Goddamn I would have put my copy in the mail along with the GR box yesterday, so you can just send it back to me when you are done.

No worries man. Thanks though. I have a friend who has a copy, so I'll just get it from him.

We are honored to be working with Pearl Jam to deliver Ten as it is re-issued.”

And yet still as amazing as the first time I heard it.

**Videodrone** · 23 Jan 2009, 07:15 PM

is Ten going to be 1600 pts?

**jyoung** · 23 Jan 2009, 07:23 PM

No mention of pricing, yet.

If anyone wants to play tonight I'll be around. Don't have my drum kit with me at the moment, though, so I can only fill in on guitars or vocals.
