Board Noob intro

edited March 2012 in The Porch
Hello,

Before I start posting all kinds, I just wanted to introduce myself as a new board member.

My name is Boy and I'm from The Netherlands. I've been a loyal fan since the start (got the Temple of the Dog album soon as it came out, and followed everything PJ since), but somehow never took the opportunity to become a fanclub member. Now that has changed. It's an honor to be part of the greatest music fanclub in the world.

I've been following everything related to the fanclub from the start, and I own quite a few of the holiday singles, but I had to obtain them via the bay or recordfairs. No more I tell you :D

My interests lie in music and sports mostly. I play the guitar and drums, and been in bands my whole life. I think Reach Down was one of the first songs I could play properly (Not the solo unfortunately, that came a bit later. Although I could never play it like Mike does)

My first PJ show was Arnhem in '06. That's extremely late, considering I'm a follower since the beginning, but the reason is a simple one. No Money at the time. The time I was making my first money, it was when they played the RAI in Amsterdam, but I did not get tickets, because it sold out so fast. Then I had to wait till 2000. I went to the Werchter festival that year (did not go to Pinkpop. Don't like the festival). But then tragedy struck at Roskilde, and they were planned to play Werchter the next day. So that didn't happen either. Then a whole lot of waiting was going on, untill..... Arnhem 2006. Since then I try to go to as many shows as I can. This year we are in for a treat. Werchter, Ziggo Dome, and Ed solo in the Carre theatre in Amsterdam (that's one for the old bucket list)

As for collecting, I own quite a bit. I collect a lot of music, but mainly PJ and Foo Fighters/ Dave Grohl stuff. I'm a big Foo Fighters fan also. Other favorite bands include: Editors, Elbow, Tool, Placebo, Mastodon, Starsailor, Amos Lee, Triggerfinger etc, etc, etc...

Well, that's me in a nutshell. Hope to get to know you guys a bit, and share cool things together.

Cheers,

Boy

    Thanks!

    I have a first question. You are supposed to get a free bootleg download code. But I did not get one. In my confirmation e-mail it states I get a free download coupon code "as listed above". But there is no code at all in my e-mail.

    Will it be in my Processed Order e-mail?

    Can Anyone shed some light on this? I already e-mailed the Ten Club, but I figured I tried it here also. Thanks in advance!

    I would email or call the Ten CLub if you don't see seomething within the next few days. I would say by Monday if you haven't received it email them. They are always good at getting back to members and helping out.

    FIRST....Welcome No Code!!!

    That happened to me too when i recently re-upped. I just forwarded the email I received with a little note telling them that the Boot Code was missing. They got right back to me :) You can't reply to the email they sent you so just forward it to <!-- e --><a href="mailto:info@tenclub.net">info@tenclub.net</a><!-- e --> and the good folks here will take care of you :)

    Hope you enjoy all the shows coming your way. I already know you will!

    And now a question of my own.....how in the world was the user name No Code available???? Maybe everyone thought nah there's no way that one isn't used, so i just won't try. Good on you for trying and succeeding ;)

    Peace,
    jo

    Welcome!!! :wave:
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    Hi Boy, welcome to the jamily. I've been a 10C member from 1998 to 2001, back in 2006 and still here, hope until the day I die... I am PJ fan and collector as well, as much as an INXS and Placebo fan and collector... I like the Foos a lot, but not that much, I have few vinyls, no CDs, and that's fine by me... they play in my country in 2 weeks time and I haven't got the tickets yet, my not going to the show is quite likely... but I've been all to PJ and Placebo's shows in Argentina, 3 each... I like Mastodon, my cousin is a fan, and his constantly talking and posting about them, so I gave them a go, I like them, but they are not in my boat... I like Tool and A perfect circle, but not a fan, the others I don't like or don't even know them...

    Since you are a member now, you can go to the goods section and see what xmas singles you can get from there, 2004, 2008 and 2009 are available for purchasing, in fact, you will have to pay for the shipping fees, the records are for free. You can get Longing to belong b/w Can't keep 7" from Eddie's goods, there are a lots of posters available from the 2011 eleven tour, and lots of new tees.

    I hope you have a real good time, make a lot of friends, and gather yourselves together for the forthcoming EV and PJ shows around Europe, all the best, javis
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    Thanks Blue :lol: I love that quote (big Will Ferrel fan)

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Diggin' the whole Tarzan thing by the way. I actually haven't heard that one in a long time. My name is food for fun for all you English/ American out there. But hey, I don't mind. Beats making you guys cry right :D

    Indeed, I took the No Code name back in 2005 or something like that. I used it when I first signed up to buy stuff from the store. Still loving the hell out of that album. One of the best for me. I actually wore out my first vinyl copy, and had to buy another one (back when they were cheap) to replace it. What is up with the vinyl prices by the way. Glad I got my copies when they came out. Bt hey, that's a whole other discussion.

    Again, thanks everyone! Talk to you later.

    Welcome to the board, Boy. I think you'll find this board pretty friendly, though there are as with any board, disagreements between members from time to time (normal). It's better than other boards I've tried to get on where they dont bother to welcome you. Good luck with seeing the band live, I've seen them 10 times now (not enough) and counting. ;)
