Binary Tuberculosis

I picked up some amazing tickets for the Pearl Jam show in Boston, nay, two Pearl Jam shows. One is unconfirmed, but I paid for the ticket reservations in advance just in case it does get confirmed. I’m talking up front by the way, as in the first twenty or so rows in front of the stage.

These two shows are going to be the last two of their current tour it looks like and you KNOW what that means! Long shows with all the energy they put on in their tour ending Seattle shows. I need this so bad, I haven’t seen them perform in a few years and it was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to.

Ironically enough I watched Eels perform a week ago in an extremely intimate venue, I was in the second row and could make out the hairs on Everett’s beard and the chords on his guitar. He put on probably one of the most personal performances I have ever seen. You knew he was enjoying himself and wasn’t just “doing his job”, you could see him get lost playing the piano, truly smiling when telling the audience an anecdote, and enjoying just being there playing for us.

I believe in self-fulfillment, always have. If you expect something to happen, it will happen. Placebos work on this principle, so being raised by human parents has had this effect on me, I have successfully fulfilled my fear of even-numbered years. 2008, you are a model example of why I hate your division by 2 sans remainder, congratulations, you are currently placed #1, right after 2006.

Right now I’m just holding out for Memorial Day weekend, I don’t care if I don’t end up going to the Sasquatch Music Festival, the hell with all the money I’ve already spent on tickets and the hotel, I’ve already told my work I’m taking a couple weeks off and I don’t care, I just want out, anywhere. If Washington doesn’t work, then Texas, or Canada, or the UK, I’ve got friends I could force to show me around in those places.

Other than that I must say that I really do have friends who I never want to lose, they’re always around to bug me to keep me happy and distracted, not to mention my family. My younger sister came to visit for her spring break. Everybody did all this, no questions asked.
