    Ugh! I like the idea of a PJ calendar but I don't really want to see hot PJ ladies. That just seems so...typical. If you want to raise money then feature ALL fans. Or PJ fans with cats...or better yet with dogs :)
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    Because of the fans. The band is a creative force, takes care of us in every way, donates money from every ticket sold and does many other philanthropic endeavors. Let them do it! If you feel good donating, just donate. But this nonsense about calendars and fighting over who gets to beg the band to do a show they probably aren't excited to do is disappointing. A lot of attention seeking has gone on here recently.

    I think it's a horrible idea. Please don't do it.

    In terms of fundraising, it seems like there's always demand for the Team McCready shirts, you guys should keep making those. New ideas are always nice, but if something's working, just keep doing it.

    Also, how about Christmas sweaters? QOTSA did one last year and the Foo Fighters are doing it this year. Or socks? Everyone loves socks. And koozies.

    i think it's a bad idea too...tacky and objectifying and all that for sure...
    How about a run of shirts for each of the guys...off the top of my head (better ideas will abound) i am thinking shirts with themes built on phrases like "Team McCready"(sport/jersey style) "The Stone Zone"(tiedye or trippy somehow) "Ament's Army"(greyscale cammo) "Matt effin Cameron"(bitchin drumset logo) "VedderMan" and "Boom Town"

    It isn't in the spirit of the band to objectify women but it IS in their spirit to treat each other with respect. It's always fun trashing good intentioned people anonymously.

    Just my two cents but objectifying women seems like the exact opposite kind of thing this band represents.

    Your hearts are in the right place but I think there are better and more noble ways to support this charity (or any charity).

    i'd agree a hot-lady calendar is not a way to go; it is just too boorish, and it is not something I would support. What might be cool is to do a fan art calendar, or something.

    Fan art like this ..... ?

    Ha! I made that Eddie collage! :D I'd totally get a calendar with this. Maybe i'll make one myself.
    :))
    I am also still using calendars. I like seeing everything in front of me and adding or erasing stuff without having to turn on a computer or check on a phone screen.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    I still keep a calendar too! I use my phone too, but when at home I rely on a physical calendar.

    Sounds creepy...I've seen the comments made about some female PJ fans. I like a pets or art theme better. Or how about a file pack of PJ themed computer wallpaper-artwork, pets, etc.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    What about an art calendar where the art is inspired by a song or album?
