    Going out there for your kids 1st PJ shows is a wise choice. You see LA(not a bad seat in the house) and San Diego looks relatively small compared to the big east coast venues. And to get that one last crack at some sweet weather before the harsh winter arrives...is priceless.

    And after its all said and done......Philly around Halloween,Spectrum,special guests,Cheesesteaks!! Its all been sinking in with me!


    Man, we are a spoiled bunch :lol:

    :D Awesome!

    Seems to be the year a lot of PJ kids are involved with their parents.

    It's spreading over to my house too, with my soon to be 14 yr old daughter (turns 14 on Monday) and she has not gone to ANY concert (never showed any interest other than hanging out with her dad at local festivals)... and she would love her first concert experience to be with PJ next year, if possible.

    She's really excited too!

    I hope your boys have a blast in LA & SD!

    Yup! I'm taking my 14 year old to see PJ in Adelaide, which will be her first rock concert. Then I'm taking my 15 year old to see them in Sydney, who saw them at the age of 9 and then again when she was 12. Hope your 14 year old gets to see them next year.

    This is like a christmas letter to Santa (or Hanukkah and Harry in my case) but here it goes

    Dear Santa (Eddie):

    I am taking my two sons from NJ out to LA and San Diego to see their first Pearl Jam shows. They are quite excited and have been requesting more and more songs to listen to so that they will know them before the shows. I have been trying to educate them on the amazingly diverse set lists and the chances of them seeing their favorite songs at your shows. They have been to an AC/DC concert and got to hear everything they knew since all their shows are pretty much the same as they were 15 years ago. Getting them some of the official bootlegs has gotten them really into more songs. They are really into The Fixer and are glad that they most likely will hear it.

    However from the beginning they each had one favorite song and I have to constantly replay it in the car every trip. I would love each one to get to hear their favorite if it is at all possible.

    For the October 7th LA show (LA4) my oldest Cole, 9, is going and he loves Hail, Hail. You will enjoy his pure joy and he will probably look like this:

    HappyCole.jpg

    For the October 9th San Diego, my middle one Logan who is 6 has not stopped listening to Brain of J since I can remember. No great picture for him but a cute story. The reason why he started liking this song is his best friend is named Jay and he thought it was about Jay's Brain. :lol:

    I hope you get to read this before the shows but if not I am sure they will love it as much as I do.

    P.S. Thanks for the early x-mas present of pre-orders of posters. I do not collect but got one for each boy for their walls so that they will never forget.

    Thanks,

    BD

    Teaching the kids to be goyish, are ya?
