Ok this just made me laugh hysterically for about 3 minutes straight

some of my favs

-You have reservations in Cleveland at a hotel to stay the weekend of the rock and roll hall of fame induction of Pearl Jam in 2016.
(sounds like an idea )

-You honestly consider trading until you get every live show ever recorded.
(im sure most everyone who trades thinks about it)

-You made a whole tape with nothing but live Porch's on it.
(i should try that)

-Print this list so you can check off the things that you have done or relate to. Then hang it on the fride with a magnet, cause you are so proud of your dedication to the band.
(when i have access to a printer, im gonna do this )

-You can tell what song PJ is going to play at concerts just by the guitar a band member uses.
(this accually kinda sucks because it makes it less of a suprise, so i try not to pay attention )

-Your e-mail address contains a band reference.
(jlvsprljam@hotmail )

-You have a t-shirt that says "CREED IS pearl jam" on the front side and "FOR GIRLS" on the back side.
(i need to make one of these)

ok thats it for now, i always enjoy looking through the list

I stole a Yield sign.

i want to, i even saw one last weekend that only had one bolt still holding it on, and as we drove past it my fiancee said"ill bet you are wanting to take that arent you"

I also have a Yield sign in my trunk. It would be in my dorm room but there are certain policies against it.

I have helped steal two Yield signs for my friends who are bigger Jam Heads than me, and on the third, for me, the cops showed up, and we almost got caught with two Yield signs in the trunk. Anyway, we got away with it because the cop didn't open the trunk, they thought we were throwing fire works out of our car and that is why we were pulled over. Anyway, I still need to get a Yield sign of my own.

Now there's an idea!







That would be awesome if all three were played.


There is one near my house that is in excellent shape.

This is by far the best post I have read from this or any other pj related site.

The highest props and praise to the author.

its accually done by the pearl jam vault website, its definatly a site to check out

does anybody else think back alley abortions everytime they hang their clothes on a hangar because of eddie vedder's snl antics? or is that just me?

i think (and am thankful) only one of those apply to me

which one though?

people know i like pearl jam, thats about it

Ahhh

im goin to go get yeild sign as soon as i can drive as a quick getaway

Come on, Peeps... Show us your pearl jam tat. Please.

We need to insert one more there:

- You spent your whole fan life trying to play Daughter in regular tune acoustic guitar when you finally figured out that is only GCGCGC EmD/F#GA GCGCGC.... .. but its still not good enough...

The last one definately, "he decides to drea, dream up a new self, for himself"
