Never knew this... or perhaps I forgot... was reading Newsletter #1 on Two Feet Thick and the naming of 10 finally clicked for me:

"Fate. Quickness. hard work. No talk. No time 4 hype.
The coming together of 10.
Hands...eyes...ears..."

So cool! Full newsletter #1 here: http://www.twofeetthick.com/2011/07/28/on-the-porch-a-letter-sat-pearl-jams-first-fan-club-newsletter/

Love the "reenk roink" and just the general happy, playful, hopeful attitude of the band during this time. Good stuff.
