PJ fans in Surrey/London, UK?

Bit of a read but bear with me. Please
So a couple of years ago my entire world changed. A girl I had recently stopped going out with discovered she was expecting. Whilst there was talk of us reconciling we feared & ultimately agreed that we had not worked for good reasons & 'giving it a go' was the wrong move. So we stayed as single individuals & worked at the fact that we were about to become parents in a less than normal scenario. As you'd expect there were many ups & downs but we survived each in turn & are now I'm proud to say very close friends with the best thing in common - our daughter.Fast-forward 2 years & I'm planning our gorgeous little girl's 2nd birthday party. We've forged a great collaborative effort as parents & it's obvious the correct decision was made by & for all 3 of us collectively & singularly. We've both moved on as individuals with friends & romantic interests & remain very good friends.

So, where's the issue?
Well in life when things like this happen you have to adjust. I had to move back in with my folks to be able to free up some money & then once our girl arrived as you'd imagine I suddenly wasn't around much from my friends points of view. Whislt my best mate of 20 years is still talking copious amounts of rubbish with me my so-called other friends decided that a child & my being a parent ultimately ruined their chacne of socialising & effectively simply stopped inviting me to events & gatherings. I'd liketo say I'm not bitter but that would be a lie. I had a massive slump in self-confidence & in a lot of ways shut myself away until recently.

In the meantime I somehow (how the hell I managed it I'll never know!) met & fell in love with a great girl who I now have just moved in with. Unbelievably she had been through similar treatment from so-called friends so we were on the same elvel in terms of socialising.

So what the hell does this have to do with PJ?
Whilst I've always known of PJ I was very much of the "Ten" mould in that I'd had that album & knew & liked some other tracks later on. 1 night I saw Eddie Vedder on a TV show with Laird Hamilton, the surfer. He played him Big Wave as they travelled in a car, obvisouly the show was littered with other songs. I decided to check them out. I re-visited older albums & basically immersed myself into PJ & Vedder. I picked up Ukulele Songs shortly after & then discoverd PJ20 was nearing release.

In short I "fell" for PJ.

So other than a great bessie-mate & my wonderful girlfriend I've found that socially I'm a little short. I'm ready to be re-released "Into The Wild" socially. I figured the Pearl Jam family had already saved my life in so many ways that this was the best place to start & hopefully finish.

So if there are any PJ fans who want to get in touch & say hello I'd be grateful. I'd love to get chatting & hopefully make a whole new batch of friends in the process. I've seen that Pearl JAMMER are playing in London in September so am definitely checking them out, if I can share a beer with a fan I'd be made up!

Thanks for reading, take care.
