Before I start posting all kinds, I just wanted to introduce myself as a new board member.
My name is Boy and I'm from The Netherlands. I've been a loyal fan since the start (got the Temple of the Dog album soon as it came out, and followed everything PJ since), but somehow never took the opportunity to become a fanclub member. Now that has changed. It's an honor to be part of the greatest music fanclub in the world.
I've been following everything related to the fanclub from the start, and I own quite a few of the holiday singles, but I had to obtain them via the bay or recordfairs. No more I tell you
My interests lie in music and sports mostly. I play the guitar and drums, and been in bands my whole life. I think Reach Down was one of the first songs I could play properly (Not the solo unfortunately, that came a bit later. Although I could never play it like Mike does)
My first PJ show was Arnhem in '06. That's extremely late, considering I'm a follower since the beginning, but the reason is a simple one. No Money at the time. The time I was making my first money, it was when they played the RAI in Amsterdam, but I did not get tickets, because it sold out so fast. Then I had to wait till 2000. I went to the Werchter festival that year (did not go to Pinkpop. Don't like the festival). But then tragedy struck at Roskilde, and they were planned to play Werchter the next day. So that didn't happen either. Then a whole lot of waiting was going on, untill..... Arnhem 2006. Since then I try to go to as many shows as I can. This year we are in for a treat. Werchter, Ziggo Dome, and Ed solo in the Carre theatre in Amsterdam (that's one for the old bucket list)
As for collecting, I own quite a bit. I collect a lot of music, but mainly PJ and Foo Fighters/ Dave Grohl stuff. I'm a big Foo Fighters fan also. Other favorite bands include: Editors, Elbow, Tool, Placebo, Mastodon, Starsailor, Amos Lee, Triggerfinger etc, etc, etc...
Well, that's me in a nutshell. Hope to get to know you guys a bit, and share cool things together.
Welcome mate, it took me a while to get on the board as well even though I too loved them from the beginning. Cool board name too..I am amazed it wasn't taken too, didn't even try it when I chose mine.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
