Did you see these guys waiting outside the Pearl Jam NYC Pop Up Shop event at the Volcom Store the last few day's?

...

Hopefully paying 10club members who were in attendance in NYC were able to pick up what they wanted @ the Volcom Store. It would of been great if the next Pearl Jam Pop Up events for the first few hours of opening their doors were only served for 10club members only. But THAT would never happen ..

    It would've worked had it been enforced. We were supposed to have our membership numbers handy so they could be checked for entry, however that wasn't the case.

    Hmmm....I did choose to wait in line in STL last year, won't be doing that again. But I won't shop during the show either so I miss out on anything cool and no one sells anything for face so I get screwed. But that's my choice.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    I did that too and regretted it. That fucking line and that fucking rain. I was doing it for charity which made it that much worse, cuz I felt like a complete jerk for regretting agreeing to pick up that poster. The STL line and the Wrigley lines are the two worst experiences I've had.

    Yeah but you ended up with a childish poster of some transformers or something on it right? Had to make it worthwhile!

    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Not sure if you were directing it at me or not - but I didn't buy a poster for myself. I bought one to donate to a thing I had agreed to and I bought myself a sticker and pin. At Wrigley I got a t-shirt that fell apart before the end of the summer.
