SECTION 6.0 - FAN CLUBS AND MAGAZINES

6.01 Does Pearl Jam have a fan club?
Yes, it is called Ten Club or Vitalogy Health Club. Information is as follows :

For a one-year membership in the Pearl Jam fan club just send $10 check or money order (or $12 [U.S. dollars] if you live outside the U.S.). Please remember to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) if you wish membership confirmation. There are no membership cards. Your current membership expiration date is printed next to your name on the address label of your fan club newsletter.
Address :

Ten / Vitalogy Health Club
P.O. Box 4590
Seattle, WA 98104

To keep up to date on the happenings of Pearl Jam call the Ten / Vitalogy Health Club Hot line at 1 (206) 728-7078 (recorded messages). If you have specific questions about your Ten / VHC membership, or merchandise, or if you have an address change to send in, you can write to the Ten / Vitalogy Health Club at tenclub1@aol.com. You can also visit them on the web at http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/PearlJam/tenclub/tenclub.html

6.02 What do I get for my $10?
You get two newsletters, a yearly holiday single and first shot at concert tickets. And yes, you must renew each year with another $10. Please note that none of these things are guaranteed or promised to any strict time frame. People seem to holding the Ten Club accountable when they don't get "fantastic" seats even though they are fan club members. As such, it is another perk that may be taken away. Remember people that these features are privileges and can be taken away if abused!

6.03 Are there any other Pearl Jam organizations besides the Ten Club?
Yes :-)

The Pearl Jam Rumor Pit is a good source of getting information if you cannot get a hold of the Ten Club. You can e-mail them specific questions, rumors you've heard (appearances, tours, etc) or questions (not personal) about the band to the Pearl Jam Rumor Pit at: DigitalKat@aol.com OR OfTheSea@aol.com They collect the questions and forward them to the Ten Club and then publish a newsletter called The Pearl Jam Rumor Pit that addresses questions that they have received. The Rumor Pit newsletters can be found at their web site at: http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/PearlJam/rumorpit/rumorpit.html
On the Internet, there is a newsgroup called alt.music.pearl-jam, and also several mailing lists. Current mailing lists include Bugs, Long Road, and 5 Against 1. I'm going to defer now to a post from Long Road that Mirella wrote that breaks these lists down very well and has instructions on how to join :

6.04 Are there other places on the Net that I can find Pearl Jam stuff / info?
There are TONS of Web pages and FTP sites out there to explore. See section 7 for more specific sites.
The best place to get started looking for Pearl Jam sites is to search for them. Go to http://www.yahoo.com/ and execute a search for "pearl jam". Also, Yahoo has a site of other search engines so you can find almost every Pearl Jam site on the Internet.

6.05 Why are there multiple addresses to the Ten / Vitalogy Health Club?
With the amount of mail the fan club gets they probably need three Post Office boxes! Also, the various requests sent in by fans, whether it be fan mail, merchandise orders, address changes, etc.. can be processed quickly because they (the fan club) knows what box has what type of letters. Basically, it's so your fan club dues don't sit idle for two weeks while they read fan mail.

6.06 What is the difference between the Ten Club and the Vitalogy Health Club?
Nothing; it's the same club. Just the name has been changed.

6.07 Is there a phone number, or hot line, for the Ten / Vitalogy Health Club?
They have a number with recorded messages giving information on memberships, albums, tours, happenings, etc... It is NOT a toll free call (unless you live in the Seattle, WA area code). The number is 1 (206) 728-7078.
