My summer on tour with Pearl Jam

I know Zack is the official tour blogger, but I saw quite a few shows myself this tour, and made many memories seeing my favorite band with some awesome people, so I just decided to do my own little write-up.

Who else would I share it with but you all, my fellow fans! :)

    hey, You were the person that called Sirius with that story, and they played it during Pearl Jam B-Sides Themselves week.

    He was super hot! He had blonde hair, and blue eyes, and black plastic framed glasses. He wore gollashes and work pants and no shirt, and he was very zen-like.

    He was also looking forward to seeing pearl jam :)

    In reading your blog I noticed that you are a TBC fan as well!! I love seeing that...other PJ fans who dig the Crowes just as much as I do. I'm headed to 6 TBC shows this year myself including the 5 night run at the Fillmore.

    Peace on you!!!
