    You buy Betterman on iTunes for sixty-nine cents even though you already own it.

    1) 2 tour snubs and 11 years later you're still a fan. (3 snubs if you count the EV solo tour snub).
    2) You visualise scenarios where you run into the band when they did actually tour.
    3) Jump in to rescue Ed when you can't actually swim.
    4) Have a restraining order against you by the band...

    Your high school students ask permission to use your computer and then don't know what to do because Pearl Jam Radio is on and are scared to death to ask to minimize the window, let alone 'X' out of it.

    haha these are so great! i have no idea how many "encore breaks" i have on my iPod! and i've DEFINITELY considered stealing a YIELD sign, and i get sick of answering, "how can you see the same show so many times?" and of COURSE i'm friends with D on facebook :P pretty much guilty of 99% of these...

    you know you're a pearl jam FREAK when

    ...people at work say, "how many of those tattoos are pearl jam related?"
    ...you tell people you are going to vacation in Australia, and LITERALLY the first thing 9/10 people ask is, "why, is pearl jam playing there?" (and then you try to explain the difference between seeing eddie solo and pearl jam live...)
    ...every time you drive by the sign for Pearl street you do a double take
    ...for that matter, every time anyone uses the word pearl in any context you think it is pj related
    ...people you haven't heard from in months/years text/facebook you, "heard pearl jam on the radio today, thought i'd say hi"
    ...you talk about the band/band members like they are your personal friends
    ...every other status update is a pearl jam lyric


    lol we could go on forever!
    keep on rockin' in the free world.

    The street bordering the complex I work in is "Pearl" street. I see the sign 5 days a week, and still get giddy every time...how sad is that?!

    (I've been thinking about printing up some white letters spelling "JAM" on a green background.) ;)

    When your best friend is getting married the same day the band plays near you and when you're at the party, some kind soul texts you something like this: "Opener: Sometimes"
    And you think: "oooh, shit, this is going to be a great setlist and I'm here..."

    True story just happened on 2/4/11!! And the kid was genuinely concerned, but I showed him how to open another tab on my mac! Just so PJ Radio would be uninterrupted. And I explained how smart of a decision he made! :mrgreen:

    You delete photos from your best friend's baby shower and family wedding to make room for more concert pictures on your digital camera. Without thinking twice about it.
