I still can't believe I won one of the 20 spots...the best part is everyone is invited!! The venue is near Albany,New York (where Pearl Jam opened their 2006 American Tour)!!! Here it is:

Venue: The venue location is a place called Northern Lights. ( http://www.northernlightslive.com%20). This venue is very popular locally and accommodates well over 1,000 people, with previous entertainers ranging from local to national artists.


A minimum donation of $3.00 will be charged at the door, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to The Crohn's Foundation (http://www.ccfa.org).

The fundraising has been fully approved by The CCFA & The Ten Club.

Hope to see all my fellow PJ Fans come out to the show!!!!

Pearl Jam film screening was a prize, now it's a benefit

TROY - A city man who was honored with the opportunity to host one of 32 nationwide screenings - and only one of 20 parties - of a popular band's concert film has decided to use the event as an opportunity to raise money to fight Crohn's disease.
Anthony Piscatella, 38, responded to a call from the Seattle band Pearl Jam's official fan club for those interested in hosting a screening of the band's newly-released concert film "Immagine in Cornice," which according to the band's Web site chronicles a series of 2006 European tour dates.
Piscatella says he was one of the lucky few chosen on the basis of planning the best screening party, and says he will charge $3 admission to the event and donate the proceeds to a New York City charity, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
Piscatella said the disease has not had a direct impact on his life, but he became involved because of his appreciation for the rock band, whose membership has been directly affected by Crohn's.
"I've been working for the last few weeks on hosting a huge benefit for Cornice's disease because the lead guitar player (Mike McCready) has Crohn's disease," Piscatella said Thursday, a day after he got an e-mail informing him he would be one of the lucky hosts.
According to the organization's Web site, the disease is a chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract that is caused by a malfunction of the immune system - the body sends white blood cells to the intestines, which are damaged by by-products of the infection-fighting cells, causing ulceration and other injury.
The intestines narrow, causing malnutrition in some cases. The cause is unclear, and no cure exists.
In total, he said, 12 theaters across the country and 20 private parties were chosen to screen the film. Piscatella's party will be at Northern Lights in Clifton Park on Tuesday. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the screening will begin an hour later, he said. Inside, retailers who have pledged to donate goods will auction the items off to raise more money for charity.
A member of the band's fan club "for mega, mega years," Piscatella said the contest was only open to members of the club. First exposed to the band by friends in the early 1990s, near the time they first gained national exposure, he's not sure what about the band does it for him but he's traveled as far as Canada to see them in concert.
