Hopefully this isn't too late, but Santos, please make this happen for leezestarr! You already know s/he scored a mystery box and you can tie user names to packages, so it makes all kinds of sense that his/hers (sorry, but I simply don't know which) would "randomly" contain a copy of Benaroya Hall. The listing says " We want to give members the chance to obtain a cool vinyl package at a reasonable price and not go directly into the hands of flippers." I can't imagine a better way to show that than to get one to leezestar.
I've only been lurking here on the forums for a few years, but I can tell that this person exemplifies a positive attitude, passion about the band and specifically passion about this one particular release. S/he is not the only passionate fan obviously, but she definitely stands out and this would just be a very cool thing to do.
Then, if you feel like it, re-package it and release it as vault #5 for the rest of us
One day, a Benny will be on our record player and fill our house with beautiful sounds. I don't know how it will arrive - via the mystery sale, or the contest (yeah, that is still going on too!!) or through saving money (I don't think that will ever happen ) or as a simple, nice, focused-on-the-music reissue for all of us who are Benny-less
My mystery package still hasn't moved, so everything is open! Have a great weekend and thank you very much for the nice words, AO!
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
The first bite of a fresh loaf I always take with butter from the Amish market and some salt. So good, every time I do have some kickass jam that unlostdogs sent me too. I usually put a thick layer of Greek yogurt on the bread and then cover that with lumps of berry goodness. My hand deliverer has several options for some culinary delights then hahaha
I hope everyone has a great week! Yes, a Benny for everyone!
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
Haha, I like your enthusiasm! I try not to aim too high with my hopes for the mystery package to avoid being disappointed
All the talk and excitement about the myster vinyl sale just shows one more time how much fans would like this album in an affordable fashion. Let's keep this thread going, and have a great day!

Congrats Lisa! As another Lisa on the boards that would love a Benny...I will take over bumping this thread if the other Lisa doesn't mind.
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.
Now that I am "bennied" does not mean that this cause should not be pursued anymore. The reason why I opened this was because I thought it was sad that normal people might not be able to get their hands on one ever. This still stands.
Tonight we're gonna sit down, dim the lights and crank that shit! I bet it feels like we are sitting in the actual show. I cannot wait.
Free the Benny!
And Tenclub - thank you once again!!!

I get what you're saying, but can't we just be happy for her? I don't have a Benny and would really like one. I'm pretty sure I didn't get one in this sale. Oh well. I will live vicariously through the people who get them.
