edited June 2012 in The Porch
Although I won't be able to update this original post with everyone's responses and put together a comprehensive list in one place, I thought it would be cool to have a thread for any readers that maybe calling in Wed to talk to The Rob, Tim, and SLH. This would give them some good ideas and interesting topics and questions to throw at SLH.
So with that said, what have you always wanted to ask our elusive friend, SLH? Do so here! "Go"...

    Why are shipping costs so high? For example (I'm talking US only here):
    Vitalogy Reissue LP shipping is $12.50. Average USPS Media Mail rate for a 180g double LP is no more than $5. Is it materials (box, tape)? Handling (10c labor)? Even then, $12.50!?!?
    VS Reissue LP is $10.50 for shipping. Media Mail is $3-4. Same questions!
    Yet, the 9 POUND Super Deluxe Box is only $5 more ($17.50) than shipping the Vitalogy vinyl?
    Why can't we get discounted or consolidated shipping for multiple items? I bought 3 LP's of Live On Ten Legs and paid $7.50 X 3 = $22.50 for shipping.

    Help us understand SLH! Thanks!

    after a long day of having to deal with merch crazed pearl jam fans, when you go home, do you find you've become:

    a) moderately alcoholic
    b) stressed out to the point that you curse people you may see wearing pearl jam shirts under your breath
    c) throw darts on to a dart board made of rare and/or valuable posters encircled around a benaroya vinyl and laugh your troubles away
    d) forget about it all and go to sleep on pillows made of pearl jam onesies?
    e) all of the above

    also, a second question:

    how badly does your mail carrier hate you?

    do you try to keep 1 of every item that ever existed at the 10c in hopes of retiring early one day where you invite us and our checkbooks and have a SLH clearance yard sale?

    Any info on the Blue Fixers?

    What ever happened to making a tee shirt from the winner of the tee shirt contest (Chiquimonkey)? Maybe I am wrong but I thought it was supposed to made into a tee shirt for everyone to buy in celebration of the Deluxe 10 set????
    So much hard work in the designs and so much hard working casting our votes ;)

    Hands down this is the best thing to ask based on his assumed role with the 10C. I would even pay money for him to be put on the spot and try to justify the absurdity known as 10C shipping.

    Since '03, which Pearl Jam tour was the most intense year @ the office you have ever experienced?

    Does the 10club give you flexible vacation time day's off so you could travel & see Pearl Jam outside of Seattle?

    Will there be any more mystery poster sales? And if so, any '96 & '98 in the mix?

    Any more scratch & dent poster sales?

    You must get alot of mail & reading all the posts on the boards about shipping & the long wait times. Any possibility to try for a month another delivery service provider, other then DHL Globalmail? Maybe try USPS for international orders like Kufala Recordings use? They include tracking numbers & packages shipped from California get delivered within a week to 2 all over the world. Please try it out, just for a month & check out the feedback.

    Any thought about sending out emails to 10club members a day or two before hand that new Pearl Jam goodies goes on sale @ the 10club store? If you're not on online 24/7 it's hard to find out new Pearl Jam merchandise is already on sale without any warning. Many times rare goodies sell out so fast without even knowing it was available. Just a thought to let the fan's know before hand to stay tuned @ a certain time & stuff.

    When are you coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia?

    How did you get started working for the 10Club? Have you been there since the beginning?

    A lot of people (including myself) don't understand everything that goes on with designing merch, taking orders, and then shipping it out to the customers. Can you explain the process? What are your specific duties within this process and within the 10C?

    What is the hardest thing about your job? Best thing about it?

    Where is the merchandise available in the Goods section housed? Is it at the 10C HQ or another facility?

    Do you have any say in the type and design of merchandise that will be offered by the band?

    Any instances of cool merch that was thought up/designed but just didn't become a reality?

    And just curious, but how many e-mails or PM's do you typically get each week regarding product/shipping inquiries or issues.

    Thanks!

    Some more questions ...

    How did you get the 10club gig in '03?

    Damaged Pearl Jam goodies that come back to the 10club, what ever happens to them?

    Why haven't there been any 10club gift certificates sold @ the 10club store?

    Any word when then 2010 box set will be available for purchase?

    Are there any FTM soundboard recordings floating around or going to be released from previous and/or future shows?

    What is an average day like for you at 10c headquarters?

    What hours do you work?

    What's your favorite lunch spot down here in Georgetown?

    White or wheat? Paper or plastic?

    How often, would you say, are you called over to Kat's desk to read a stupid post with someone bitching?

    Who is your favorite person to chat with in the band?

    What would you do if PJ retired from music?

    IS there any way 10c/Ames would reprint some of the classic posters from the 1998 tour or any others for that matter? Maybe stamp them with a PJ20 watermark to differentiate them from the originals.

    That would be a great idea. And sell them for 20 dollars a pop.

    Wouldn't your life be easier with an assistant?

    Wouldn't everyones Pearl Jam forum/youtube experience be all that more enhanced if you had an in house video editor - like the bootlegs only you can get a dvd or just "video" download of a show you were at? :mrgreen:

    Are you hiring at 10c?

    I need another business contact to put down on my unemployment job search checklist...you can say no, I am running out of places to try to apply to...but if you really want my resume, I'll send it to you, I have a wide variety of job skills...and I really am willing to take the train to the bus station, to downtown....everyday and I will walk in there with a smile on my face everyday and a box of Top Pot Doughnuts in hand every Friday.....
    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.

    Do you sleep the night before a ticket sale?
    Is there a set number or % of tickets the 10 Club gets or is there some negotiation depending on the place?

    This thread rocks! Just read through it instead of taking callers!

    Are you going to be offering posters along with the ticket sales again? This has been my favorite change and is totally worth the shipping for me. If there is any show specific merch like a shirt can you offer this along with the ticket as well? I just hate having to waste all day in line only to have someone buy up 20 shirts and eBay them.
