WOw. Just wow. I am totally appauled at most of the responses in this thread. If anyone took the time to search the archives, I'd be willing to bet that many of you were venting your frustrations before your tour dates were announced. I am in the same boat as the OP. I am a mom with 3 kids and a hubby. I cant take off for a day or 3 to travel around & see PJ. It just isnt a possibility for me. It does blow that we have had no mention whatsoever about the south from the band. So many of you guys are so quick to jump on anyone who is frustrated. And Culot4...that is possibly the worst reply ever. Are u suggesting that noone get married and have kids so they can follow PJ around? Please....grow up.
I come to this board everyday hoping for news, and everyday there is none. But everyday I play nice with you guys, but the minute someone gets frustrated (and show me a southerner who hasnt!) everyone wants to jump on him! I have to say I lost alot of respect for some of the members here after reading this thread.
Now..I am off to get a divorce, put my children up for adotion, and anything else I can do that will allow me to travel aound to see Pearl Jam since I was not aware doing those things jeopardized my ability to see a damn good concert. Off to the courthouse!0 -
Bumping to release frustrations with jackasses who slam anyone who posts about no southern dates. Biting my tongue for this bump.0

No I'm suggesting that the thread starter lived 8 hours from the DC show and still complained. Even though 8 hours isn't around the corner it isn't the moon either. If someone from Miami would have written this rant It would be more. understandable but don't act like PJ is supposed to revolve around your family. I don't know where you got the idea I ever meant to say nobody should get married and have kids but from the general vibe of the rest of your post you appear to be pumping in the drama.Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.0 -

good point

Just a reminder that the purpose of this thread is to show how much The South loves PJ and and how much they want to be able to see them somewhere near them. It wasn't started so that people would argue with each other and bash people based on their geographical location be it The North, The South, Europe, (or even Mars). Keep it possitive and keep the posts "of support" coming. There are other threads around here where you can piss on each other and mark your territory. In the meantime, I hope everyone who has gotten to see a show this tour has enjoyed it. Especially the Europeans who have waited since 2000 for a show anywhere near them. We are all fans of this amazing band.Brian0

I am married and have kids and my wife and I were very lucky to be able to go to Philly to catch the two shows there.
I did that without knowing the rest of the tourdates yet and I think that is the main point of frustration for a lot of people. We sat around thinking that there would be southern dates on a future leg, so most people didn't bother with 10c tickets for northern shows. Becuase they chose to release the dates a piece at a time and leave out over half the country is the main reason people are upset.
Like I said, I am lucky I got to go but a lot weren't as fortunate. I can understand the frustration.DAL-7/5/98,10/17/00,6/9/03,11/15/13

OK, my 2 replies to 2 diff threads have been merged, lol. So...
Noone said PJ is supposed to revolve around any 1 person. But you better believe that ATL sells out or comes Damn near it every time they play here. I dont know about the OPs situation, but i can tell you that for me, 8 hours 1 way would be out of the question. And I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only one. Just because u have the freedom & liberty to travel doesnt mean everyone else does. And no, I was not "pumping in the drama", your reply truely struck a cord with me. I have seen PJ every time they have played Atlanta, which they have done on EVERY OTHER TOUR. If it was your area that had been skipped, I'd be willing to bet you'd be a little frustrated too.0 -
