    ...got Long Road as an opener in the rain (check out Touring Band 2000). What an experience. I knew my life was never going to be the same. Turned out I was right.

    Had my mom buy tickets for a non-ticketmaster show for me and three of my friends. She let me borrow the van and we drove to Ohio from Michigan. We were seniors in high school. So long ago. All those yesterdays! :shock:

    Not only was it my first PJ concert, but it was also my first concert ever for any band. What a way to get started.

    ...bought an acoustic guitar the next day, and over 15 years later (since August 8th, 1998 in East Lansing, MI) I still don't know how to play shit!

    Thanks PJ for inspiring me to drop $250 on an insturment I had no clue how to play! :fp: :lol:

    I'm still wondering why the fuck I waited until after the 2000 tour to join the Ten Club though!!!

    Anyways...I'm 40 years old now, but I'm still going to learn how to play a PJ song one of these days!

    It was Indy 2000 and sat in a 2 hour traffic jam. got pissed and got out the my friends car and started vehicle hopping on the interstate. Missed first 7 songs , but if I hadn't of started walking who knows how much I would have missed.? I had to catch back up with friends I rode with but that's a different story. Great Times!!

    Wow...making up for lost time quickly I see! Nicely done. My first was 15 years ago and I'm just hitting shows 12-14 this 2nd leg!

    I was in some traffic during that show, but I lived close to the venue, so I didn't have it as bad as you.

    I remember running with my slow ass wife after I heard Interstellar Overdrive kick-up. I got in shortly after.

    Also, the 3rd show in Indy I went to (2003 was fine I think), in 2010, was that big storm, followed by a big delay, but still a big slow line...so I walked in during the 4th song, Why Go.

    Fucking Noblesvile! Worst venue for gettign in and out I've ever been to! I'm hoping I have better luck with PJ now that I live on the West coast!

    Bring on SD and LA!!!
