there is a part of me that wants to go out and buy a bush mask so that vedder can "impale" it on a microphone stand and retire bushleaguer in dc..
word over at the PJ message board is that someone arrived at 8:30 and posters were still available… they also give you a wristband so you get the poster after the show is over on your way out…
If this is not shitting all over someone's experience and laughing at them for what they like, I don't know what is. Alot of people think it's cool to get a pick or a drumstick or some other souvenier from a show from one of your favorite bands. It doesn't mean that you have to put it on an altar and worship it. I really like to go through an old box that I have that has a few of these items now and then.. brings back great memories for me.

"This is just laughable to me. Why would anyone want to hear either is beyond me. The latter being worse does not make it any better. Nothin personal Serpent Boy, I'm sure your a fine young man but some of those statememts intrigue me to say the least."
"Mediocre bands are the new hip."
well this setlist looks pretty good…esp. WHO YOU ARE!!

"Agreed, saying Kings of Leon were the best opener ever is laughable, TO ME."

"I never said you had to worship them, I was asking. Thanks for answering, they end up in an old shoebox. I've seen fingers broken and other tragedy's due to the overzealousness of some fans trying to get a pick or whatever before someone else. Seems silly TO ME. I could get out said shoebox and do the same reminiscing with ticket stubs w/out resorting to diving over and possibly injuring someone for a souvenir."

Originally posted by SPARX:Well now this, I COMPLETELY agree with.. As a matter of fact, I said to my g/f when Eddie was throwing the tambourines..

However, in my case the other night, the sticks were thrown directly in my direction, and I happened to catch one.. didn't dive or knock anyone out of the way, etc… but that's not what your initial quote was talking about.. (diving/pushing for sticks/picks, etc.) You said:

Which is busting on someone for having/collecting them… and you say "I was just asking" ..so why didn't you ask if he put them in a box or collected them? ..instead of asking snarky questions like "Are you still in your teens?" ..because the dude is glad he got a stick or a wristband… which imo is shitting on him for being excited about having a souvenier… there's a difference.
When you go to the RnR HoF in Cleveland.. there's memorabilia everywhere… so having a pick or a drumstick as a piece of history/memorabilia/souvenier = cool
…diving/pushing/fighting for such memorabilia = not cool.
Originally posted by samsfresh5:That's because I don't get the allure to this. Those "snarky" comments were possible explanations I could think of at the moment. Didn't think of the "putting them in a box" scenario. Seems like that would defeat the whole purpose. To each his own. I'm glad you got a stick and didn't fight over it. You are the exception to the rule. If people want memorabilia, just purchase it from the band, not participate in a scrum. The band would appreciate it as well. Wouldn't me asking him if he keeps them all in a box be "snarky" also?

Edit: Strike that question. I promised to try to refrain from going further down this road.
Any reviews of Camden night 2? Looks like a pretty decent setlist (NAIS is one of my favorites), though I'd prefer night 1. Cool to see a reverse Mamasan trilogy in the second encore.

Sparx,
I won't take offense to your questions even if you came across as a dick.
I didn't fight or push for either the wristband or drumstick. I was front row for the Pearl Jam show thanks to the Ten Club lottery, and it was about 30 rows closer than I'd ever been before (in 7 previous shows). Jeff threw the wristband right to me, and I found it to be very cool since they've been my favorite band since the early 90's. I'll probably store it with my 15 framed Pearl Jam posters and wear it to Pearl Jam shows as dorky as it may seem. It may have been cooler 10 years ago when I was 16, but it still means something to me.
I caught the Iron Maiden drumstick out of luck. I'm taller than many in the crowd, and he threw it right at me. Again, I'll probably just put it in a box and show it to my dad the next time I see him. He raised me on Iron Maiden (one of my all-time favorites as well), so it has a special meaning.
I can't blame you for disputing the Kings of Leon comment. Obviously the Buzzcocks, Sleater-Kinney, My Morning Jacket, and Death Cab for Cutie are more well established, and I'm a big fan of S-K and MMJ. I just found the Kings of Leon performance to be better than the others. They rock.

Anyone have any ideas if it'd be safe to take Metro (ie: wouldn't get stranded) or would it be better to drive? I really have no idea.
i'm taking metro, and i'm sure there will be a lot of others. you should be fine.
solid performance by the band. had to leave after the first encore, mildly bitter about that. Dissident, Daughter/War and W.M.A. were the highlights for me. ten club seats were only so-so - halfway back of the 200's, center. luckily the venue is relatively small so still had a great view and excellent sound. funny moment: eddy walks out on stage, double-fisting. says he wants to buy everyone a beer - but the problem is, there is a two-beer limit. proceeds to hand off the two beers he has in his hands to the front row, asks folks to take a sip and pass it on. my girlfriend said it was arguably the most adorable thing anyone has every done at a rock concert this side of snow patrol :(
eddie was making good on his promise from the night before when he found out beer was $12 a pop, blamed you know who for beer costing $100 a barrel… did mccready buy two non-alcoholic beers, he was suppose to split the cost.
and speaking of drunken males… sam and i witness testosterone gone wrong as two car full of "alpha" males decided to go give an earful to the driver of another car who got in front of them pulling out of the parking lot… you would have thought someone's girlfriend got oogled or something the way they were carrying on… the idiotic thing is had they not decided to show their plumage and strut around they would have all been five minutes closer to home :roll:

Originally posted by serpent boy:Why thank you, serpent boy. Likewise as far as your initial reply. Had you answered me initially with above response rather than with a knee jerk defensive reaction, we may have been able to save Sams panties from bunching.It's all good.I'm glad ya got souvenirs from your favorite band without having to maim someone. For the record, it's not the 1st time I've come across as a dick via the written word on a message board. Those on here that know me would probably tell ya I'm not really a dick. Well, most of em. However, my cup of sarcasm sometimes runneth over.
