Thought you all would appreciate this.  I was confirming with my boss that it was okay to be gone 3/25, 26 and 27.  I already have the week before off for a spring break trip and then time off for Nashville and STL.  I knew she'd be fine with it, but wanted to talk to her about in person. So I was telling her I didn't know a lot of details about the Apollo and found out it only has 1,500 seats.  We have a local old theater that holds 1,400 so I told her that for reference. She kind of scoffed and said well, it's Pearl Jam.  Kinda like they'd have problems filling the Apollo.  I didn't take it personally and she has no way of knowing, but I found it pretty amusing!  Good luck today!

People who don't know have no idea. 

We went to the Rock Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Brooklyn in 2017. The place where the pre-party was being held was insanely crowded, so a group of friends decided to go somewhere else. It was a small bar and there were other people there who were attending the ceremony, but to see different bands. We started talking to these guys that were there for E.L.O. - nice guys, we had a great chat, then it was getting close to show time and we were getting ready to leave and those guys were just sitting there. We mentioned casually to them, maybe you should get ready to go to Barclay's now... they replied "No need to go yet, E.L.O. will be closing the show"  My friends and I all looked at each other in disbelief.

BTW - E.L.O. opened the show

My best friend basically stopped listening to new music sometime in the early 2000s. When I asked him (day of) if he wanted me to score him tickets in the Denver Verified Presale, his response was “Not really sure. Give me a couple of weeks to figure it out. Pearl Jam don’t sell out that fast, right?”

A friend I met through another band messaged me just before the 10club / verified fan presales. He wanted to know if I could pick up an extra 2 or 4 tix for the Baltimore show for him because he and his wife had never seen them and it was a Sat night show. I tried my hardest not to be rude

After the tour was announced a neighbor texted me saying that he'd "consider trying to go to" the MSG show. My response started with "I don't want to be rude but..."

hey who suggested using the amazon echo to listen to sirius live?   I bought one to see if there is only a 3 second delay but I still have the same two minute delay that i get on my iphone app.  what am i doing wrong?

My echo dot has the 2 1/2 minute lag

@MR242791 not sure. Mine is right on point. About 3 seconds off.   I linked my SiriusXM account to it in the app. Now I just say. “Alexa, play Pearl Jam radio channel 22”  and she replies with “Pearl Jam radio  from Tricia’s SiriusXM” 

mine as well.  it must be successfully linked to your XM account

I just unlinked and relinked it. Still has the lag.

Though I did link through my streaming account credentials, maybe if I try to link through my SiriusXM account login it would be closer to live? Going to try that now.
ETA: Didn't help

I wouldn't think Alexa somehow has access to a faster broadcast than every other streaming device on the market

Anyone else just catch that the promo just said “you’re chance to win through Sunday?”. Old promo? Or are we going to have a shot the next few days as well
