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.

ya never know. no plans at this time.

any change of getting 10C to sell PJ guitar picks????

I would love to have a PJ pick if there are any lying around there I'm sure you have my address

Santos,

Big standing ovation here in PA for not only a great show, but taking the time to answer questions here!

Thank You!

Are any laptop/messenger bags in the works again? Would love to have either a laptop or Ipad bag similar to the old ones at a reasonable price. Also, as someone else mentioned would like more mystery posters, scratch-n-dents, and the incredible 50% off everything sales. Are there any special coupons like a BOGO or % off sales coming up soon? Thanks.

no plans at this time.

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!

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.

send me an email, and i'd be happy to explain shiping to you. too bad you didn't call.

Okay so I feel like a jackass. I was really going for shock value and do apologize. I heard the show and you were very open and upfront about everything, including the shipping. I guess my biggest beef would be with not being able to get reduced shipping if ordering 2 LPS since I know they fit with the way they are packaged (since I ordered 2 LO10L that came in the same package but I had to pay 2 x shipping, and yes I know the weight is a little heavier, but still) but I didn't specify that during my mini-rant before. You don't need to respond to this though as I'm sure it's just a matter of logistics.

Keep up the great work and again, my apologies.

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?

see transcript or listen to show

damaged merch is either gifted or turned into art

gift certificates- been trying to get these implemented for awhile, lots of moving parts, getting closer.

sooner than later on the box set

Excellent!

First of all, thanks for being on the show today. I really enjoyed it.

Do you know if Kat and Sea have any plans of being on AET? Or did you just lose the game of rock, paper, scissors and get suckered into taking one for the team?

Spector

You´ve stated that you love the beer from Wangen, Germany.
Why not make a deal, and I send you and the whole staff at TC a collection of Germany´s finest beers for the price of rereleasing the Düsseldorf Poster from 07?


Edit: No need to answer - already discussed in the show...anyway: Prost!!!

is there a chance the band would consider selling signed items at a premium (for charity perhaps)?

we donate a ton of signed items via the Vitalogy Foundation.

My question for SLH: Does Pearl Jam and the Ten Club have any plans to open a "Monkeywrench Records" - record store in Seattle (in the spirit of Third Man Records in Nashville, TN) and release a lot of complete Pearl Jam concerts on vinyl exclusively from the Monkeywrench Records Store in Seattle and the Monkeywrench Online Store (for international distribution)?

no plans to open a physical location
