Please keep checking this first post as it will be updated with the latest info!

Should we add the festivals & Euro shows here too? I haven't heard of anyone doing anything for any of them.

If someone is interested in taking on any of the CA shows, Jessica from Guitars in the Classroom has asked if we would keep her organization in mind as a beneficiary. They are partnered with Daisy Rock Guitars and are a sister non-profit to the Girls Rock Camp program sponsored by NAMM.

Well... San Diego. Though I think the name of the bar has changed since 2006 (wasn't it Shamrock's?). I don't remember the UCSD area that well... closer to the venue, the better....

As far as a beneficiary, Guitars in the Classroom is based from the area.

.... and btw, if I come to Chi, I'm takin charge

Great Dave - got it up and will be getting to the emails a little later today!

mindi

Just want to throw this out there, if anyone is looking for a beneficiary you could do TTTS, twin to twin transfusion syndrome. We lost one of our 3 year old twins this past New Years Eve due to complications from TTTS.
If anyone is interested I can get you all the contact information.

ECM

San Diego...

update it.. please and ty...

well... problem with those is that the most interested people are queuing up since they're GA.
So on the day parties are difficult.

Day (well night) before can be an option. there are some meet-ups already planned (AIC gig in Amsterdam the night before PJ, something informal so far the night before Berlin and a pub meet in Manchester the night before), but they wouldn't quite be in the same vein as the US pre-parties though if you want to send (via someone that is coming from the US maybe?) some merchandise, then we should be able to do something. I know lots of Euros are interested in Wishlist merchandise but the cost of shipping is putting them off ordering directly... we'd need the smaller sizes too

I'll be happy to help in LA with whatever comes up, but since I'm not local, can't organise. (Seattle and SD I can't, sightseeing is the priority ).
I'll see what I can bring too.. got a few posters leftover from last year and might pick up some in Europe maybe, depending how it goes.
