You all work so damn hard planning these every tour. I am amazed at how you all pull it off in so many places with so many items and things going on....all on top of real life (yeah Pearl jam is a way of life) but you know what I mean. There are so many people to list I'll just leave it as ALL OF YOU WHO HELP, volunteer, donate, the establishments who host, kat/sea for helping sticky our stuff, the band, the fans, the staff who put up with a total Pearl Jam nerd fest....


So:

THANK YOU!

I am truly honored to be a part of the coolest community on the net

luvisatower

my name is on your list, like twice
i'm so freaking excited!!!

demetrios

Getting goosebump's! Just a few more day's away till Toronto!
Then hopefully 4 night's volunteering in Philly!

PJ Colombian

Yes indeed... THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH..looking forward to the Chicago parties and all the Jamheads participating..

MUCHAS GRACIAS in advance..

luvisatower

what a lovely thing to say h2i!

we who do volunteer, organize, etc, etc couldn't do ANY of it without the fans that donate items, buy raffle tickets, attend our bar bashes,soirees and parking lot parites, and spread the word about the things we do.

somewhere there's a running total of how much Pearl Jam fans have raised to support the various causes and beneficiaries of the pre-party/fundraisers. (PAGING Evil Closet Monkey!!!!) I don't know what it is of the top of my head but I do know that it is A LOT!

and for that, we thank YOU, the amazing fans of the best band on earth!

Tuolumne Mama

Thanks to everyone who is donating their time to organize these events in each of the cities and to everyone giving their time and 'treasures' for these wonderful charities. They are always fun and have great items you can't find anywhere else. They are also a great place to meet many of the people you post with and sit next to year after year - always nice to put a name with a face. A very special thanks to Foxy Mop for always getting us started in the right direction and to her awesome touring group.

I totally cleaned out my closets for EV in 2008. Not very good planning on my part.

I'll be there to raffle, support and consume.

I wonder if one of the restaurants at Universal City Walk (like B.B. Kings) can host or the LA shows.

OK people...I'm starting my volunteering efforts with my time and NO service fees!! For those who don't know, I'm a Travel Agent in LA. I'm working on group and individual hotels for Philly and LA...please let me know if you are interested in ANY hotel help. As soon as I get some pricing, I'll post, so we can see if there are enough people interested. LA is going to be trickier, since the shows are so far apart, so I'll probably look at 2 groups (Sept 29-Oct 2 and Oct 5-8 ish)

PM or email me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:traveljanet@gmail.com">traveljanet@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->

I will need the following info, if possible:
-how many people
-how many beds
-how many nights

Is anyone working on a pre-party for San Francisco?
I live in Seattle- but will be heading down on the 25th and would love to put something together- even though it is just a few weeks away.
Help?
Ideas?
