Ok, so, I've been thinking... We keep hearing rumors about a potential show to commemorate the Off Ramp show in 1990 and it's just driving me nuts! I really want to be there (wherever THERE is) if it happens, and I bet you will too. This is maybe totally CRAZY and maybe even inappropriate, but I was thinking... how about WE celebrate that anniversary? I mean, obviously we can't put a show together, (or can we?), but maybe we could throw a 10c party somewhere in Seattle that weekend, spin PJ records, and just celebrate music? And... hahahaa, ok, I know this is wishful thinking on my part, but... how about we invite Pearl Jam to OUR party? All right, no, I am not drunk. And yes, I know it sounds kind of stupid, but... is it?? Let's think about it! On the other hands, if there's going to be a show somewhere maybe it's time fans knew. Hello? :mrgreen:

    I know no matter what goes on (barring I am not travelling for a potential show) I will be starting the days/nights festivities by popping in the 10/22/90 DVD and starting it off right.

    Well, let's hope we hear about a potential show, if not I am definitely organizing this, even if it ends up just being three crazy drunken PJ fans spinning records on an otherwise empty Seattle venue, hahahahaha! :D

    Yay! I am getting PMs about people wanting to organize something in NY too, which I am totally up for. Well, let's say we wait to hear about a potential show in the next couple of months and if not we'll get started with our own parties!

    I guess I'd like to have party for this since I doubt I'll be able to get over to the US or anything. Where can I get a copy of the DVD from? I have the audio bootleg, but DVD would be even better...

    You mean from the first show? Not sure if there's a dvd, but you can definitely see videos (very bad quality though) on You Tube.

    I have a DVD of it. It's as good a quality as you can get. Considering it's from a VHS as DVD didn't exist in 1990. It's all there though, including the soundcheck of Evenflow.

    Thanks for the offer! It's more work commitments than anything else, it's not a good time of the year for us to go. :(

    I definitely think that a party at the Off Ramp Cafe would fucking rad. I will definitely be in attendance. This is my dream scenario for 10/22/2010:

    The band will announce that there will be an anniversary show on 10/22/2010 at the Key Arena (or fill in any better venue in Seatle that can fit 10,000 people), and everyone will buy their tickets for this momentous occasion. Everyone will assume that they are playing a big show, so no one will expect any shenanigans.

    But on 10/21, there is a leak that PJ will play a secret show in Seattle at an undisclosed location. Of course, they would go under the guise of Maple Jar, so then unsuspecting people will be thrown off. Of course, us 10 clubbers will get the real scoop via e-mail (hopefully much more effective than the soundgarden/nudedragons e-mail system). Us 10 clubbers would go then purchase the tickets, which would probably sell out in 10 minutes or so.

    Once we buy the tickets, we'd be e-mailed clues to the location, which would probably be where did Pearl Jam play their first show as Mookie Blaylock? Of course, we'll all know that it is Off Ramp Cafe, but that makes it all the more fun. The time of the show would then be revealed to be right at midnight, and plenty of die hard Pearl Jam fans of all kinds will be camping out at the Off Ramp Cafe.

    Finally, the doors will open, and we'll all chill as we listen to the different vinyls and ask each other whether it will be Matt Cameron on drums or Dave Krusen for old time's sake. At the stroke of midnight, the room will darken, as we will hear the beginning riff to "Release" once the guys come out. They will put on an amazing show, as the band will rock out the small venue. Infact, since we're in lalaland, why not go all the way to assume that Chris Cornell will come out, and we'll see a couple Temple of the Dog songs (Say Hello to Heaven!) Once we're done, it will be hard to believe that they will put on another kick ass concert that night at the key.

    That night, Mudhoney and Alice in Chains will open for Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam will then put on a kick ass show that made their 2009 shows look embarrassing. Throughout the show, several guests will come out, including Jerry Cantrell, Chris Cornell, Kris Novoselic, Mark Arm, and Matt Lukin (Pearl Jam will play Lukin with Matt Lukin on the bass!). The show will go on until atleast 2 a.m., and put the Philly boots to shame. Eddie will promise that they will never do another show like that again, but we know Pearl Jam will always continue to innovate and improve their shows every time!

    Bugga.

    I thought this was a legitimate cellebration thrown by PJ.

    Can we get PJ to come preform at this Party? so other people in the world will spend thier life savings to participate?

    Please? :ugeek:

    And it's my birthday!! Not that it matters, but, I just had to throw it in...

    My birthday is only 3 days later! I agree that it would be awesome if 10clubbers from around the world planned 20th anniversary celebration parties all on that day. If a NYC one is a possibility, I would definitely try to make it to that one as I have a free place to stay there. :D And I love helping to plan events, so I would be happy to do what I can from Ohio.

    In regards to thefin's excellent fantasy senario, isn't the Off Ramp Cafe closed? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
