...other than a holiday single and sporatic newsletter. Overpriced "hoodies" and other shrinking apparel, huge dollar packages to Europe shows, accomodations, toying with poster sales for those available at the time, (hmmm..kinda handy w/ the captive audience?), tiny numbers of LP releases (someone forget about Ed's Neil Young HOF speech?), very little advance info, etc, etc.
Sorry..it ain't the club it used to be.
Suddenly the t Petty, R Stones fan club seems less intimidating.
Cmon TenClub...is this NOT about the fans anymore? Maybe fans with big $
When the hell am I getiing an interesting rumor pit update...gone I guess. I'll have to settle for that occassional tease in NEWS...oh boy
Slam me now...so what.

Get ready for the heat coming your way after that post. lol
It's not easy with this cold weather we are having in the midwest right now. It will be ok my friend.
At the next show at Alpine I'll buy yea a beer.
yahhh...I know....maybe it is the cold. I'll take you up on that beer and provide a few other goodies myself...;)
Should I have a lighter with me? LOL
Also, I doubt I ever would have known about the Vic without the 10c. And I KNOW I never would have gotten tickets!

Words to live by!
The prices of what they sell (hoodies, books, t-shirts, etc.) don't seem too high to me. Since I joined about 2 years ago, i've bought every new item they put on sale and I've never been disappointed. Each time, the quality of the item is very good... I don't understand what people are expecting... Hoodies for $10 ? A 300 pages art book for $15 ?

Ani Difranco / Righteous Babe Hoodie: $35
She's a MUCH smaller enterprise, also. Or at least, I imagine she is. I'm certainly not judging either way, but I thought it would help add some valid information to this discussion

If you want... see it as an investment... go to ebay and take a look to the xmas singles that some guys are selling... more than 25 bucks for sure !!!
So... seems fare to me what they offer!!! As a bonus you could by all the t-shirts (not expensive at all), etc, etc, etc
Anytime you're in a pinch, like about to be cuffed and transported downtown, you just bust that bad boy out and you get off scot free.
Well, it got me Vic tix, so no complaints from me.
I don't get what other "benefits" you would want. I've never been in the ten club for anything but the tickets. that's what fan clubs are for. and really when it comes to tickets, from what I've heard the ten club can't be beaten. low prices, good seats...the membership fee is pretty damn low to boot.
Whatever you are, be a good one --Lincoln
but at least you get a chance at tickets
try growing up listening to ZEPP,WHO,STONES,we never ever got any news about ,what ,when & where you were ei lucky listening to the radio at the right time or you weren't that meant no tickets to any shows back then ...so even if we get 1% of accurate info from 10c it's still 100% better then any other out there ....imo ..
True, true....
Just seems to me that the 10C has changed ALLOT since back when I first got on baord...seems like we got more info sooner...in fact sometimes we were up to speed faster than the press. This was also a benefit I once enjoyed.
But anyway....10Clubs a good thing...I don't always agree with how they handle some merchandise issues and some other things, but thats their call.
I was just feelin pissy last night.
Better now.
Patricks offer cheered me up...your on dude! I'll even bring the lighter
Good point.
These ARE the bands I grew up with..and still listen to...
I'm in that 40 something crowd...
Oh, so since you were in a pissy mood, the 10C gets the brunt of it?....isn't that what family/friends/significant others are for?
yeah me too that used to get me so fucking mad tickets back then were announced thru local radio st so if you were in school with no access to one you missed out unless someone would come into school screaming TICKETS JUST WEN'T ON SALE FOR LED ZEPP AT THE GARDEN holy fuck talk about being pissed ...just be happy with what we get from this 10c even if it's a small amount ...
Well...unfortunately no one else was around at the time to vent to!
Although as mentioned, I'm still not pleased with some aspects of how the 10Club is run and I'm not necassarily recanting everything I mentioned. But, I probably could have been more subtle or shut up...so goes it.
JOEJOEJOE...can you be there for me next time dude?
Everybody had a one line.....
Everybody misses Andy....
We'll be seeing him in no time.... Oh Yeah.....
We are Red, we are White, we are Danish Dynamite!
Sure, take a swing at me next time.....I don't always hit back!
I didn't care about the newsletters... but, liked the Christmas Singles.
...
It is still a great model of a Fan Club.
Hail, Hail!!!
The Michael Jackson fan club offers very low cost child care services! I guess for $25 membership someone might as well start an "official" petition on the message board asking that we get that service, too. Just make sure that in the official petition, we mention that we don't want our child care to be BYOB... we need to mention that Michael's fanclub services come with all the free "jesus juice" a kid can drink.
Who wants to author this official petition???
