    Yup! I know a few of us have this sentiment in the past. Seems to fall on deaf ears.

    Another idea to raise money AND put a special item in the hands of a (potentially) regular income fan: offer a $5 Vitalogy Foundation contribution for 10C members only (limit 1 per member) during the month of October (hypothetically). At the end of that month, a winner(s) is drawn to receive a very special PJ item.

    I suppose it's just easier logistically to not have to hold a draw. and there might be different laws in different states/countries as the rules and whatnot. just sucks to not be a rich pearl jam fan. lol
