Hi there,

I'm just wondering - is there any difference between the LP version of
Lightning Bolt I ordered through the 10 Club and the one that I can buy at
the local music store? The reason I ask this is because while wandering
the streets during my lunch break - I noticed that the record store has
several copies of the Lightning Bolt LP for sale and I'm still without the
copy I had ordered (Order #4xxxxxx) which was shipped back on the 10th.

Thank you for your time
Dave


And the entirety of the Email I got back was....

Fuck you 10 Club!

I bet it was a standard copy and paste reply too. Otherwise, it would've taken too much effort too type it manually.

I order stuff from the US all the time, it usually takes 10-14 days tops (often less).

They make you thirsty.

I haven't, but I'm always tempted to go in there to try to get them to just sell me the bun. I'm a vegetarian, so there's really not much I can have them put on it, but I still want that damn bun. I was tempted to do the same thing at Sonic when they had the pretzel bun for their hot dogs over the summer.

Why don't you just go to the store and buy a package of pretzel buns, cheaper than at a fast food restaurant, so that you can put your own stuff on them any time at home?

I don't think they will do anything. I emailed them back and forth and was actually called a "frequent flipper of PJ merch on eBay"... I actually emailed them back and said thanks for noticing that I had sold 2 pieces of merch bought through 10C in 3 years on eBay. And I did that to help fund me buying the PJ Billboad.

As though that's their business even if he were.

Lament wrote:What's the actual problem with reselling stuff on ebay? I mean, sure, it's a dick move if you buy something and just turn around the next day and sell it for a huge mark-up, but isn't that pretty much just a part of the way consumer culture is set up? If you fucking hate "flippers" so much, then just make enough of things to sell everyone. Otherwise, it's gonna happen, and you really can't stop it.

Sometimes it annoys me what fucking boy scouts the 10C and the Pit are.

I actually saw Pearl Jam when they were called Mookie Blaylock. It was at The OK Hotel in Seattle. That was before they got busted for using the name Mookie Blaylock [Laughs]. I told them they should've just dropped the "Blaylock" part and went with "Mookie". I thought that was a great name for them

I was always brutally honest with those guys about their music, band, and everything. I love them though.

Stone Gossard and I were even in a band together once. The drummer quit though [Laughs].

It annoys me how they go about doing that too. At the point that a human being signs up for a membership, buys tickets, shows up at the box office and picks them up with his or her picture ID, you've done all you can do. If he sold them a few days earlier or stubhub or craigslist or sells them immediately afterwards to someone else, it's not the end of the world, and it's never going to become THAT common of a practice. When I read stories about 10C members reporting back to 10C about tickets they see for sale on craigslist or stubhub or people they see selling tickets in the parking lot, it just makes me roll my eyes. There are always gonna be a few tickets ending up on the secondary market. Take a deep breath and let it go.
