Title: Fan Club?
Post by: sweatboard on Feb 04, 2005, 06:08 PM
Who thinks it would be good if they started one?  Do you have any ideas for it.

I was thinking about it because I just got my Pearl Jam newsletter, and Christmas single.  The Christmas single is sometimes jokeingly called the Easter single because they never get it out on time.  Still, it's a vinyl single with a couple unreleased songs or rare live versions that they send out to the fan club members for free each year.  Fan Club Members also get to buy concert tickets first, get to buy merchandise only offered to fan club members (LP's, Official Bootlegs, Live DVD's) etc.

Anyway I wish MMJ would start something similar

The membership came with a t-shirt (the reason I joined), some stickers, profiles of the members, a signed photo of the members, and a membership card.  We were also supposed to get 4 newsletters a year.

I think it's been about 3 years since I joined.  Might not even be around anymore.  Does anyone else remember anything about it?

here is the signed photo they sent.

Hey Riny, Were you a Jacket Junkie?  If so do you know if it's still around and how we can sign up?  If not, mabey you can put in a word with the band that we would like them to strike it back up.  Thanks,

Brian

God Man,We really do need a fan club.Especially now that there fanbase is rising after ISM.I would love the chance to join the fanclub and i guess the best way to get it going would to be to email the guys and just beg baby!!

A fan club would be awesome.  I think that there's plenty of folks who are very enthusiastic about all things MMJ and would make a great fan club.  The sheer volume of postings here and the love generated by the fans here alone is awe inspiring.  A larger community of folks who aren't online as we are would also make a fine addition to the fan club as well.  

Let me float a few ballons.  I have some ideas.  :)
