The downside to that is that when someone like you comes on here to post a real story (I am one of the few who believes your story) you get shit on by everyone on here.
I seriously hope that no one called your professor to confirm your story.
If you have more info from Jeff's appearance, I'd love to hear it.
I'm agreeing with this, wholeheartedly.0 -

I got pretty paranoid yesterday after I learned people were calling my professor and e-mailing him. I guess it's a natural reaction, and I see why my post may have come across as a hoax, but do people really go to those lengths to post erroneous information in that much detail? I couldn't make shit like that up even if I tried.
Anyway, there have been a few requests for more information from Jeff's presentation, and there's definitely more that could be said. You are probably going to execute me after I say this, but I'm going to hold off until I'm sure that my first innocent post didn't piss anyone off from the University of Montana camp. I'll deal with it either way. Jeff's speech was at a public university and I feel that I handled it appropriately.

People round here can be bitchy, but hang around long enough, and you will see why they are so skeptical.
I honestly dunno whether to believe it or not. People have put some serious work into hoaxes on here before.
OK, even if the Bonaroo thing was just an added lie, we know Jeff spoke, so there was still lotsa cool info. If its true, itsa a pretty sweet heads up for all the people that need to save money. And when the lineup is announced and tickets go on sale, people are gonna go see PJ at 'roo or be sittin on a nice chunk of change.
Would also like to point out that your post showed up about a half hour another board member posted about his friend bein in the class or somethin so.0 -

Oh wait! Now I have
Cool story EB, not farfetched in my opinion. I'll go on the record and say I believe this. Did Jeff talk briefly about his artwork contributions (like which album/single covers he did before calling it quits), did he say more about it than what you posted? I think he was still doing it up to Yield but I'm not sure.0 -

Type properly and then I'll take you seriously.
As far as getting a job and a girlfriend? ...I am married and make 230k a year working as a Gemstar programmer. Making a 2-minute phone call doesn't detract from that.0 -

damn, 16 pages in a day and a half. is that a record? I'm sure the story is true and all, but does Univ of Montana actually have an 'Entertainment Mgmt' class? I thought you all were treehugging granolas and had no interest in entertainment."Smokey, this is not Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.
