Congrats on beating cancer! You are in for a treat when you finally get to see them live. Best of luck getting tix and hopefully we'll have a proper tour soon.

Thanks Porch sitter. I think I am going to buy tickets and go. I really will only have to take the Friday off and if I am honest right away, maybe they will understand. Also, if I cannot go, I am sure that someone else will buy the tickets from me if I had to cell them.

Heard an interview on the radio; early bird prices are going until Peter Conlon (organizer) decides to jack up the price. Probably in the summer?

The new job will not start until Aug. 25th- so how can you ask for time off when you haven't even worked somewhere for a month. Tickets go on sale Saturday. Should I buy tickets??? I need a new job because my current job is going to give me a nervous breakdown, but I haven't seen PJ live since 2009. I couldn't make PJ20 because my son got married that weekend. What would you do???


Once I knew I was getting the job.... I would tell my potential new job that i had an out of state wedding that weekend... if i really wanted to go... and see how they react. Ive done it a few times... i have never encountered a problem. Those out of state weddings are awesome...

Wow! Awesome story!!! :D

I don't think it will be a problem to get tickets - especially if you grab them on Saturday morning. I'm going to get up early (I'm 4 hours behind eastern time) and get them set, just for peace of mind about it.

Hope you check lots of things off your bucket list this year! And for many years to come!

Have a question for anyone who has been to a PJ Festival show before.

I know they have posters for sale at the show (New orleans 2010, Ect) Did you buy your poster early and hold onto it all day and hope for the best, or buy it online after? I would love to get one for the upcoming Music Midtown show, but dont want to ruin it at the event all day.

I bought both ACL show posters after the festival (the camper one and the tv show taping one). Both were in the Goods section for $30 so that worked out perfectly. I didn't have to lug it around at the festival (good thing with all the rain and mud). But you never know what posters will be available in Goods AFTER a show, so who knows with this one.
