edited November 2010 in Given To Fly (live)
I decided to look for a post that was sort of in line with how I feel about this band combined with someone who is new to the board/has very few posts. First of all I've grown up with this band and through this band in a lot of ways... no album is better or worse than the next and they are all just another chapter in their lives and ours. Cropduster is one of my favorite songs regarding personal growth.

I decided to do it this way because, well, I want to give back to the community but I also want to give to those who are new so that they will hopefully pay it forward as well...

So, the winner is... with 2 posts.... a board member since 2007.... and a girl who now has ONE ball at least :mrgreen: ....

And the AWESOMEST addition to my forever youthfull exsistance would be THAT Backspacer Bouncy Ball!!! We only get old because we grow up!!

Light green to green, dark green, brown..
Every life is falling down
Brown to black, it's coming back
Dies to be part of the ground
Seed to seedling, root to stem

Sorry it took so long. I forgot I even posted this giveaway and have been real busy... clicking re-fucking-fresh on the porch waiting for the big annoucement!! :mrgreen: Happy Thanksgiving everybody. PM me your address "Ms. Pearlsolat" so I can send you your bouncy ball.

    I'm into geocaching, and there is a local cache called "bouncy ball cache" which I placed and people swap bouncy balls in and out of the cache...this might help educate some young person on who Pearl Jam is.

    I would love one of these to play a game called, High Ball :mrgreen:

    This is how you play...

    First, you have to be under the influence. Works better if you're not drunk because it can get a little violent. You need two people to play. Both stand on either side of the room - my friend has an outdoor/screened-in porch. One person takes the ball and bounces it as hard as they can towards the center of the room. The ball has to touch the floor and the ceiling at least once before anyone moves. Once the ball has hit both, both people can go for the ball. You can box out the other person if you want to. First one to catch the ball scores a point. First one to 10 wins. After you catch the ball and score a point, you are the person to throw the next ball.

    I would like a bouncy pj ball because everytime I bounce it it will remind me about life. The way that life goes up and down. I can.take it to schools and show kids, and teach them about the ups and downs. Then at the end of the day I will look at the ball and it will remind me to ask myself, if I had listened to my Pearl Jam today. Plus my kid would love it. :lol:

    I would like to have a backspacer ball, because because I'm the only human in the house who doesn't have a ball to play with.

    I need the bouncy ball. It will help reduce the amount of stress build up I get at work. I figure that if I can whip that bouncy ball around and around in my office it would significantly reduce my stress level. In addition my calculator and stapler (Swingline 310) will be very grateful in return (save them the beatings).

    I'd love one because it would seriously help the shitty feeling of not having the chance to get the grab bag due to it being sold out.
