What's your "Holy Grail"? You just might get it!

edited December 2013 in Lost Dogs
As many of you have seen, LukinFan has started up a little raffle/fundraising effort/fun activity. Long story short, somebody on the board will be getting their Holy Grail (their personal most sought-after Pearl Jam-related item). Now, this can be a poster, vinyl, whatever. In my thread a few months ago, I asked everyone what they wanted in the hopes of making miracles happen. Well, here we are again.

Please note: The purpose of this thread is simply to list what everybody's Holy Grail is. All the nomination/voting and discussion about nominating should be done on LukinFan's thread.

http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=134876

    physical items are nice but its the experiences, relationships gained, and memories i seek from being a fan of this band. with that said, my holy grail would be to take my wife and boys on a tour of the 10club with the band members as our guides including "the vault" with permission to take copies of every vault song that exists.

    Since the odds of that happening are near impossible, my holy grail would be for all of you to obtain your pearl jam holy grails. Got some if you need it...carry on!!

    Beautifully said. I agree 100%.

    There are so many wonderful people on this board and in the Pearl Jam community, beyond kind and generous. This is just LukinFan (and myself) wanting to try to do something good for someone who has been good to us (and others).

    FEEL THAT LOVE BABY!

    For me, it would probably be a Hartford 2008 poster, being that it was my first show and they ran out of them when I got to the merch table. Either that or any vinyl that's not Ten, Vitalogy, or Backspacer because I have those. But mainly the poster is what I'm after. You can surprise me.

    Sorry, didn't know where the thread you were talking about is at so I posted it here.

    The deadline for listing yours on this thread will be Monday at high noon Boston time (hope this is ok Rog), so it should give everyone a chance to throw their name in the hat (weekend crowd, work crowd, those bangin out of work tomorrow). At that time, the voting process will begin. Choose who you feel is most deserving of their Holy Grail and shoot Roger a PM next week.
    Sounds great - thanks Nathan for setting this thread up.

    Voting for who everyone thinks is most deserving will take place from Noon (EST) on Monday, 6/14 - Saturday. 6/18 (Noon EST) Voting will only be through PMs to me and please do not PM me until the list is complete on Monday - thanks!

    Also, if you see your name up there, and you have obtained it in the last few months, or you have a new Holy Grail, let me know so I can edit the OP.

    Okay, I'm going to get drunk now in preparation for the Celtics game tonight. Peace!

    An experience is what I want... a BBQ/jam session with the guys and 10 of my closest friends!
    (I don't know 10 PJ fans personally so I may be here to invite some of you!...yeah, I upgraded I can't keep a good thing all to myself)
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Because we can't all chip in for unrealistic items, like the Hoff playing "Not for You" on drums at MSG with the band, I'm only gonna include items that can actually be obtained. :lol:

    Mines the same, Jack Daniels Vitalogy Bottles. Different user name but you know who I am.

    I know these are virtually impossible to find so I am simply putting them down because it's really the only PJ related item I am sure I will never see. I was 12 when these came out so there was no way I was getting a hold of these. One can only hope.

    My Holy Grail...never get it...but here it goes. Said a thousand times before, I'm sure...I want Pearl Jam to play in my basement. Full on private concert. I promise I wouldn't invite anyone else, except for those few individuals who were kind enough to share my pearl jamming everyday with me. :mrgreen:
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    I realize this doesnt have a chance in hell of happening, but my holy grail is the Reeenk Roink CD.

    I had two of these in high school but I had to sell both because my idiot brother didnt file his student loans for college. Long story short - if he didnt come up with $4000 in 2 weeks they were booting him, and my parents didnt have $4K around. Sadly I think I only got about $300 each... but at the time it was $700 that was needed.

    So ever since I've been trying to track one back down... no luck since the eBay ones have gone for way too much.

    One day though... :)
