    $20 per year is a steal bro, stick around

    I'm a record collector, audiophile...paid $40 Analog. mostly renewed for xmas single
    I hear you... go digital for $20 and if it's a single you like that year buy it from the shop, here, or ebay for $10... if you don't like it you still have the mp3
    I know that's an option...tell ya what...I'm gonna wait til this Fri. the 10th when newsletter email drops..if its just another rehash of Singles soundtrack, EV tour, new t-shirt or hoodie, contest, etc...I'm out

    What else would you be looking for right now?

    This should be a great opportunity for the OP and a potential trade partner. Offer to cover the OP's analog membership fee to maintain seniority. When the band plays Seattle (or anywhere else the OP travels) next the OP offers up his spare to his trade partner for cost less membership funds paid to date.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Genius... Money transfer annually to cover membership + "admin fee" for selecting sponsors lottery choices + "pick-up fees".
    To include all Seattle, Montana, California, Alaska, BC, AB shows. BOTH TICKETS!

    Draw up the paperwork...

    After over 20 years as a 10 Club member, I looking into not renewing...don't get me wrong I've had some amazing times and experiences with this band.
    I've seen a lot and spent a lot too. I believe successful bands/musicians run their course after the 20 year mark..after that it becomes repetitive.
    Before anyone here rushes to judgment (or could care less), realize this-
    Let's be honest the xmas singles have sucked for years now (the last 7" that was actually about xmas was 2007)..PJ plays here (Seattle) once every 4-5 years now..(granted each member plays or is seen around the city more so than anywhere else)
    the baseball shows in the past year were a slap in the face to their hometown all because EV is from Chicago and know Epstein...
    EV's personal political (sometimes drunken) rants onstage and off...and it'll just get worse this year moving forward...gee I wonder why??..
    I always appreciated other band's nonchalant approach i.e. Soundgarden, AIC, etc. the music speaks for itself and no real need for always extravagant tours, merch, exclusive vinyl, etc.
    Don't get me wrong PJ is not U2..they've always had their own of way doing things. I don't see the difference anymore nor do I really care...and one last thing..
    I don't need another PJ tshirt!!...

    Talk about complaining for the sake of complaining; talking about the last 7'' that was actually about Xmas being in 2007. There's 52 songs from the Holiday Singles, and only six are about Christmas (Let Me Sleep, Ramblings 2, Don't Believe In Christmas, Someday At Christmas, Santa God, and Jingle Bells).

    "Looking into leaving"???? What exactly do you have to look at? Just leave.

    and people act like leaving the 10c makes it seem like you'll never listen to their music again, not the case.

    Being in this club is about the energy felt when the lights go down and the band takes the stage. Its about the friends you make.
    The rest is just window dressing. Just curious, what is your number? :)

    I went digital for the first time last year. $30 USD for a t-shirt, a single I'll never spin, and a digital bootleg that I can probably watch on youtube? Seems really pricey. I am very happy with the $20 digital membership. That's worth access to the boards alone IMO. Access to pre-sales and limited edition vinyl is icing on the cake.
