Hey fellow Pearl Jam dorks ...

Anybody able to get on the band's website this morning? They're supposed to be announcing tour dates, and of course, The Dorks have crashed the server.

Anybody have any clue about those dates? I need to know if I should be buying tickets right about now.

 

Big deal is Philly dates... October 28, 30 and 31 at the Spectrum, according to http://www.twofeetthick.com/2009/07/a-spectrum-of-pj-live-goodness/

I think there will be some Aussie dates announced today, too.

Not sure other than that, maybe some west coast shows. Maybe?

 

Yeah, I think there might be some West Coast dates coming, if not today, then sometime soon. Kinda interested in that.

Seems like they'll be an Aussie/New Zealand tour around January or so. Probably a full North Americ tour in support of the album beginning in the spring....Spring 2006 was the last true tour.

 

I was really hoping for some Texas dates around ACL ... instead, they seem to be using ACL as intermission in their four-night stand in LA. Crap.

Guess Pearl Jam never got our apology for that whole George W. Bush thing.

Look, we're sorry. Now play a real show in Texas, you pussies.

 

Fuck Texas. How about playing a real tour before 2011?

 

I heard Eddie Vedder was caught on video palming a communion wafer during a Catholic funeral.

 

Nonstory.

 

Neil Young missed the apology as well.

Presale for 10 Club members starts Monday morning.

 

I don't even know what this means.
