When I was little my mom had a small wooden plaque hanging up in our bathroom which read: "Some day my ship with come in, and with my luck, I'll probably be at the airport."

Well folks, I think this scenario has finally happened to me! What should normally be mind-blowingly fantastic news, has me fighting tears today. Eddie Vedder will embark on his first ever (and one could speculate his last ever) SOLO TOUR this April on the West Coast.

Where will I be that week? Oh, I'll be in Michigan. I already have a plane ticket to attend the bridal shower of my very best friend- an event I wouldn't miss for the world. Still, it hurts a bit (ok, ALOT) that I will not be seeing my most favorite musician on the face of the planet in all his solo glory!

But for all you lucky ducks that live on the west coast, or will be able to fly there for one or more shows, here's the info- Repost from PearlJam.com:

Five special prime-seat ticket packages per show will be auctioned off online along with an autographed limited-edition tour poster.

These auctions will begin on Friday, February 22nd at 10am PST in conjunction with the public on sale. (More details regarding the auctions to be announced next week). Proceeds from auction packages will support legal defense efforts for the West Memphis Three via the Damien Echols Legal Defense Fund. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Miskelley (the WM3) have been in prison for 12 years for a crime they didn't commit. After years of waiting for the chance to demonstrate their innocence, the West Memphis Three will finally have hearings this Spring to introduce new DNA evidence proving they could not have committed the crimes for which they were convicted.
