    ... That is purely fucking stoked, right? Why is it that this shit always happens?

    I'm grateful that pj20 is even happening and I feel as though I'm in the minority. I don't feel like I 'deserve' a chance to experience this and that it 'should' be in a place that holds a hundred thousand people, or it 'has to be' right next to an airport, and within drunk stumbling distance to a hotel.

    Carpool, split rooms, road trip, camp, find one of the thousands of fellow fans going and work it out.

    Life doesn't always work out the exact way we'd like. But fucking suck it up and be thankful that we have this opportunity. Think of all the people that don't even have the slightest shot in hell to go... There are plenty of people struggling to keep the heat on in their house, or paying for obscene hospital bills while caring for their sick kid, or the fans that don't reside in the continuous US and how difficult this whole thing becomes for them, or getting out of their war-stricken country isn't even an option.

    I'm sitting here listening to Ain't talking 'bout love while giving blood, and its just one fine example of how fucking fantastic of a band Pearl Jam is and how great of an experience their shows are.... I feel as though its a privilege to attend a show.

    Let's not lose sight as to what the hell is going on- sitting in a field, an arena, a hill, a stadium- those that want to be there and can be there, will. Its better than missing it because of your dillusional attitude towards the whole thing. Everyone needs to sit back, roll one and relax. I'm pretty sure that the band wants this to be an 'experience', and those with the right attitude will have just that.

    Long story short- life sucks, get over yourselves. Fuck!

    Yup!!! Location be damned...I'm there! My young sons (the next generation of PJ fans) have been hounding me for the past several months about when and where, so we'll travel to the show. Expecting the show to travel to us is unrealistic...but I ain't complaining IF Alpine lands the show.

    Can I say that I love the way you're talking?? I mean the way you express your opinions :)
    Some may ask, "Why act now? Why not wait? - The answer is clear. The world could wait no longer

    Did ya read the guidelines to the Alpine campsite????

    What a bunch of horseshit.......

    No campfires???
    No charcoal grilling????

    WTF IS THAT??????

    So basically you can set up a tent and bring some bologna sandwiches??????

    Nope, no tents, sleeping bags or perishable items permitted.

    But, they will be more than happy to sell you a bottle of warm tap water for $5.00.

    It's not camping if you can't even have a campfire. Those guidelines are waaay too stringent.
    Nice shirt.

    Yeah if its at Alpine it will be an event alright....
    An event where 3500 10club members have seats....And 7-10,000 10club members will be sitting on the lawn....hehehehehehehe

    Far too much emphasis is being put on this event.

    Sad to say, there will be many that will travel great distances
    and spend thousands of dollars for....a couple of Pearl Jam shows.

    I don't think Alpine is a lock for that very reason. Long time Ten Club members will riot if they have to sit on the lawn, which is inevitable at this venue with all of the hype surrounding it. EVERYONE wants to go, and everyone wants/thinks they deserve a seat. And that just can't happen there, no way.

    Grant Park. No seats at all. And a real free for all. Perfect.

    And I'll be camping at the Hyatt :mrgreen:

    :lol:

    Yep, I'd pay extra for that privilege. Because it is bound to happen.

    There are simply too many Ten Club members and not enough seats, certainly not a new problem
    by any means, but with this festival, it will be outrageously dramatic.

    Wherever it is, whenever it is and wherever I sit, stand, recline, I'll be happier than hell to be there.
