Fuck all the Made In America hate. Pearl Jam at what I would imagine is going to be a sweet outdoor venue in front of the Art Museum steps on Labor Day weekend in Philly, FUCK AND YES. Jay Z Saturday night, boom...Pearl Jam Sunday night, boom.....Bruce Monday night....Boom.

Rooftop, festival, out and about in the city, rooftop, perhaps Bishops Collar or some other awesome bar in the city, festival, out and about in the city, tailgate all day, citizens bank park, sleep and recover all day Tuesday....Oh.Fuck.Yes!

I could give two shits about what the crowd is like, I'm going to have a fucking great time. And either way, the crowd won't be that bad when the Rick Ross crew is the most hardcore hip hop act there.

Well, hello. Aaaaand where have you been? Getting all engaged and what-have-you?

Yeah, I am definitely not as excited as you. I'm sure it will be cool, but my expectations for this thing are pretty low.

Bishops Collar is awesome.

But what are the expectations? Hanging out on the parkway drinking beer and listening to Pearl Jam? Sounds pretty sweet to me

Hello, good sir. Just got back from vacation and yes, getting engaged before that. Been a fucking crazy month or so.

[Jearlpam0925]

Delightful. I might be in your part of town tonight. I'll hit ya up if that's the case.

Let me know. Just about to order food and all that. I should be around.

I guess my problem is that I'm comparing it to a PJ concert, which it's not.

[Johnny Abruzzo]

Congrats Cliffy!

I agree with Fixer on the low expectations for Made in America. Can only be pleasantly surprised, right?

[Ledbetterman10]

I'm actually okay with that. I had figured this to be a non-PJ year for me anyway and I was sorta okay with that. I overdosed on them during the Spectrum run, saw great shows in Virginia and MSG 2 in 2010, and really enjoyed PJ20. But with no tour this year, it seemed that it would be a summer without PJ for me. But no big deal; Metallica's Orion Festival, Roger Waters, The Beach Boys, and Iron Maiden were my 2012 concert itinerary. Perfect for a PJ-less summer.

But then they announced this festival. If it was anywhere else in the world, I wouldn't have bothered. But right outside the Art Museum on Labor Day weekend? How could I possibly pass that up? It should be a great time.

But I can't stand Drake. I've never heard any of his songs (though I'd imagine they blow). But he made this statement that makes me want to rip my hair out of my head: http://youtu.be/AiFQ408daYc?t=11s). Fucking little poser douche. Respect your elders.

[PureandEasy]

Haven't been here in a while so I don't know hat,s up with the nastiness, I personally can't wait for Made in America weekend. Philly and PJ, holiday weekend, nothing better.

I had a similar run in 2009/2010. HIt cleveland and Newark instead of your virginia show, so I know what you mean regarding overdosing. There should be a rule that they have to play MSG every two years. Nothing compares to that place.

Your 2nd paragraph is spot on. Even though it's my favorite band on the Art Museum steps I'm actually more excited to see MMJ for the first time in a couple of weeks. Hopefully my apprehension about the festival setting will turn out to be unjustified.

Mayberry makes an out on the bases in every game

[imalive]

wait until pence misreads a routine fly ball in the playoffs.

I'm afraid the only way he misreads a ball in the playoffs is from his couch.

probably just another sabean deadline deal that doesn't work out and mortgages our future.

thank you for wheeler

is he expected to be called up this year?

that trade sucked ass.

[imalive]

P.S. the attendance numbers for your last place team are fucking impressive. Is it actually still full?

You must spray your shorts over New York 3 times a week.

Usually pretty full, but sometimes people are no shows (like me on Friday - fucking got stuck at work) or hang out in bars and such.


btw - I'm also much more excited about MMJ than the PJ show.

[Jearlpam0925]

Wish I was going to that MMJ show, but the priorities of the Philly Folk Fest beckon...

[Johnny Abruzzo]

I really miss this guy.
