i hate noobs, hehe.

i didn't really see any new members in 06 so hopefully that trend stays. i don't know why anyone would join the 10c since the numbers are in the 440 range by now.

I just joined a month ago. I care not what my number is. I just want the benefits besides the good tickets; 10C only specials, the xmas single, Deep, etc. It's worth the $25 (CDN) even without the possibility of good seats to me. Especially since they only come here once every decade and a half anyway.

well said! i only joined in 07 so my number is really rubbish, but ive just been to two amazing pearl jam shows thank u tenclub! worth every penny!

Yes it is! I was wondering if anyone would ask. I am very proud of my new scar so I was sharing (just below my belly button and a bit inside).

I had keyhole surgery 2 1/2 months ago to remove my gall bladder, that's the hole the camera went through and I think it's where the gall bladder popped out.

I did hope for slightly larger scars so that I could get tattoos to hide them (hubby doesn't like tattoos so I needed an excuse), but I only have 4 tiny little ones.

Enjoy my belly button! I may change it at some point for a picture of one of my toes without a toenail (I've had 2 removed) or maybe stretch marks or one of my other scars, maybe it could be a gallery of my imperfections? Maybe I'll just leave it as it is.

I hope we've all stopped this bickering before then and make them feel at home here...

What are the chances?

screw you, and screw them and the bandwagon they will attempt to roll in on!!

I expect some new members... and we should expect new threads like:

- Why the name "Pearl Jam"?

- Why do everybody hates Boom? They all "BOOOO" him at the concerts...

- Are there any Pearl Jam Bootlegs?

- Do you suggest to go to see this band live?

- Probably a poll regarding what's your fav record, with everything between Vs. and Riot Act missing

... but they're welcome anyway

New fan or old fan, we all love the band and it is ridiculous to claim that
you are a BIGGER BETTER fan because you have a lower 10c number. You have
no way of knowing how music affects someone who just listened for the first
time today, or someone that saw them in 1991. None of us own the rights to
the fan club, nor can we claim to be a bigger fan than anyone else just
because we recognize a song half a second before the person sitting next to
you, or because you did the "appropriate" hand gestures during Given to Fly
And, some of you may not believe this, but Pearl Jam loves 10c member #1 as
much as 10c #450000 all the same because no matter your number, you are
their paycheck.

There should be a thread so we can get a list of all of the new members that join after Backspacer...

then we should see how many we can scare away by Christmas!!

New people are a good thing. Some older fans will get bored and move on to other things, it sucks but it happens. The band needs new fans and new blood to keep it relevant and keep it evolving - so do these boards a lot of the time. Personally, I'd like to see someone other than the same usual suspects discussing every single thread.

And a new 10C member or board member doesn't necessarily mean a new 'fan'. I've loved Pearl Jam since 92 and been a member for less than a year. I simply ran out of more interesting things to do with my life and ended up here!

Hey! :evil:

Ha... I agree with you - though I don't like it because I like the "old" fans, but change is sometimes good and not necessarily a bad thing for the "older" fans.

My daughter is a new blood and it'd be interesting to see her take on the whole thing - she's turning 14 in a few weeks and I just signed her up.

I was blown away with her username... didn't expect it even though I knew one of her goals is to go to Japan as an exchange student when she gets to high school.

Her username is JunjouAmaranth.

So.... watch your language around here and make her mom look good... which means covering my ass when I get in trouble!

I'm sure there will be a few who will join for a year or 2 for tix to the new tour, get their fill, and then be off again. I think we know the folks around here who are here to stay.

i suspect a lot of repetitive threads if there is an inflow of newbness

+1. I never got around to being a 10C member because after the 2000 tour, I always did better with ticketmaster tickets than my 10C friends. I figured I would always be behind. I'm so glad I am a 10C member now, and should have still done it 11 years ago (I was 16 then and my concert career began).

Way too much has been made of the so-called poppiness of The Fixer.

Exactly, you guys are acting like every 14-year-old girl in the country is obsessively listening to this song, which obviously is not the case. The people who like "The Fixer" are more likely to be people who were already Pearl Jam fans or people who like music similar to them.

Howdy Fan since the beginning. Haven't joined the club till now for no particular reason. thought I would give it a shot this year. I'm enjoying reading the threads so far and getting caught up on so much information. I'm really enjoying seeing some of the more obscure information present on this board.

I'm living up in BC keeping the flame alive and trying to introduce as many people as I can to new music and especially live shows of the band.

Looking forward to trying to track down some old bootlegs of my first 3 shows too!
