This is a long shot but you just never know until you throw it out there. Who knows, maybe one of you knows someone who knows someone who is Eddie Vedder’s uncle…

Dear Pearl Jam,
I am certain you get so many letters from long-time adorers and new-found fanatics. Your music does that to people. What an awesome accomplishment.
My name is Nici Cline and I live in Missoula with my husband and two daughters. We love Pearl Jam. A whole lot. Best concerts I’ve ever seen in my life. The Ten cassette tape was given to me in 1990, for my 12th birthday, and it pushed me in a way music hadn’t previously. Thank you for that.
We are also Jon Tester fans! And appreciate Pearl Jam’s efforts in gaining support for him.
My sister-in-law, brother-in-law and niece drove into town from Portland, Oregon for tomorrow’s concert. They got their tickets early (Joe is a devout tenclub member) and we all planned to go together but they sold out in moments, right before our eyes. We’ve been on the hunt for *months* and just can’t afford the going ticket prices. Boo. So, why am I emailing? Because I have an offer for you.
For tickets to tomorrow’s show: I will give the entire Pearl Jam band and their families Montana hoodies that I made with my own Montana-loving, Pearl Jam-loving, Tester-loving hands. I will bake you all a pie every month for a year. My husband and I will enjoy the hell out of tomorrow night’s show. Thanks for your consideration.
Warmly,
Nici
I would like this to be a giveaway. I want a free pie every month for a year AND hoodies. I saw Eddie (oh yeah, first name basis) at a Seattle Starbucks once. There was a lot of awkward heavy breathing on my part.
Just when I think I can’t think you’re cooler.
Oh, Nici. I just adore you. I really hope something miraculous works out tonight, both so you can enjoy the show with your family and so I can enjoy the best story ever.
This is over the top! I see a concert in your near future! xoxo
ps…..I also wrote them in you behalf…..here’s what I said….You make me smile!
Dear Pearl Jam, I am the one who gave her the 10 cassette case 20+ Years ago, she is STILL YOUR #1 FAN!…..the hoodies are so awesome and the pies over the top…………..Please make it happen!

You must join in a contest initial of the greatest blogs on the internet. I will recommend this internet website!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Great blog!
You…are…my…hero!!! I cant believe something like this exists on the internet! Its so true, so honest, and more than that you dont sound like an idiot! Finally, someone who knows how to talk about a subject without sounding like a kid who didnt get that bike he wanted for Christmas.
