The Seventh Sense
In an eerie whisper, "We see rockin' people..." They're partying in the venue parking lots, dancing in the Ten Club will-call line, and jammin' out at the shows. What shows? The Gorge show, the Missoula benefit, the Canadian tour, opening for the Rolling Stones in Pittsburgh, the shows in Atlantic City at the Borgata and the Philly show are all just around the corner. So while we all eagerly await the new studio album news and the tour news that will follow (bootleg news is almost ready!), we're passing along some wee reminders along with a few answers to some questions we've been receiving.
 
Other Album News...

~Q&A~Q&A~Q&A~Q&A~
 
Q: Who will be the opening band in Missoula?
    A: The Briefs.
 
Q: What will I need to pick up my Ten Club tickets at the will-call window for a Canadian show? My photo ID and membership number?
    A: You definitely need your photo ID. It would also help to have your member number, but it’s not required.  Remember you can find your member number in your profile at tenclub.net. We’ve pulled all of the tickets and put them in envelopes with each member’s name on it, based on seniority.
 
Q: Who is designing the tour posters for the upcoming shows?
    A: Brad Klausen and Amesbros.
 
Q: Rumor has it Brad Klausen will be designing 2 posters for the Canadian tour.  Which shows?
    A: Brad will be doing posters for Ottawa, Hamilton and the Gorge.  He’ll also be designing one for either Philly or the Borgata.
 
Q: Since there will be such a high demand for posters on this mini-tour will there be more available at the show? ...and will they also be sold on pearljam.com?
    A: There will be a few more at the shows and a very limited number on the website.
 
Q: Okay, I've been hearing all of this buzz about Vegoose, which is a Halloween concert in Vegas.  There is a lot of speculation about who is going to be performing and the blogs keep mentioning PJ. Will Pearl Jam be performing at that show?
   A: Not planning on it at this point.
 
Q: I was wondering if there were any plans to release Mad Season's "Live at The Moore" on DVD at all (or any other Mad Season related stuff for that matter). I had the VHS back in the day, but it got swiped.  Just curious...
  A: We’re working on that as we speak.  We hope to make something happen with that.
 
Q: After all these years of waiting...does that song "The Girl From Ipanema" on pearljam.com mean something?
  A: We love that song.
 
Q: Will Pearl Jam be doing shows in South America?
    A: We're working on it.
 
Q: If there are South American shows, will any int'l 10c members be able to purchase 10c tix for the shows?
    A: Yes. We’re working on the exact policy.
