This month at the Pearl Jam message board where I hang out we are celebrating the band's 7th studio album, Riot Act.
This album will always have a special place in my heart.
It was the first album I ever got before the release date.
First album tour when I saw Pearl Jam perform multiple times (6) and traveled to see them perform in other states, Nevada and Massachusetts. The picture below shows some of us at the Vegas meet up in June 2003... The two on the right are now married with a baby girl, the guy on the left we lost track of and the three of us in the middle, chrissy, buby and myself still talk regularly.
I spent my 40th birthday seeing them play in Key Arena in Seattle.
Most importantly it was the first time I anticipated an album release and tour with friends who "got it". This was the point when I had newly made Pearl Jam friends through the internet and we chatted in excitement every day about rumors we heard.
When I listen to this album all those great first time feelings come back to me and for that I am very grateful!
You Are

You are definitely a Fan with a capital F! I just shared the videos with my hubby and he said, "Where does she GET all these!?"
Is your husband a fan? Does he travel with you to the meetups and such?

Oh, how fun. I
m not a huge PJ fan since grunge killed my beloved heavy metal, but I like their music and have some songs of their in my iPod.
