Full House
I do. 
I turned 18 in 1997 so I was a little too young to be able to fully absorb the Seattle music scene when it was in it's full effect, but I didn't do too bad for a high school kid from the suburbs and I have some incredible memories from those times of bands playing "small" shows around town. There was always rumors of secret Temple of the Dog shows that never materialized after their brief run, same thing with the guy who swears his brothers girlfriends dad cousin to the mail man saw them all together at a house party in the u district/ a bar in ballard/a closed for the night record shop/yoiu know that one park where you can see the space needle on the hill/etc etc etc...we held out hope they would keep going but it was all probably bull shit and we knew it.
I wasn't a huge TotD fan but I am not missing this show and I just found out my ticket is already secured. Way excited.
Chris Cornell
Mike McCready
Jeff Ament
Matt Cameron
Stone Gossard
Eddie Vedder (the guy that's getting me the ticket knows a little something apparently (supposedly?) and even though he won't be at all stops for Seattle he'll be there. Not going to be crushed if he isn't, but I am keeping my hopes up.)
It is going to be nothing like those shows of old just because it never could be, and I suppose at 37 I'll most likely be prefunking with a Northwest Speedball (triple shot latte and some bubba kush ) rather than mushrooms like might have seemed like a good idea at 18 or 19 (only did them two times, but they were both at concerts I had an incredible time at, Tom Petty and Dave Mathews at the Gorge at sunset are two of a long list of favorite music memories), but it's still going to be insane. I'm looking forward to this concert more than I have any in a good while.
Anybody see any good concerts this summer? Anybody have anything coming up you are looking forward to?
