I think I owe a huge thanks to more than just 15 people...

This was waiting for me when I got home today. I am completely gobsmacked. Thank you doesn't seem like enough. You guys are unbelievable. I didn't want to open up right away, cuz I had a funny feeling it was gonna be this. This is so beyond generous. The gift card was more than enough. Thank you everyone from the very bottom of my heart. I hope to be able to meet some of you somewhere down the line, and thank you properly in person. This whole experience has been so cool, in so many ways. If you don't know the story behind the poster, here goes....

My first Pearl Jam show. We had just bought our house, and money was kinda tight, so no merch was purchased. We got there early and found our seats, on Mike's side, up a ways, but not too far up. When the house lights were still on this dude in a ball cap, walks out on to the stage, and grabs an acoustic guitar, walks up to the mic, and with his first words I freaked out. It was the man himself, Mr. Eddie Vedder. He said something about thanks for getting here early enough to see the opening act, I think, I honestly can't remember. Then he does a cover of The Beatles 'Hide Your Love Away'. It was NUTS!!! The show was amazing. I wish we were all carrying video cameras around back then like we are now, cuz I'd love to live that moment again. It's up there as one of the best experiences in my life. Every time I look at this poster I will think of that moment, and the generosity of this community. Thanks you again to whoever was involved in this, I am forever gratetful!

    Apologies to anyone who felt left out of participating in this grail, as we needed to plan this secretively so Brothermoon wouldn't be on to us... Nevertheless, good karma had by all!! Glad the poster finally made it there safely.

    It's just the sticker purchased from the shop, which I stuck on a pint glass I bought. I got the idea to do it when I bought a Foo Fighters pint glass last year and on the first trip through the dishwasher the FF logo was a black mess on the glass. These glasses have been through the dishwasher plenty of times without any issues!

    May 30th, 2003 in Vancouver. If you can find the digital of the audio it's worth it, it was an awesome show!

    Thanks again everyone. Woke up this morning , and instantly though to myself, 'Holy sh*t, I got the poster yesterday!'. The other picture is of one of the jigs I made to make the sleeves, I have another one at my work. @BIGDaddyWil, the sleeves in the background belong to your order, which I am currently working my way through. I haven't framed any of my posters yet, but I'm gonna get this one done first for sure. I'll post a pic when I do.

    Thank YOU, Briton, for the great work taking care of us vinyl-crazed lunatics! What started out as a simple idea turned into big production and as I've said before, you've remained professional and accommodating throughout the whole process.

    I'm always happy to give back when I can and I want to thank Dave & Patrick for gathering us together to get this done!

    Great work, everyone, all around!

    I'm happy to have helped in this effort. The way each individual speaks glowingly about you and your sleeves was all I needed. I'm looking forward to seeing these sleeves, my turn is coming up fast. Getting my order ready! Lol.

    Ed coming out before the opener were some of the most exciting moments of those tours (I think he did this through 2005, right?)
