Good Evening:

At a Seattle show in September a few Ten Club members and I were talking about how over the years we've heard or read a story for nearly every PJ song having a personal meaning to someone we encountered.

I work in publishing and we had an idea to put together a collection of these stories, written by the fans.

What we're picturing - a paragraph per song about someone's individual connection to that song.
Ideally, a few months down the road, we could make this Pearl Jam journal of sorts available via a link on this board.

Due to the specific targeted group of people, we don't anticipate a profit on this project. But, if we were able to recoup the dollars we put into it, we'd like to involve the Wishlist Foundation for potential proceeds.

We want to hear from you! If you would like to participate, please email a story about a PJ song of your choice, along with your first name, last name and hometown to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:pearljamjournal@gmail.com">pearljamjournal@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->.

Thank you for your consideration! We'd love to hear from all of you. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
