Nancy, I will buy you your 1st 500 beers.

I haven't had a cold delicious beer in over 19 years, but you can buy me water and a pretzel. And cheese sauce if they have it.

I will humbly accept Nancy's 500 beers. Thank you.

Pearl Jam is playing the Garden two nights and Philly two nights and Fenway two nights and Wrigley 2 nights - that is freaking awesome! I joined this fanclub for the messageboard, believe it or not - to connect with other fans who shared a love for a band that I had followed as a regular person for over two decades. I only found out that they had presales and bootleg downloads and analog shirts that I never got cause my code expired AFTER I had joined. It is intimidating to come onto a fan site that has been in existence for quite some time and post and try to find a place. I have had the shittiest 3 years of my life and I joined to have a place to escape and make friends perhaps. I was happiest when someone directed me to the Hannah cause - that was a great way to start here, but after two years, I still feel like an outsider.

Twice I had tickets to see Pearl Jam and twice I was sabotaged by my ex when he caught wind that I was going to go have fun and made sure that it didn't happen. It sucked, but that's my challenge to deal with and learn from so it doesn't happen this time. I am making sure that I am not going to be sabotaged this time with help from my shrink who specailizes in PTSD and domestic violence and parental alienation. It is going to be hard as hell to get out and get to the concert but I'll be damned if I don't do it.

This is exciting, I don't care where my seats are - I'm going to see a band that I have wanted to see for a long time. I can't talk about the awesome show in 98 or the time they played the longest and I was in the second row and got the setlist and I don't care. I don't understand why having seen them a certain amount of times at a certain point in their career in the most awesome seats or best venue makes a difference. Be happy that you experienced that. What awesome memories.

It is the Spring/Summer Tour of 2016 - they are playing some awesome venues and I am lucky to live in the Northeast and be able to go to these places. This is an exciting time. But it is a concert. And in the scheme of things, there are people who are going through a lot worse shit than being shut out of a show or not getting to sit as close as they used to.

And in some people's comments, there is the implication that anyone who is new or doesn't belong to the fanclub (which accounts for more of their fanbase than the fan club - most people DO NOT join fan clubs - I know at least 30 people, if not more, who tried for tickets the old fashioned way, public sale. Some got tickets, some will go to stub hub, some won't go.) But the 'casual fan' references are a real turn off. Makes people not want to post because it seems that if you haven't been here since at least No Code, you are not worth their time. You are not a super fan. You don't know what they know. It makes people feel unwanted. Even in threads, some people post and are never acknowledged, while other people have conversations amongst each other like the rest of us don't exist. It's not cool and it's not what I expected when I joined 10club.

A fan is a fan and every fan wants to see their favorite bands in concert. Period. Be happy that there are opportunities to see them and they are together and we can all see them and if someone doesn't know the B side of the 99 Christmas single, it doesn't make them any less of a fan than anyone else.

I can't wait to see them - my first time will be in Virginia and I'll be behind the stage alone and nervous because of all that I've read about how people are at concerts. But once the music starts, I won't care. And if anyone chooses to not like me because of my honesty about my life situations or my opinions - that's none of my business. I joined so I could be me after years of being beaten down. I am working through some heavy shit and having this wonderful band touring is a bright spot and a challenge that I am ready to tackle. I didn't think I would come onto the board and feel bad. It doesn't make any sense.

I hope to see you Speedy at MSG before you get to the 2000th beer!
This is a happy time, I say, a happy time!!
