    Seeing everyone at the pre-parties and hanging out after the shows with everyone is just as much fun to me as the concerts itself.

    I can't wait to hang with you all again next tour!! :wave:

    Dude brother you really are a legend in the pit. Who knew? Apparently a bunch of cool jammers did...that's who! I hope you know you deserve every positive comment this thread has to offer. I can feel the love others have for you. I knew from the first day we started fucking around on facebook that there was special about you. I am most proud when others now include those nice comments when they refer to "us". You are a funny fucker and I am happy to call you a friend now. Friends don't tend to come and go in my world. So, I look forward to having a long go of adding happiness, joy and some rude comments to each other's lives. Trust I got yo back E...."I am right by your side!" :-)

    I haven't personally met a lot of fans and couldn't make it to the last pre-parties due to work, but even as an online community you can tell there's something special and that definitely goes beyond the music. That says a lot about PJ and all of you guys. Great post!

    Every tour i get to meet new friends, hang with old ones and have a fucking great time....times that i will always remember for the rest of my days. :mrgreen:


    So i just wanted to take the time and thank the guys for that...for bringing me together with some class A people from ALL OVER THE WORLD, that i would have never met otherwise if it wasn't for them!!

    THANKS DUDES!! :D:D:D


    ....but mostly this thread is for all the peeps i have met and have yet to meet....you guys make this "community" what it is and i feel truly blessed to be a part of it all.

    Hey E, my gift to you when I finally meet you on the next tour will be some killer Cali kush brotha. I'll bring that shit all the way from the west coast just to party with who seems to be the coolest mother fucker on this board. And if you're ever coming out to so-cal anytime soon, hit me up bro and I'll make sure you have a blast out here!!! All the kush and sun you want. Oh, and we do have some killer beaches here too. Fuck it, I offer that offer to any of you who come out to the west coast!!!! :mrgreen:
  • NP Erik! I have to say that I echo your sentiments exactly. I have the pleasure of meeting so many of you guys out in NY for the shows and it just reinforces why I love this band so much. The band, the 10c, The Wishlist Foundation, and this community of people... what a fuckin' powerful force and terrific influence it has had on my life.

    I was row 7, Stone's side for MSG I and saw Tim Bierman in the reserve section off to my right. I looked over to him periodically and it seemed like the majority of his attention was focused not on the band but more so on all of us fans rockin' our asses off. He had a fatherly look about him as he looked around the arena as if to say "damn, I'm proud of this fanbase and community". Tim...you should be proud of the community you helped build! These are the finest fucking people I will ever meet and I'm proud to be among these kind souls.

    Thank you to the band for continuing to bring it for 20 years.
    Thank you to the 10c for building this fanclub and providing the framework to build this community.
    Thank you to Laura, Erik, and the rest of my Wishlist volunteers for creating a platform for us to give back.
    Thank you to my fellow fans for being the greatest group of human beings in the world.

    Love, Ryan

    Well said. I met some great people from Wisconsin this last tour. As well as got my wife converted to be a fan partly due to the great experience had at the pre-parties.

    Dude, I would have when we first met. But since then I heard about all the other guys that have been there, tapped that...so, for my own safety, I opted to put my thoughts into a heartfelt post. hahaha! Just some brotherly love! Nothing more nothing less :)

    Americans are so great at showing and displaying their emotions... whilst i feel the same as you.. If i said "feel the love" in Scotland and it wasn't at a swingers party then i'd be cast out from society and made to cut other mens hair.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
