How many times has your 10C lapsed?
Hi all-
I used to be a board denizen back in the day, but I sorta let it get away from me. Quite a few times actually. I think my 10C has lapsed about four or five times now. Just too much going on in the world, I guess. Have had some great times, but the PJ always brings ya back, right?
Hope I'm not the only one! Who else is 400 and proud (albeit slightly ashamed)?
I feel like I'd be up on stage now if I hadn't lapsed so many times.

Pearl Jam bootlegs:

I guess the only real perk is the tickets, and I was lucky enough to see the band at their tiny SBE show a couple of weeks ago, which made up for the fact that my tickets for the O2 show were right up in the rafters
Awesome!! Cheers on that one!
however, i only joined 10c in 2002.
edit - wow, a difference of 3 years....2002 to 2005.....#s went from mid200s to 400s? :shock: yikes.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Well I joined 2003 and am 300XXX ... however found out recently that a friend that joined 5 months after me has a number 75000 better than me :shock: ... think that comes from when you ordered anything from 10c you were kind of given a 10c number in waiting that was then activated when you eventually did purchase a membership.

ahhhhh, yes...i remember that now. too true. bit fucked, but whatcha gonna do?
hell, years ago, they would allow members who lapsed half a year, or even a few years, to get their #s back if they had any documentation to *prove* their old #. glad they did away with that practice...b/c sure, while nice....it kinda defeats the purpose of following seniority then imo.
and this...
made me laugh!
yes...probably better!

what's your number? just wondering what they are up to.

Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
lol, ditto - I am so glad that I can't remember, I'm suicidal enough about letting it lapse as it is.
In my case it was parenthood, divorce, and other real life issues! Sometimes our priorities change, no matter how much we love the band and we forget or change emails without thinking.

Okay i guess so, but its not like taking 5 mins out from all that and filling in some credit card details isn't the biggest thing ever and they do give you quite a big period to do it in.

I don't expect them to grow as much anymore as people realize that unless you win the lottery, you don't have a chance at a good seat due to senority. That's what kept me away for a while.
sometimes people have actual problems they need to worry about, and when you can't get to a show for a couple years, just throwing $20 away isn't high on the things to do list.
Personally, I have no idea why anyone would let theirs lapse just for the fact the band wasn't touring. They rarely come to my neck of the woods.....the big perks for me is the holiday single and the magazines. I wish I had joined and stayed that way a LOOOONG time ago.

400 means in the 400,000s.
As far as the "why would you let it lapse"s... I just have a wide variety of musical interests and though I sincerely love the Pearl Jam, I like to go to everything from Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood to Glenn Tilbrook to B.B. King/Buddy Guy to The Motels. Last year, it seemed like I had a different show every week. Also, I tend to get music obsessive, whatever I'm listening to, I'm listening to a lot.
You just kinda forget, which is bad for the 10c numbers obviously. But it's always a joy to have it to come back to.
Ah well..c'est la vie.
