Ok I want to hear from all the New Zeland fans at the pit. Don't bother posting here if your an Aussie cause this is where the Kiwi Jam fans are gonna communicate with each other. We're a small enough country to build a network of Pearl Jam friends. So come on Kiwi Jammers let's communicate to each other. NewZealandJamFan I know you might be interested.

Rumours/Facts:

-Vector Area is Scheduled for completion late August
-We all know Pearl Jam prefers to play indoor venues hence the need for Vector
-Split Enz are tipped to play the first gig with Pearl Jam in November
-Joey who's in Toronto and met the band said they intend to get down here.

New Zealand Fans:

i_am_a_wishlist - Brendan - 341xxx
NewZealandJamFan - Dean - 345xx
RedPJ - Mere - 195xxx
scottdm - Scott - 397xxx
Terryible - Mike - 269xxx

    Just keeping the thread ALIVE. It's probably to early for NZer's to be on the forum anyway. 8.51am.

    Where you at man? I'm In crappy old Feilding. No body here listens to Pearl Jam and many people have never even heard of them. I sucks arse not knowing any other pearl jam fans in person. Plus I'm only 19 which doesn't help at all.

    Do you know NewZealandJamFan? Dean is his name. I chat to him on messenger. I think it would be great if all the New Zealand fans started communicating to each other.

    Maybe, is he in Auckland too? I did a trade with one guy, it might be him.

    Good luck to you! My friend's been travellign for a few years now (I guess 5+) and he's been lucky enough to see them in Sweden and soon in Edmonton! I haven't seen them since 98!

    I haven't seen them at all. I hope I do get the chance. I will die a sad man If I never see them live.

    They'll be back soon... Are you in the tenclub? IF you join, you'll probably get really good seats. There's only about 70 current fans in NZ. Unfortunately, we couldn't get tickets to the Oz gigs in 2003 or I would've been there like a shot...

    I saw Shihad in Welly couple of weeks ago the rocked the fucking Kasbah. I broke my glasses in the mosh pit. Ha ha. Managed to fix them which is all good. Did they have a mosh pit for the 98 Pearl Jam show? I know they don't anymore. They aren't really a moshing band.

    I'm not in the Ten Club but I'm seroisly considering it. Just incase they tour. I've got to get a credit card so I can purchase a membership online. I did a currency calculation the other day and it's only about NZ$36. Plus I wanna buy some PJ merchandise. Can't find any here. It's all just Metallica or Korn or some shit like that. Well I gotta go now. Let me know how to go about joining the Ten Club.

    I don't know him then...
    About Tenclub, just get a CC and buy online. I buy a lot of stuff from the website and it usually gets here sweet, and if not they've been pretty helpful in sorting it out...

    Almost certainly, but it's at the Supertop in Auckland, hardly an ideal venue. We saw them at Galatos (only ~400 people) last time...

    Hey all you kiwi jammers. I love Pearl Jam and currently live in Wellington

    I will be going to Foo Fighters in Nov- wish it was Eddie and the Boys but Foo's will do for now- looking forward to the concert

    PJ have been my fav band since about 1999- I was looking through my flat mates CD collection and came along Ten, played it and since then have followed this band through and through- though never seen them live, one day soon I hope.

    KIWI JAMMERS RULE
