you Rock P&E!! Thank you for thinking of the troops by gathering collections of US Troop supplies. This will make the moms and dads of the Yellow Ribbon Club very happy as some of them will be joining us throughout the events.
Please thank your friend for the donation to the Gift of Life as well...

Thanks for the props folks. Dave has worked his tukas off getting this thing organized and the best it could possibly be. I feel priveleged to be part of this group who gives so selflessly of themselves. I can't wait to meet so many of you and hope you all enjoy the pre-parties and incredible shows that we'll all remember for years to come.

Daves like that guy who takes the ball and runs with it...and keeps running...and then when you look for the ball later...its gone..:) Yes a lot of work has gone into making this a huge success..everyone deserves a huge pat on the back

the energizer bunny has nothin on this guy. just wish that ball was food and then i would definitely run off with it....but let's not start pattin anything yet (that's what she said?) and see what we wind up raising and how the pre parties themselves go!

Mama and Mrs Smiley put me back in good spirits- here it is: generously and kindly donated by Mr Tom Tomorrow:

2 Chicago II Posters signed by cartoonist/artist and "designer of "Backspacer" artwork and album cover: Tom Tomorrow (BUT NOT NUMBERED)

The online pictures dont do this poster justice as I have them now in front of me and they are very pleasing to the eye and more beautiful than I imagined I thought they would be as I only saw them on the internet before now. How neat and interesting it is to have a signed piece from the artist that is a part of the "Backspacer" story and from a chapter in the Pearl Jam story in general.

For those who don't have luck getting one of his signed and numbered posters during his sale this Wednesday, we will have 1 NOT numbered but signed poster for 10/30 and 1 NOT numbered but signed poster for 10/31. I just want to be clear on these auction items that they are signed but NOT numbered.

Donated by Tom Tomorrow himself? How cool! Nice work, Dave!!!

whew! I was a bit hesitant not knowing if these items would be popular among a Pearl Jam fanbase even with PJ's ties to the Ramones. From what I was told, Ramones fans freak out for this stuff. Most items I have are raffle prizes but one is up for auction (it sells for over $150). Maybe you can use some Jedi Mind Tricks on me to make a specific raffle item an auction item for a day you are there....or if you dont win anything via raffle, maybe you can trade with the winner...good luck and see you there!

I'm anxiously awaiting these Philly shows... :shock:

another cool item just came in:

Obtained in person at training camp and generously donated by "Paul D":

Youth size Philadelphia Eagles Donovan McNabb replica jersey autographed by #5 himself Donovan McNabb as well as a #82 who is no longer with the team. I haven't picked which of the 4 parties I will do this with, but this item will go to the person who buys the most raffle tickets in 1 entire purchase between 3 and 5 PM. Incentive for buying raffle tix just got a little better if you are an Eagles fan! This would make a great gift if you got a kid who loves #5

you guys are doing an awesome job, I can't wait to see it all come together

just got this email from my friend, I thought I'd share it, it made me laugh

I am obsessed with Eddie from PJ
