Pearl Jam... or not

Pearl Jam was huge in the early '90's. I had wanted to see them for a long time. The first time they were in town, as far as I know, they played the Marquette University Student Union. I wanted to go, but for some reason decided against it - and have regretted that decision ever since.

Anyway, This time they were doing two nights at the Summerfest mainstage. Phil scored tickets, somehow, but couldn't go, so he gave the tickets to me. This was gonna be great! I couldn't wait until saturday night. Friday night, I was driving out to my friend's house for a party. On my way out, I briefly wondered if those tickets were for this night, rather than the next. I reassured myself that they were for saturday, and went on. The next morning, almost upon waking, I checked the tickets. I had missed the show! Man, I was upset.

The Frogs opened, which I wouldn't have been thrilled about. Bad Religion was second, which I would have enjoyed.

Two more untorn tickets for my collection.
