Well dear pearl jam fans & friends, I realize that this is a selfish thread but I figured it would be my last pearl jam thread anyways, so what the hell. I've decided to not renew my ten club membership. It's been hard to admit the steady decline of interest i've had for this band over the last few years, but now i've come to face the reality of the situation: I haven't really enjoyed a pearl jam record since yield, and although I really loved the majority of the shows i attended, the last few have not felt the same. It's hard to describe, but i'm sure most of you know how it feels to fall out of love for a band. It's not to say that 5 years down the line I won't get interested again and see a show, but I just haven't given a damn about this band for so long, and that says something...because for the longest time I cared a great deal for them.

I wanted to post this in the trading forum, because this is the place were i found and became acquainted with the best pearl jam fans around. Thank you SO MUCH for all your generosity, it will certainly not be forgotten. There are so many people who have been great to me, but i want to say a special thanks to John, who got me started I know I know...dramatic stuff. But I'm mainly in the sports forum now, and i just wanted to say thanks gain for everything!

Man it feels weird not to care about renewing your 10C membership, I hope it doesn't happen to you guys, because It really is a sad day for me

I used to know a guy that looked like you. He used to come hang out and bullshit with all of us without it being about the trading. But that guy hasnt been around in forever.

Just cuz you have hate for Boom or Mike envy or whatever, doesnt give you a pass not to buzz in and say whats up.

too true...i don't even recognize anyone on here anymore sorry

Hows your music coming along these days anyways? You havent sent me any samples in over a year...Last I heard you were in a Pink Floyd vein..

to be completely honest...i haven't played in 2 months But when i start writing again, i'm sure it will sound quite different

I'm in a panda bear/department of eagles/fleet foxes vein at the moment. You?

Take care...keep in touch...and say hey to varis for me, if you see him.

if that's about the writing thing...don't worry Angi, I will pick it up again, promise

maybe the next album will bring ya back....?

enjoy your sports forum

Keep in touch man! Next time you're in Halifax let me know!

I guess that means I won't renew my quote now either. Good luck.

so nice to hear from all the good people on here I'll be still be around these parts, no worries Although I think i've reverted to being a trading virgin. It's been so long that i don't remember how it feels like I'll just stick to chatting with Damian and co., because i've lost my trading swagger.

Hey D, i got a few friends requests from you...are you still on there or are you done with facebook for good?

Good Luck in your journies.

I'm on there! The account is set to private.

I remember that guy - bit of a dick if I recall.

I have a sneaking suspiscion he's getting his buzz back on.

And take it easy Mr Malkmus. Peace.

Call off the search party

And take it easy Mr Malkmus.

Nice to see you come out of hiding, John will be a happy camper.
