    Everyone is so fucking hush about things - a lot of "dont repeat this" etc etc etc


    Here is wat I know to summarise
    1) Pearl Jam always intended to play here
    2) They booked the vector arena around November 1/2/3 (no i am not saying three shows, I am just not sure of the exact date)
    3) There were completion issues with the arena, due to both construction delays and commercial disputes
    4) this meant that Pearl Jam could not announce the tour at the same time as the Australian dates
    5) It now appears these delays MAY be getting resolved (and I do work in the construction industry, I cant go into too many details in a public forum about commercial matters, but I have two sources involved in the vector arena), and a late august early Sept completion date is realistic - if we keep our power on
    6) Becase the arena is ready, I have learned (and I trust this source) that PJ have confirmed hotel arrangements for Auckland in the last month or so


    Thats the solid stuff I know. There are whispers going around that publicity etc is getting ready to move to promote the concert, but I have nothing concrete on that

    All I am trying to do is pass on all I know as quickly as I can, if people dont want to believe me then thats fine, but I want to share this with other people who share my passion for this band


    Cheers

    Hey people. Got back from my gig at work party. Wasn't the best. I screwed up a couple time but nothing serious. Had to drop a couple of songs. Casue you know what drunken work mates are like. I was kinda getting a bit pissed off with thier fucking comment. Ya just gotta give some shit back. But I'm the one up on the stage so they could cut me a little slack. Anyway some people liked it. Said it was great. I think my voice was spot on. My guitar playing could have been better.

    On another topic. If we are indeed getting a show (or two). We gotta have some sorta meet for the Ten Clubbers here. I'd love to meet up with all of you and talk about Pearl Jam and just discuss life in general.
