This term came from a Entertainment Weekly article. The person who wrote it was at the Philly 2005 show in the parking lot. Someone used the term "Jamily" during one of the interviews and the author ran with it....
So you can thank Philly for the term.... ha.... see you there in a month
GOD I hate that fucking word! It has a really cutesy, obnoxious sound to it. I want to puke and/or punch something every time I hear it. My GF is really amused with how much it bothers me and spent the entire day saying it was our "jamiversary" when we went to Chicago I show on the anniversary of our 1st date, and when we went to the Portland show last week on my birthday it was my "jamibirthday". I told her all I want for my birthday is for you to not say that word EVER again.
We really need to stop using that term people. It's flat out childish and obnoxious. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, LET IT DIE! I don't think we need any kind of retarded nickname either. If anything, I just refer to us as the cult. That's what we are.
I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.

I went and read the entire EW article posted earlier, and I actually had a physical reaction every time the word was used. I literally sat here in my office and physically cringed every time it was used.
This makes me want to create a Jamily t-shirt that is outlined in glow in the dark. I will wear it to all the Philly shows. Who's with me? I will make you one.
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.... (Voltaire)
haha, i sorta like the term too. a bit over the top in that it imlies we're all related but in some ways that's cool and we certainly are nuts about the band so sorta fits!
i think we need a ''you know you're a pearl jam fan(atic) when...'' tshirt with all the things listed on the back. there's a post about it somewhere around here and i think it would work quite well as a tshirt! so ya, i'd buy either! or both!

Eddie called us "Freaks". I would much rather be called that than "Jamily".
but we are FREAKS!!!!!!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
there is a special place in my cellar for those who say.....*dry heave*......"Jamily"!! :twisted: :twisted:
It's PEARL FAM!!
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
If I remember correctly, this term was actually invented on the prior version of this very board in 1999/2000 timeframe. Personally, I like "Jammers" better.
i want to make shirts..dont care about the term really..what about shirts with the logo like the 10c sticker??
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

If we have to be labelled anything, this is the best of a bad lot, imo.

This is my kind of love...

Say it... PahJammers. You love it. Admit it. Ok, I'll go crawl back to the cave.
P.S. Just think of the marketing! PJ pajamas that we could all wear like cult members. Think of Snuggies but much more creepy.

Yeah, it's that bad.
I also always liked the phrase, "Spreading the Jam"
Can we make that a t-shirt, or do people wretch when they hear that too?
but if someone thinks of something decent, i could print shirts and make them affordable
but i perfer to not have a label put on us !NO CODE!
keep me in mind for any custom screen printing jobs
