    I thought CT was lush and green from the air, but New Jersey is not the armpit of America. Where I grew up there are beautiful towns/villages, and great bagels. Now, of course the real test would be which is better -

    a PJ NJ show or a PJ Connecticut show. Hmmm that's a hard one . . . .I guess I'll find out later this week. Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!!

    been to every Camden show, never had a problem getting in or out... I park on the street by a bar (2nd and Market - about a 5 minute walk from the venue) and never had a problem with locals or my car getting broken into...

    tailgating in Camden is awesome... arrived early, scored a ticket, and walked around for an hour or two on saturday waiting for my friends to arrive and talked to many folks from all over the place... every one shared beers (kudos to the visiters from NC and their Shiner Bock) with me... Sunday was equally excellent in the parking lots...

    as for a shit hole, i don't get the big deal... the collective butt sweat stank of 15k+ pearl jam fans leaving a show after jumping around for 3 hours is far worse than anything camden can dish out...

    Ok, we fucking know the city is a shithole, but for CHRIST'S SAKE, the concerts were fucking awesome. Oh, you got lost trying to leave Camden and ended up in hell on earth? Well, stop trying to be fucking Christopher Columbus and WAIT YOUR FUCKING TURN TO LEAVE! It's not our fault that if you're not from South Jersey or Philly that you don't know that you NEVER EVER EVER EVER go on the other side of the bridge. You stay to the RIGHT of the bridge.

    So if all you people are just going to bitch and bitch and bitch about Camden, STAY THE FUCK OUT! Jesus, I've seen countless threads on here and on the Porch about people saying what a shitty experience they had here and they just sit here and rip apart the city - WE KNOW THE CITY IS SHIT. Enjoy the music, rock your fucking ass out and go home - without going to the wrong side of the bridge.


    Fuck.

    And Camden 2 blew away Camden 1. Both shows were amazing, but that setlist from night 2 was friggen AWESOME.

    lol... come on... it's Camden - too ez to make fun of..... however, the mother of all preparties was there!!! (best party weekend ever for me).... just don't leave the venue grounds....

    Remember a red light in Camden means go..... serious....

    We went to the liquor store less than a block away to buy beer and there was a guy dealing crack with a gun in his belt out in front of the store. Didn't feel too safe at that point! The store had all the liquor behind a steel cage locked with a chain and the register was also behind bars...

    Funny that there were 250 cops around the venue and that drug dealer was selling crack a block away where anyone could see him!

    I FLOWgot... the guys pissing in the sinks and the people pissing in the bushes right outside the bathroom (inside the venue) really had class!!!

    Not sure if that was meant to be funny and I don't care who is pissing in the sink... it is disgusting! Just wondering if you were one of those people pissing in the sink or in the bushes outside the bathroom? The worst part is my friend (a woman) was waiting for me and a few of those "drunk ppl" walked up next to her and proceeded to piss in the bushes but it was ok since they apologized to her first! RIGHT? Sad that they had no consideration for the people around them! Use the fucking bathroom!!!

    concerts at camden are great!

    guys peeing in bushes is not great!

    whats up with the balloons? is that like a whippit? did i just show my age?

    the crowd in camden/philly is always excellent!

    use your brain and dont wander far from the path - its a direct route in and out of the city.
