    My girlfriend Naomi (Inside|The|Well on this forum) didn't know PJ when we first met 5 years ago. I let her listen to some stuff and she said they were ok. Obviously, she knew i was obsessed but i don't think i was too over the top in trying to convert her.

    The great thing is that eventually she developed her own love for the band and realised which albums/songs she loved more than others. She's a HUGE fan now and we've been to 10 shows together. I wouldn't want to go with anyone else; being there with her singing and dancing together is the best thing in the world. Plus, she actually has a lovely singing voice!

    At MSG 2 some family sat the entire show. The wife was fuckin' around on her iPhone and one of her sons was playing with his blackberry. That really pissed me off. I was up in the 400's behind the stage because i got fucked over many times with 10club sales etc. A 10C member shouldnt have to sit up in those sections. Some of the worst fans i've experienced


    Speaking of whole families at a show, My best mates Dad went to see Kiss, he is a big fan. He was 2nd row he said that in the first row a lady in her 40's brought her youngish children and her elderly mother, and she got her tits out for the boys.... Now that is what should happen when a family go to a concert....

    In what way is a woman demeaning herself for attention in front of her children a good thing?

    Oh, Leathermandi, re: the shoes I had to laugh.. I was an idiot who did not change from sandals into sneakers the other night and ended up having to remove them to jump around in the sticky beer mess barefoot!

    I was being a smart arse. Of course it is not a good idea. It is a pity with written text, you cannot always get a sarcastic tone...

    What a bitch. I hope their tickets were free.

    I hate people who talk during the whole shows. You think no one else can hear you, but you know what? We can. Because you're screaming at full volume into the ear of the person you're having a nice little chat with. And you're a row in front or behind or sitting next to us. You suck.

    Oh man, this thread has taken an interesting turn! Lol.
    First, let me say: a few of you HAVE met me, and might agree that I'm not being overly confident by saying, yes, I COULD pull off the heels and a mini, in fact, DO so on occasion. But NEVER at a Pj concert where I'm know I'm going to be jumping my butt off all night!

    As to the girls of tc calendar?! I LOVE this idea!!! I know of few of us that could definitely be considered. And yes, there's definitely a few of you guys that could do the male version!

    Lmao, great woods puker...let's hope this feature will not be coming to a stadium near you....see you all tomorrow night! I'll let you know what I'm wearing so you can judge me for yourself! Lol. ...just don't try to talk to me during the music! ;)


    I am down for the Male version of this calendar. You girls are making me excited about this calendar idea now. Sounds like I need to move to the east coast in a hurry. The women in Michigan are too pretentious and I could not possibly risk taking a girl to any show that did not want to be there.

    I've taken my wife to several shows. She always has a good time but she does prefer to sit. It never affects how much I enjoy the show and I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect any other fans. When I'm at the shows I tend to watch the band and not what the rest of the crowd is doing. Only sore point with my wife is that she will complain about the multiple encores. My point is if you're there to enjoy the show than do so and stop trying to police the other fans.

    I took my wife to Hartford 06 - she had an OK time. Wasn't blown away but didn't seem bored either. She's a casual fan - knows a lot of Ten, Vs and Vitalogy but not much after that. Her favorite songs are basically the songs I prefer not to see live - Daughter, Better Man, Wishlist, Last Kiss, Yellow Ledbetter. In fairness to her, Hartford 06 was the weakest PJ show I've seen - weather was awful too. But she was a good sport about it.

    After the will call fiasco in Hartford (went with a bud), I was not in a good mood on the drive down to Mansfield with my wife. Thankfully she is a big PJ fan too, but she did say that she'd only go with me if the tickets were decent. I told her that we'll probably be in the 2nd or 3rd section up...before the lawn...but JUST GO ANYWAY...IT'LL BE FUN...I SWEAR I'LL PERK UP ONCE WE GET THERE.

    Get to will call...holy shit...Section 2 Row A. Front and center. Needless to say our moods changed quite a bit after that. She still loves me.

    Couldn't agree more with the "don't take some who doesn't give a toss" comments. This is exactly how my husband and I operate: we have very similar tastes in music but have different passions.

    Sometimes these things can work out positively e.g. we both went to see Opeth when he wasn't too sure about them and I was obsessed - he loved it and became a bigger fan as a result. When he saw Carter USM (his favourite) last year, his friend got him tickets as a gift, asked me if I wanted one too, and I declined because they would have a better time together, as I don't really care for the band.

    My ex was a huge PJ fan but we never got to see them together, which was a shame. Although he did have a tendency to sing VERY loudly and VERY out of tune at concerts, so it's probably just as well :D (I never told him that though because it would have hurt his feelings!).

    We had a girl in front of us at Hartford who was sitting with her fingers in her ears. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt that she had some sort of medical issue, but the guy she was with kept standing and then sitting down every couple songs even though he wanted to stand and dance.

    Ultimately, they left 1/2 way through the show.

    the wife went with me to WPB; she rocked out pretty hard and was just as sweaty as the rest of us. Sure, she sat down for a bit, but she was actually more worried about the little 8 yr old kid in front of us that had passed out on dad's shoulder right around Even Flow from being tired and because it was so gastly hot & humid.
