I am pretty new to the whole forum thing I never really got into until now. But there is just one thing that stands out about Pearl Jam and their fans. The people in the 10C and the fans of the band are just amazing and so nice. Little things like being welcomed making my first post the other day or just talking and hanging out with people at the shows you just meet such amazing people with cool stories and people who just love the music it is truly an amazing thing. And there is one thing that just stands out among anything for me and something I will truly be thankful for.

I can remember when I went to the 2008 2nd night show at MSG and my friend was suppose to have a ticket for me. I say "suppose to" because one of her friends actually gave it away by mistake so I was left with out a ticket for the show. I waited outside trying to find someone anyone who had an extra ticket so I wouldn't have to deal with the scalpers. As the show was getting ready to start I found a woman at Will Call picking up her tickets. I asked if she happened to have an extra ticket. She simply replied "are you a fan? You aren't going to go sell this to a someone else are you?" Suddenly I became extremely excited and told her I was a fan and would walk in with her if she were to give me the ticket. She asked only for face value, didn't jack the price up one cent and then had let me walk in with her. As we went through security she gave me my ticket and when I looked down it was a 30th row seat for the show. ON THE FLOOR! I was amazed at the kindness of this woman and though I can't remember her name I will always remember what she did for me and be extremely Thankful. Because of her I continue to try and help out other fans in anyway possible. I just wanted to share that story and just let everyone know how Thankful I am to all the fans and members of the 10C because you can really tell that everyone looks out for one another and there something special about them. Thank you all and I can't wait to meet the fans out in WI and celebrate 20 years of amazing music!
