Thank you for all the great albums. Thank you for all the great shows. Thank you for your passion. Thank you for always trying to think of the little guys/girls knows as your fans. Thank you for all the special treats. Thank you for putting up with us when we're impatient. And finally, thank you for still being a band for 19 years and counting when a lot of your contemporaries have long left us.

With all the negativity I see on this board, I wanted to take the time out to just say thank you.

11 MORE DAYS!!!

    and I would just like to add, thanks for making my bus ride to and from work one of the best parts of my day! I really feel it is truly a privilage to be able to have something that makes me so happy in my life whenever I want! It kind of makes me feel comforted, whatever happens in my life, I will always have this band and that makes me feel strangely blessed. When my co corkers snicker ( like now) because I enjoy typing on this board, well it doesn't bother me at all, it makes me feel kind of bad for them, they are totally missing out! Oh, and thanks for having some fucking integrity ! so lacking these days!
    all those paper plates......

    I don't think words could explain my or any other die hard fan's gratitude, appreciation, love and the affects they've had on us.

    This band means so much to me! :D

    Thanks guys, for having something that even when I'm in the worst of moods I can roll the windows down, turn up the sterio, and let it all fly with the wind.
    I have to say, no matter how I'm feeling there's some lyric harbored in there, or some riff in the PJ arsenal that can almost make everything in the universe click, even if it's just for a second.
    It's inspiring ... Thanks!

    "Thanks" doesn't seem a strong enough word. If it wasn't for PJ during some of the darkest times in my life, I fear to think where I'd be today. Also, thanks for all the 10C friends I have met along the way. The biggest thank you goes to my new 10C friend who actually reached out to me when I was desperate to get tickets to the 2nd Philly show. She is the epitome of what a true PJ fan is. Thanks, Deb ~ so glad we met and can't wait to share our Philly shows!!!!!!!!! Pearl Jam brought us together. :lol:
    And he who forgets will be destined to remember. REMEMBER THE SPECTRUM!

    Sowwie!

    In addition to thanking PJ, I'd like to thank 10c for all of their hard work in trying to keep us happy!

    They have bit their tongue a lot of times, I imagine... I don't know why I seem to bug them at the worst times, but even during those bad times, they were always respectful and helpful - even when I wasn't! :oops:

    And I am so glad that Santos still hangs out on the board - it's fun to have him around! :mrgreen:
    JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?
    EV: It's your band.

    Thank you for music and lyrics that are so amazing, you never get tired of listening to any of them. Thank you for being nice guys. Thank you for all the things you do outside of music to raise awareness for important causes that most people would never know about. My 10-yr-old son needed to do a school project last spring, and did it on the great turtle race cheering on Backspacer.

    Oh, and you're welcome Pjammer4ever...

    On behalf of my 13 yr old son, RidintheLedbetterRiff, and me, thanks for inspiring us to be better people through your music, actions, and activism to make the world a little better place by random acts of kindness, words, or a smile to those we encounter. Also special thanks for the incredible bonding we experience each time we set out on a road trip to shows and the awesome time we have at them meeting great people and singing our hearts out. Your music has helped get us through many rough times.

Thank you for giving me a platform to speak my mind. Thank you for giving me the strength to be different, to stand up for what is right in my life. Thank you for challenging me to live the most meaningful life I can live - no matter what society tells me to believe\feel\do. Thank you for endless inspiration, a real connection, and music that transcends the passage of time. Thank you for making me feel alive when I listen to your music. Thank you for being a friend, everpresent. You have made a tremendous impact in my life - you have made a huge difference to me; a huge difference in me. THANK YOU.
