, I have seen big time assholes at PJ shows. Proportionately fewer mind you, but assholes just the same.

    Have a great Friday everybody...
    and PJ

    True weenie. It would be nice to think that we have that nice little slice of utopia and that all PJ fans are like us... but sadly that is far from true.

    Yes, I'm hurtin' on the "official" tour news. Really is bothering me. As if there is a problem.

    Not trying to string out the Bat Wings answer, but I think someone can get the answer in the next few hours. I have and will try to pose trivia questions that are not easily Googled, but I thought someone on this thread would surely know whose hands the wings ended up in.

    Faithfull.

    Being from the North, I'm not sure why anyone would get upset about a thread like this. I'm happy when pearl jam plays anywhere in the US because it means there is a chance I'll get to see a show. I think you guys are due for some shows and I'd love to travel and see a few. So............



    Play the South!


    Hoping for some good news from JTR today :) (and an answer about the bat wings)

    Don't get the wrong impression. I fully expect and have been assured that everything will work out as planned. It is just taking too damn long.

    hi there ~ i woke up with the mother of all headaches today, couldnt even make it out the door to the gym, which i honestly do enjoy, so 8 hours on this computer with my head pounding and my neck aching should just be an effen treat!

    that being said, i'm obviously not 100% over here, and maybe that explains my overall shit attitude and feeling of extreme disappointment that we are still waiting for an answer and still obviously causing a huge problem for random people on the board simply by keeping our peaceful movement going in this single orderly thread over here on the porch. i agree with ncbri, it gets under my skin sometimes that other people have such a problem with us, even though i know it truly isn't worth it and they are insignificant in the overall big picture.

    we didn't come here to piss anyone off, we just want our pearl jam like the rest of you, so if our thread bothers you, then just stay out of it, go around it, ignore it, whatever it takes. i think i speak for the group (or at least the majority) when i say that we're not going anywhere just yet.
