    Gonna make my first trip to Hartford for this baby yea!!! Coming up from always ignored deep south to hit Hartford and Boston!!! Yeah!!!!

    If anyone is organizing a mass group of people for cheap room rates at a nearby hotel, count me in and send me a PM with some details... Need a place to sleep as I don't know anyone in Hartford.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    WOW, just realized that it was the Civic Center and not the Meadows. I guess my brain just assumed that since it's been there everytime that it would be there again. Been to all the Meadow's shows but that area is a dump.

    Been lucky to attend every show in New England since 1996.

    I am still debating my strategy, but leaning on coming for Hartford/Boston like 2008

    Have they ever played the Xl Center? I am surprised they are not playing Mohegan Sun instead. I am not complaining as I live closer to Hartford.


    Mohegan Sun Arena only holds 10,000 max. XL Center holds 16,500. The meddows (aka Dodge Center, aka Comcast Arena) holds 24,084.

    Although i am glad to see them in the XL, i think the sight lines are much better in an arena than in a amp.

    I'll be there. Would have preferred the Meadows, but whatever. I get to jam out with all you crazy CT people! See you all at the pre-party.

    I called the 10C and spoke to a woman (Kat?) about my idea for the Pearl Jam Whaler's shirt idea. She said she's not sure if they're doing a sports theme this time, but she said to e-mail the 10C about my idea and to see if they can pass it along to the company that makes shirts for the shows. I'm about to e-mail them now about that. Let's hope they get back to me. I explained to the woman that the Whalers were the only professional sports team CT ever had and it sounded like she liked my idea.
