Found an old piece of mail in a box this weekend.....

It had my original Ten Club membership number on it.
Real men do cry, ha ha. I think my membership lapsed three different times in the early years.
Classic example of how life happens!
(I also blame women for these lapses, they're evil, just ask Helen!)

Yeah, what was the number?

Oh and Helen says "hello"  by the way.

Definitely feel your pain, Nikita’s.  My ‘94-born membership lapsed a few yrs later during college when I was broke - and then again 3 years ago after my daughter was born and I was a spaced out zombie.  Curses!

Think my og # was in the 3,000s.  Still have the wacky colorful merch order forms.  More curses!

God I remember the  days when a 20 buck renewal seemed so impossible...trying to scrape that cash together

I have order forms from 2003, 2004, etc.

"My order for RVM on vinyl for under $20? So NOW you just got it? Wow. I sent that thing YEARS AGO!"

I went from a 8XXX fan and ended up in the 267XXX range. In the early days it wasn't about seniority to me, it not having to fuck with Ticketmaster lines to secure a ticket to a show and the privledged Chritmas singles.

Maybe we were spoiled!
