    Hey man! - impressive collection - how did you get all the boots from 2003? - you buy in bulk? - were they available in the States or Canada (where do you live?), cos in Australia we could only buy 5 or six in stores!

    Do you have EVERY boot? ('00, '03, '05, '06)?

    Thanks mate... when I'm over there I may have to meet up with you, get you really drunk and take a few posters - 81 - you wouldn't notice!!!

    Hahaha! - enjoy mate.. sounds like you have an amazing wife!

    All the 00 and 03 boots were available through 10C. You should have been able to buy them as well. I am in WA State about 275 miles east of Seattle in Spokane.

    Pretty sure I have everything from 00 to current, although they are not all official releases. The 07 stuff are all audience recordings.

    My wife is def an amazing girl. Has NEVER said a word in the 15 years we have been together. She knew it was my thing when we met. I am sure she figured it would fade....Obviously i didnt...;) If you are ever in the states, look me up, I dont drink, but 'll show you around the place! :)

    yes... what business is it of yours how he spends his money... theyre valuable art prints and more importantly great looking wall decor... theres no reason he shouldnt proudly display and protect them if he has the money to do so

    cant wait to see the pics! (though I'd reconsider the purple wall first :D)

    Well I kinda admire him for it, idiotic is a work reserved for fuckwits like George Bush and gordon fat miserable useless scottish twat Brown, here we have a chap who has spent some time collecting his posters, has had them framed and is putting them on his walls, is it because he has 81 that makes it idiotic? or is someone who has 5 idiotic too??

    Perhaps all museums are idiotic on this basis.....

    Having a thing is not so pleasing as wanting it, it may not be logical but it is sometimes very true.

    I guess it works for you..I hope you got a discount, though.
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    This is absurd, how can having 81 posters not be as good as wanting 81 posters?? Your theory may be true in some walks of life but these are physical posters, all of which he already has and hes putting a frame around them and hanging them in a place he has reserved for them.. i think he knows how it'll turn out and Sure he'll be delighted by the results.

    I did get a discount on bulk framing, and I am fairly sure the posters cost me LESS than the framing! DAMN, I am EXCITED!!

    That is the beauty of it...No, you are not the only one. I enjoy it(them) and that is all that matters. There will always be SOMEONE who will think I am out of my mind for doing it. Just like having them mounted, I pretty much ruined their monetary value when I did that, right? Am I worried about resale? NOPE?? Have they all been handled with kid gloves...NOPE... It has never been about their worth, what people think about how or why I would do it. Pearl Jam is my thing, and whether I have 0, 5 or 100 posters or other collectibles I blow my money on, it is all about ME, and while I know people will have their opinions whether good, bad, or indifferent, they are just opinions and I couldnt really give a toss what other people think of me or my obsession in the grand scheme for things. :D

    I didnt make it. These were a couple of tables that a friend of mine had a few years back. He decided to get rid of them. I needed some furniture for my shop, so I took them. When I got them back home, I had the Vitalogy promo lying there, so I put it on top to get it off the ground. Once I realized they were the perfect size, I decided to use them for either side of the couch. So I sought out another promo and had another pc of glass cut to put over the top for protection.

    Not true in this case my friend. I knew what I was doing the whole time. If not for this "shop", we would not have bought this house. The house is nice, but the shop closed the deal. It worked two fold. Not only did it house everything I have, but it got it out of the "main" house so no one else had to deal with my craziness..;) I had visions of grandure long ago with my PJ collection. I knew I wanted and would enjoy something like this many years prior. I collected and collected and collected and just put it in boxes and kept it out of the way. I knew one day I would have "space" to put it all up, and will enjoy it for many many years to come. I was telling my wife last night, that in 30-40 years or whatever it may be when I die, I dont want here to sell anything(Unless of course she needed the $$), but I want her to set fire to the place, because by that time, I will be the only one who would have cared anyhow! ;)

    REALLY??? I actually thought that the purple would make the colors on the posters really POP! You think something else would look better? The other 3 are "STONE"wall gray. You cant tell from the pictures, but I also painted the window trim purple. It actually looks better in person. What other color would you suggest?? I am ALWAYS open to any suggestions or criticism with this place.

    Good man...

    When I think about how much $$ I have spent (wasted?) on booze over the years...

    No wonder you have the cash to do something like this...

    Great collection mate
