"It's as comfortable as can be. But when you're on stage playing with Neil, well -- it's one thing to be at the zoo and watch an animal pace around its cage. It's another to be in the cage with him." -Eddie Vedder
The four shows combine to make one huge poster scene of a movie theatre filled with a ton of characters, all by Tom Tomorrow! It rules, I love it. Got night one (was there at show), have a friend getting me night 2 &3, and will hopefully be going Sat to complete it. Love it! :P

For those of you wanting more information about the Philly posters and the thought process behind them, Tom Tomorrow explained all on his website thismodernworld.com:
About those posters
In response to a number of questions, yes I did a series of four posters for the Philly shows this week which will form one large scene when placed next to each other (though with gaps left in the images between each poster so they don’t have to be jammed right up against each other to look right, if that makes sense).
Since these were for a series of shows the week of Halloween, my idea was to have a giant retro pop-culture costume-party theme — superheroes, robots, space people, monsters, etc., along with a number of band-related/requested “cameos” in the background, all (at least in my mind’s eye) comprising the audience to the last shows at the Spectrum.
The trick was to design four posters which would each stand alone, would work as a larger image when the full set was displayed together, and would work when displayed in sets of two or three. I knew that some people would be attending all four shows and I wanted to create something special for them, but I didn’t want anyone who could only attend one or two shows feeling that they “had” to get the entire set.

I would really like to see the hats specifically. But a pic of everything would also be good. Thanks so much. Later

-vinyl sawblade- dark gray- a 33 1/3 record cut like a sawblade. had tour dates on back
-new trucker hat with the pj cursive handwriting. said tour 09 on back
-girl's moose tree shirt- cream- brown moose (maybe deer or elk) with antlers forming a tree. inside leaves read pearl jam
-kid's i saw pearl jam shirt- black- just like the stickers. unfortunately only in youth sizes

Does anyone know approximately what time you can start buying posters at?
I just don't want to arrive late when they're already sold out. Thanks.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Don't worry buddy there are plenty to go around. They not only have them at the kiosks that everyone runs too but they also have the little one man counters where that solo salesman would be selling programs for a sporting event. Get the protective tube for the extra $2.

I do like this one but a retro Phillies shirt would have been cool too.
Sixers or Flyers too.
I want to make sure I get there early enough, so I don't miss out.
No one? We are well into the show, anyone??
