I'm honestly so confused, not complaining I know they will come, just interested why there has been a hault at Hartford. I was lucky and got my charlotesville and charloette off live downloads cause they went up there and got taken down quickly. Any1 know what's up?

    I posted a similar question the other day. No one seems to have a simple answer.... got tired of reading threads trying to figure out what Nugs has to do with it. I got no clue.

    It's all there...you just have to read....

    Here's a summary:


    Nugs is the company that manufactures and ships boots for 10C.

    A benefit of working for that company is apparently everyone gets the 2 months after Black Friday OFF.

    This, along with the high demand for boots, caused significant delays in shipping...enter disgruntled Pearl Jam fans.

    To add fuel to the fire, there have been manufacturing errors with some of the boots (2 second gaps between songs, labeling errors etc) mostly affecting the Hartford and Philly night 2 boots.

    Now adding kerosene to the fire...when people contacted nugs or 10C about issues, there have been little to no response.

    Present Day: the people from nugs have returned to work, shipping boots, responding to emails, and replacing defective boots.

    The boot program will seemingly continue once they catch up with back orders and replacements.

    However, there has really been Zero official communication from either company....

    Well, I was being a little sarcastic about the "benefit" part... But they were pretty much MIA in December/January.

    I guess bugs had a psychological breakdown from dealing with PJ fans.

    I think they didn't have an idea what they were signing for. Might have been too big to chew. Especially after 2 boots a week part came in.

    Good thing is they offered digital downloads for the delays in sending the bootlegs.
