    1. My 8-yr-old claims to be tired if hearing PJ in the car, but then she belts out "I seem to recognize your face" in the shower.
    2. I finally got tickets to Montana - thank you calibigwave!
    3. There's not much a little PJ can't improve.

    Great thread! Of course, started by a Minnestoan ;):lol:

    1. Hearing a PJ song (radio, tv, movie, bar, club, store, elevator, sporting event, etc) and always stoping, and feeling my ears perk up (usually accompanied by a friend's / co-worker's / stranger's eyeroll).

    2. Dusting off the flannel that I have had since I was 15 and have worn to all my PJ shows. (That reminds me, I have to locate it before Montana!)

    3. Anytime I hear Black - best song EVER!

    Last year, flying up to Vancouver, meeting some of the nicest damn people I've ever met outside the Pacific Coliseum during Pearl Jam's soundcheck. I don't get to see the changing seasons since I moved to Arizona, and being in Vancouver in late September, outside of my element, getting ready to see my favorite band... just a damn good memory.

    ...and then they opened with Small Town... it was like, "Good to see you again, man."

    1. I first arrived in Australia on the morning of November 19th, 2006. That afternoon I got the train from Sydney to Newcastle to see PJ play an unbelievable set. Six days later in Sydney I met a really cool group of people through a mutual friend and we started talking about music. One of the girls in particular was a big PJ fan and had been to 2 of the Sydney shows the previous week.
    Now it's almost 6 years later, we've been together for 5 and a half of those years and married for the last 2 of them!

    Here are 3 PJ-related things that are fucking great.

    1. A brand-new set of headphones, Audio Technica ATH-M30. Great deal online for less than $38, no shipping.
    2. Taking a break from bootlegs for a while.
    3. Listening to Pearl Jam album (any album, but I had to start with Binaural) with my new headphones.

    Whoa, what is that...is that the drumbeat of W.M.A.? Oh yeah!
    Posimists. Fuck the pessimists...fuck'em.

    1. This thread is great!!! And really needed and much appreciated.
    2. PJ will release a new record next year. THAT´S AWESOME.
    3. I´ve seen my first PJ show this year and my first EV solo this year. I´m still happy every day because of that, that was a memory for life. Since I became a PJ fan two years ago, my life has improved and I am little bit happier each day that than I normally would be. :D
    5. PJ helped me cope with my mother´s death. I would have lost my mind otherwise, if it wasn´t for the music. :cry:
    6. The Stockholm bootleg is on its way ... :D
    5. I´m so proud of being a fan of this great band. And being on this forum is great, there are so many nice, funny and creative people here. 8-)
    6. Eddie is so damn hot.
    7. I can´t wait for the next time that I will see them, what an experience that will be. AWESOME. JUST AWESOME.

    My JA 'While My Heart Beats' shirt makes me feel like a superhero...or maybe it's 'wearing the shirt makes me feel like I look like a superhero'
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Here's a couple:

    1. Its Friday, and...
    2. I LOVE the sound of Ed's voice on that Jimmy Fallon "Balls In Your Mouth" song, especially where Ed hits the higher notes on "don't swim in the OOOOCCCEAAANNN..."

    Awesome!
