I was wonder... Can we do together something for our special band? What would You say.

Please, I don't think it's stupid idea, and I don't think we can not do it. It's just a matter if we want to.

I was thinking if we could do something for them for next Christmas. My idea is: to collect many pictures of PJ fans from the whole world (smiled), and some Christams greetings in different languages. To find persons in many countries who would take care of collecting pictures (from local fun clubs) and sending them to somebody in USA. In USA somebody would do a plaque (table or sth of paper) with this pictures and greetings and SOMEHOW (i don't know how yet) give it to PJ member before Christmas.

I think it would be nice. I watched dvd, where Eddie was making a film or taking photos with all the crowd on concert.
They give some Christmas gifts to many of us, so why we wouldn't do it the same for them?

Oh, please, don't tell me i am wrong. I guess we can do it! Will U join it? Any ideas?

Please, reply...

    That's not a bad idea. I would suggest more of a scrapbook theme for all the pictures kind of like the books that were made at the fundraiser parties before the shows on the last tour. Could be a lot of work though. You can send the pictures and notes to my house.....my wife likes making scrapbooks. :)

    Hm... Really thank U, but i must tell u i don't understand what is scrapebook (i can't find in a dictionary, sorry:)). I guess it's a kind of photo album (?). But know it doesn't matter, we can discuss the form. But U agree?- this is not stupid, and maybe U can help?
    About the work... yes, it would be a many of work, but we have time till next Christmas:)
    Thanks for answer:)

    yes a scrapbook is similar to a photo album but the layout is more creative and elaborately decorated... and as mentioned they were already used for the CCFA pre-parties for the last tour... i like the idea of a large wall piece type thing... maybe in the shape of a global map with the pictures making up the land they come from... the hardest part would be finding a way to get it there... and even if it did would PJ really appreciate the effort that went into it or would it be lost amongst all the other fan mail?

    Yes! I was already thinking about the "world map" shape of this, but i have the same problem - it must be a really big map, other way the faces would be unclear (too small).
    About giving this "thing". I don't know how to do it... on the site http://www.pearljam.com is mention that people can send sth to them, but i think we would have to discuss it with sb in Ten Club - i guess, if some of letters are delivered to the band - it always do a human, somebody, a person - so we would have to try to find this person and explain him/her, that is rather unusual message for PJ.

    So it's about priorities... For U this is "giving back something" - You said - if they are dedicated to us, we will be the same for them. My point of view is -give sth, not in return, just give. Maybe it doesn't really matter, if they like it, or not. It matters to me. I will feel better, if I do this.

    Do you really think about money? How much it will cost... I don't have much money (i don't care, i'm not starving-so that's ok), and it would be a pleasure to give some money for such of that thing. Better than spend my money for some stupid movies in cinema, or buying things, which i don't even need. Besides, I don' think it will ruin my budget.

    I think it would be a cool gesture....and would be willing to help out with the states part of it...

    My feeling would be that it would be too big to put into a world map. Cool idea but I would assume there would be a lot of people that would want to submit to it and it would be too massive.

    You give thanks to them by dropping $60 to see them, $25 for posters, $60 for hoodies and $13 for cd's. I'm sure that is all the thanks they need.

    If U think this way - continue...
    My boss pays me for my work, but it's not everything i want from my job. I'm happier when people come to me and thank for my work and rescue their animals from death. Money is not everything. They are important (especially when U don't have them:)), but not everything. Maybe i'm naive, but i believe i'm not the only one in this world, who think this way. About posters - i don't need them:). I pay for cd's and for tickets (but not in dollars, thanks God), but i think it's still not enough for the joy (more than joy i'm sure)

    i think its a good idea. and even tho they get paid and we pay money i like and agree with your point, its not about money. if it was only about money then why would there be such a following on this board?

    its a good idea. lets get more people on board for something.
