I was in a bunch of weddings. Here is a pic from one of them. I'm the girl seated in the front center, on the stached guy's lap, with a drink in my hand.
I was a Sophomore in high school (well, a Junior by August 1991). Playing sax in high school band... really into Van Halen, and hardly being able to contain myself for the release of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.

You sure that was '91? All those mustaches and big hair look more like they stepped out of '81.

NO, it was NOT 1981, it may have been '88 or '89 but close enough. The pic was just to give peeps an idea of who I am. Altough, if you really want to know what I was up to in 1991...April 30th to be exact...that is when I underwent an oophorectomy at MSKCC for ovarian cancer. I was trying to keep my post positive, but thanks for pointing that out!
I would say that is a positive post. 20 years later and still rockin' the PJ. Many people wouldnt be able to say the same. So enjoy life and keep on rockin in the free world

I was 19 and me and a bunch of friends went to a cottage for a weekend for a good time. Many beers & doobies later I was was introduced to the band I would love forever. I don't know how many times we listened to that cassette , surprised we didn't burn it out

Please don't take offense to my '81 joke... I would say rocking for 20 years is pretty positive, too!

I was 15 and discovering what would become my all-time favorite band.
Me too. Hearing my brother pop in the Ten cassette and play Alive on his kick ass stereo was a true life changing moment. I went and bought the cassette the next day for myself and have spent unknown amounts on Pearl Jam stuff since that day (every dollar well spent).
I remember seeing that address for the 10 Club on the cassette fold-out a year or so later (maybe even longer) and mailing in my info...receiving that first letter was so fucking awesome. If the correct people are reading this and want to give me back my original 10 Club number...feel free...I won't mind.
Viva la Pearl Jam!!
Seeing visions of falling up somehow.

i was only 2 years old...but i have an aunt who was a hardcore pj fan from the get go (and still is) that lives with us for a while...so i grew up on them and learned to love their music
Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my fuckin' life out, man
15 years old; year 10 at Xavier High School. I remember watching Rage (music show in Australia) one morning, and hearing this 'strange' sound that was like nothing i'd ever heard. It was the start of getting very interested in this new band: Pearl Jam.
Junior in high school. saw the even flow video. got hooked. got my license. a 1980 jeep renegade. and had to buy a second copy of the Ten cassette (wore the first one out).
Also missed PJ at the University of Lowell's spring carnival because I was only 16 and security wouldn't let me in - pricks.

I was in sixth grade in October 1990 when they played their first show. I was a quiet seventh grader when their first album hit the charts. I don't think I remember hearing them until summer 1992 with Jeremy and then had the VCR set to record their appearance with Neil Young on the 1993 Video Music Awards.
Then they kind of fell out of sight and out of mind for whatever reason until I re-discovered them in 1998 and heard someone play Yield at the college radio station. I caught up by taking out the CDs of "No Code, VS, Vitalogy" and recording them on to audio cassettes. This was in 1998.
Again they fell out of sight after college because I took a full-time job that had overnight hours. I did manage to go to the 2003 show that was on the DVD but that's about it.
A year later, the company moved and I didn't follow, while staying on with them in another capacity. I had more time on my hands between working normal hours some of the time, having time between jobs and the fact that covering games was not as grueling on me physically, thus more time to listen to music. It was at that time I joined the 10 club and made the transition from part-time to full-time fan, which is kind of ironic because for the most part since that time, I've been trying to make the transition in my work life and have had hit and miss results in that span.

I was a sophomore at Penn State. I was playing wiffleball, drinking beer, and listening to music. My buddy says, somethings along the lines, "check this out" and I haven't stopped.

I was just out of college, working, smoking, drinking and sleeping around (and not necessarily in that order). Discovered Pearl Jam in late '91 and was fully hooked on the band in '92. In honor of my newfound love, I got my first tattoo (the stickman on my ankle).

You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!
At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!
About one and a half year later puberty had really kicked in and I discovered Pearl Jam
I was driving a bright red Toyota Corolla SR5 and living on Cape Cod.
Me too, except I was in the Marine Corps.
