    I just noticed today (while listening to the boot with headphones). During RVM, about 8 seconds into the intro, some drunk guy yells "Socialble!!"

    Who was that?
    I wish it were me/

    hilarious! i hadn't noticed that...i'll look for it now though...thanks :)

    Truthmonger, everything you have suggested has been noted, and i agree with most of the tactics, although i don't know if i could bring myself to take advantage of sick kids (i have friends with Crohn's--it wouldn't be well accepted).

    my only problem is that i don't live in Halifax. i live in Fredericton, which seems to be too far for the home base for any sort of Bring PJ to Halifax operative. I would try to encourage the band to come here, but who am i kidding...who wants to come to the most conservative town in the province outside the bible belt.

    maybe we should start an official PJ HAS TO COME BACK thread to begin with and go from there.

    will anyone support this? i have a habit of creating threads and having them die. i am, by far, the world's greatest thread killer.

    Lanners, those suggestions were meant for a little levity - nothing more. Although the one about starting a new thread might have some merit. Who knows what the band palns on doing - but I know they'd get another good crowd in Hfx., thats for sure. Maybe even two, if they were so inclined. hehehe

    My uncle lives in Fred'ton, Marysville actually. When we were kids we'd go up the Nashwaak river to his cottage and mess around on his motorbikes. I always remembered the large friggin' lampreys in the river, they freaked me out !! We'd go salmon fishin' too. Big bastards in that river - or there used to be anyways.

    No, i saw the levity in them. it was late and i was tired and not thinking clearly.

    As for the Nashwaak...we swim in it at the Penniac Bridge (near Marysville) and i have yet to see an eel. I've swam with small salmon, but haven't come across any of the big'uns yet. Don't know if i'd want to come face to face with a big one! ;)

    Ya, and I hear Ashton Kutcher almost quoted Pearl Jam. LOL.

    Hey Lanners, we used to go to Durham Bridge, just up the road. I'm tellin' ya, those lampreys were somethin' ! And ugly ! Don't let those MF'ers get a hold of ya - the ones I saw were about 3 feet long.

    BWAA HA HA HA HA

    I heard from the son of the barber who cuts my dad's brother's grandson's girlfriend's father's hair that they were going to hit Midgic and Sackville while they were at it. Rumour has it they are flying into the Midgic Airport.

    I just hope they have enough security to hold back the 23 residents of Midgic who will meet them at the airport when they arrive.

    By the sounds of it they might hit Zealand as well.

    I heard that they were going to call this leg of the tour the Where the Fuck Are We? Country Bumpkin Tour.

    Man, i might never go swimming again!!! Can't swim at Mactaquac because of swimmer's itch, can't swim at the Delta because they think we're too ghetto, now i'm scared of Penniac. You really know how to bust a bubble don'tcha! ;)

    Okay, i wanted to get some input. I've drafted something to post as the ***PLEASE COME BACK TO ATLANTIC CANADA*** thread. What do you think? What else should be added? Omitted?

    To the band members of Pearl Jam and the powers that be within the Pearl Jam HQ Infrastructure:

    We the people of the forgotten part of Canada (anywhere East of Québec City) are eternally grateful that you didn't pass us by during the recent Canadian Tour. In fact most of us who were privvy to the incredible performances are still in shock. It is rare that we have the opportunity to take part in large arena concerts by our favourite band(s) because no one seems to know we exist.

    Well, we do, and as you may (or may not) recall, we rocked and we did it HARD!

    It may seem ungrateful on our parts to be making this request, but if y'all could find it in your hearts to grace us with your presence again we would be eternally grateful+infinity, which you have to agree is a lot.

    The benefits of returning to the Atlantic Provinces:

    1) Keith's-We have it on record that Ed enjoyed his first taste of Keith's (photos are available, and check his dialogue before Down on the Halifax Bootleg). There is a lot of Keith's available in these parts.

    2) Surfing-you can go surfing outside Halifax

    3) Friendliness-we are renown for being some of the friendliest people in North America

    4) Keith's-There is an entire brewery of Keith's at your disposal in Halifax

    5) Tons of other fans who weren't able to get tickets have the right to share in the incredible PJ experience, right?

    6) You didn't play Black, Light Years, Man of the Hour, Harvest Moon, etc...the first time through. We'd like to hear them, please.

    7) We're cute and we can try to work out a deal with Keith's to provide a truckload of beer before/during/after the show.

    8) You seemed to like it here. We were but stones but your light made us stars!

    There are no reasons why you shouldn't come back. Some things are better the second time around and we, the underposted, swear that we will sing louder, cheer louder, and pass the beer to the front faster.

    So please, PLEASE won't you think of the poor neglected folk east of Québec City. There's New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland, all ready and waiting for you to come back.

    Lanners, I can see you put some thought into this ! Way to go. Can i offer a couple suggestions ? I would change the thread title so it explicitly mentions Halifax. Also, I might remove some of the language re: the poor neglected people of the east coast - no need to sound too desperate. lol.

    Anyways, fuckin' give 'er. I might add something about Halifax being considered one of the finer shows on '05, and that it will likely attract a large number of "away" people back to Halifax for any '06 show.

    points taken...however, i didn't want to make it solely about halifax. now that i come to think of it, i suppose i should narrow it down a bit. the poor neglected part was important at the time because it's true. great international entertainment is hard to find east of Quebec.

    a lot of this was tongue-in-cheek late night crazy talk.

    does anyone else have any input?

    I do remember Ed saying that if their lives and our lives don't get too busy maybe we could all get together and do this again sometime (or something like that). We just gotta hold Mr. Vedder to his word.

    A return to these parts should be held in the same priority as a new album. Perhaps even higher.

    by me at least..... :)

    Okay, i've done a little more work on it. Changes are in bold typeface.

    Any further changes are welcome. Please feel free to add or delete what you think needs to be changed.

    So please, PLEASE won't you think of the good times had by all in Halifax and come back for some more!

    excellent!! i've got vacation saved for another trip to the maritimes!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
