Well I very rarely post here, buthave been in the fan club since 96.
Saw PJ in Columbia, SC - and I am really excited for my first show in my adopted home town of Charlotte
i have seen many shows in the NY/NJ/CT area and hoping that my GA lottery request gets filled.
Looking forward to seeing you guys there, and meeting some PJ peeps!
I was at the 08 Columbia show too....it was epic! Loved the "So who is the biggest cock....no no not the president" line. Still makes me laugh everytime I relive through the boot.
are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?
can't escape from the common rule if you hate something, don't you do it too
This is my first time attempting to see a whole leg of a tour. i'll be there, maybe road tripping with my dad who brought me to my first PJ show in '96 when I was 11. Thanks, Dad!
So excited they are playing here in Charlotte. The last time they played here was in 2003 at the outside amphitheatre. I work 5 minutes away from the arena and I can't wait to soak it all in. This will be my 10th show and here's hoping that the lottery will be good to me.
Saw Roger Waters at the arena last July and was in the 2nd to last row in the upper bowl. Sound was good, but couldn't see squat thanks to the speakers. Really hoping for better seats this time around.

Driving solo from ATL to meet friends in Charlotte, if anybody wants to car pool, pm me. Planning to leaving ATL around 10am or noon day of show and returning early the next morning. I have room for 2-3 people.
Lottery or no, I'll be there! Last PJ show I saw was 2004 Asheville. This has been a long time coming!
So to completely get ahead of ourselves- where should we pre-party? I live in Winston and my knowledge of Charlotte is not the greatest. I know an owner of Birdsong Brewery in NoDa where we could probably work something out with them, but is that too far from the arena to be feasible? Charlotte people - opinions?
I love Birdsong as its in my hood. Another suggestion is Triple C brewery. We can stumble onto the light rail from there that will drop us off at the arena.

I have seen the band 27 times in some of the greatest venues in the world, and I can confidently say that was one of the best shows I have ever seen. KOL as the opener was smoking and 5th row center with a friend who had never been to a rock concert? Priceless.
Really excited for the CLT show as well, taking another friend who is a HUGE PJ fan and he has never seen them. I was a little bummed about the GA at first, not for any other reason but that I will miss the thrill of finding out where the tickets are when I get to the arena - I mean assuming the GA tickets materialize!
I never got closer than 5th row even with a 122,XXX fan club number, but if we get GA - that should be awesome too. And I imagine that the GA section will be exciting!
I had a false belief that I came here to stay...

I am so freaking stoked right now!! I really needed this... haven't seen the guys since Columbia '08, and before that was Asheville '04... This is the best freaking news I've had in YEARS!! Just hope I can still hang with the GA section... it's been many, many.... many years since I've been in the pit... All you other GA people, remember to be easy on the older generations
Now we all have to play the waiting game..lol. But that's ok... bring it on PJ!! NC has waited 9 years for this :wave: We will be eagerly waiting!!
Charlotte: I'll see you soon!! WOO HOO!!!

I plan on hitting up Baltimore/Cville/Charlotte all on a drive down the coast back to FL. No confirms for any of those shows right now, so we'll see what will end up happening.
South Florida will be represented in both Bmore and Queen City. Won 2 of my 4 both reserved.Choice 1 and surprise choice #4.good luck to everyone waiting.
I'll be taking my Wife to See them in Charlotte for her first ever time. It'll be my first time since Charlotte '03 actually that I'll have seen PJ live myself(7th total show). It'll be fun seeing them again especially 10 years later after so much has changed in my life...sheesh it's been 10 years O.o

I went to Columbia 08 and it was won of the greatest shows/trip of my life

(Also cool to see the Columbia 08 memories. Such a great show, and I also had a first-timer with me so it was extra fun.)
