it’s me you old poop!
top of the labor day to you all! ah, its nice to have days off, or at least any consecutive amount days greater than 2. we just got back from camping for the evening, which was cool but really you need more than a day to get in the swing of camping. still nice to do some fishing and commiserate with the locals.
for those that have heard it, what do you all think of the band of horses song? its really not all what i expected but i love its simplicity.
i dont think there had ever been a more anticipated release, at the time, than the release of pearl jam’s vs. i was going to western illinois university back in 93 and the whole campus, or everyone i talked to, was abuzz about its release. the local record shop, rockin robins, did a midnight sale and it seemed like half the campus was there. it was damn cold night in macomb, illinoise but that didnt harsh the mood that was quickly turning into complete pandemonium the closer midnight came. i was probably 20th in line and when i stepped foot into rockin robins i could barely hold in my excitement. i might have had wood, but thats between you and me. once the monies and product was exchanged i think i actually ran back to my dorm. which is quite rare for me cause i only run when chased, which is really never. i think i eventually got home around 1 am and i was up to at least 5 am taking it all in. to this day, i dont think any album has hit me has hard on initial listen as vs did.
here are the men of pearl jam playing in madrid, spain on 6.9.07 @ festimand sur. its an fm broadcast so you will hear the station djs from time to time.

nice… I got mine at Discs ‘N Dats, but it was damn cold that night.
so you were in macomb on that fateful day/evening? that town was interesting to say the least. i am sure its built up a lot since then, but the only thing to do on sundays was to go to walmart. do you know if either of those two places still open?

I was there that night. Played basketball there in 93′ Cold but didn’t care. What a buzz there that night. I stayed in my dorm room that whole next day and played NBA Jam with my headphones on listening to that album. It was great!!! Miss the old joint sometimes. It was a town about 15 years behind everyone else.
yeah, macomb was something else all right. i dont remember much except going to the regulator, walmart and rockin robins. that was pretty much my existence there.
