Hi there,

I'm Mike. I have been reading your words for almost as long as I have been listening to Pearl Jam. I read your words almost everyday and for some reason, today, I rejoined the fan club for the first time since the mid 90's. Don't ask me why, I just did it. But I have been meaning to do it for a long time and I have just sat down ten minutes ago and joined up again.

I feel like I have a million things to say and share on the forum. I should probably just let it happen. I just wanted to say Hi and let you all know that even if you don't know me yet, I feel like I know many of you already. You should all be proud of yourselves, you are quite an inspirational bunch of people. Not surprising really when the one thing that brings us all together is the most inspirational group of people on the planet.

Cheers,

Mike.

    What's up Mike? Glad you could join us. Don't be hesitant to voice your opinion. That's what this place is here for. Just don't bitch, or dimitrispearljam will come over here to the states and make you watch MTV unplugged with him over and over.

    Ferkin ell.. thanks guys...

    I will try and answer your questions...

    I have never been to Boston, so can't comment. I live in London so I suppose its all irrelevant ;)

    Favourite band member? I met Mike last year, so it has to be him. Although I was in a band for years when I was younger and basically wanted to be Ed, so he is up there too....

    Don't do baseball, sorry. I am a football fan. Real football I mean (ouch). Southampton FC to be precise (we are shit these days, I admit)

    Favourite song? Geez what a ridic question.. today it is Who You are, tomorrow it could be something else.

    Album? For years it was Yield.. then I listened to No Code again after a few years off and I realised the genius of it.

    Shows? 1st Brixton London july 13th 1993.. changed my life, still have the stub. Then a few London shows, Berlin last year then London and Arras this year.

    I do like posters.. but only of shows I have been too.. I cant afford it otherwise! (London 2010 BK posters are freakin pricey man!)

    Clique?.. I just joined one.

    I'd love to be a stalker.. thank you.

    Sarcasm? See above.

    I read all about the philly bootlegs, and shared your relief when they finally arrived :D

    Do be carefull there are alot of football fans on here buddy, but not me, I'm a Philly boy and hate the Eagles because of all their stupid moves over the last couple of years, and hate their fans. I'm willing to trade an Eagles Jersey for a Southampton FC if you can find anyone!
