I promised to write more about my October trip to Austin, Texas. I’m finally getting around to the details in anticipation of the premiere of Pearl Jam’s appearance on Austin City Limits this weekend (Saturday, November 21 on WXXI, but check your local PBS listings).
I had the good fortune to attend the simulcast in the Hogg Auditorium while Pearl Jam recorded their session for Austin City Limits in the KLRU studio.
You can watch a time lapse of what will be aired on Austin City Limits synched up with Pearl Jam’s performance of The Fixer:

Pearl Jam kicked off their North America tour in Toronto last weekend. This was live show #48 for me and another memorable standout. Every PJ show has something unique. At the Molson Amphitheatre, it was the buzz of the Canadian National Exhibition, the breeze off the water, and border troubles for Ted Leo.
The Pharmacists lost their singer Ted, but PJ didn’t leave the audience hanging. They could have made the crowd happy with just one Ed song and then left the Pharmacists on their own. Instead the band offered a lesson in being prepared to be spontaneous. You can’t find a better band.
I took a ride ten years ago today to my first Pearl Jam concert. I rode the wave and unyielding obsession has taken me to 45 concerts around the world to see my favorite band. It’s evolution baby!
This blog is a little experiment to work my writing muscles.
I’ll post thoughts on some of my favorite things, especially - Sci Fi and Genre, in particular Supernatural, Farscape, and occasionally the works from the Whedonverse.
I’ll sprinkle in some comments on my favorite band, Pearl Jam, and my home town, Rochester NY and the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario region a bit too.
