    This event will be fun! I am hoping to get there as early as possible...I couldn't request the day off from work, so I am probably working, I will get there when I get there! Or...maybe I will call in sick! ;)

    So first, I have a wonderful thing to donate and I will tell you about it later..

    Second, doesn't Harper's Ferry close at midnight? You may need to plan an after party..

  • Yeah funnygirl, I have a feeling u'll be coming down with the swine flu in exactly one month! ;)

    CantKeep / Crazy Breed... yes, we booked THAT hotel the other day, for April 10-11. I figured it couldn't hurt, cause u can cancel up until that same day, & there's no deposit required. We booked a 2-room suite, anticipating numerous crashers on our floor, & I'm sure we'll find ppl to use the pull-out couch. (I'm not actually sure if the regular rooms have pull-out sofas or not, but I know the suites do.) I've told u guys on here about this place, & the helpers on FB, but I didn't wanna announce it on the FB event page until at least u core ppl have booked ur rooms (if u want to). Oh, they offer a AAA discount, so don't forget to look for that when u book. And note: there IS a nightly parking fee ($24 I think), so the more ppl u travel with, the more to split the cost. When u mapquest the directions from there to the venue, it's a 3-min straight shot drive, looks quick & simple.

    Midnight?! R u fucking serious?! That better not be true!

    Oh Erik, I heard about that Full Tilt opening act on Saturday, but Jay didn't want me to say anything to u. So I'm glad someone else brought it up. I believe they're playing 8-9pm... in my opinion, we DEF don't need an opener, but I'm assuming this is out of our hands? :?

    I was there for a show on a Saturday and they closed at 12. I hope I am wrong.

    wow really??

    was it dead? maybe they just figured they would cut their losses?


    I used to bounce at the Kells and their crowd would be in the street at the same time... but it was also YEARS ago

    Place was sold out and they bounced us out. Maybe cause it was an all ages show...

  • in light of the tour announcement, i will not be getting a room to save $ (i plan on going to the MSG shows)....but i will be more than happy to pre-party wherever we plan on meeting. :mrgreen:

    I know! I wasn't calling him "Jen," I was just tryin' to kill 2 birds with one stone.
    Guess I shoulda posted 2 separate messages... :roll:

    How do we bounce the opener? Is that what u were talking about with getting more FB RSVP's?

    if we can guarantee so many people to show up they would agree to ditch them....but i don't know if we can accurately do that....i mean how many people SAY they will go and don't....or those who don't say but do go!

    Why, will Backseat Lover play a longer set that way? Have they agreed to that already?

    I am still 100% thinking the same thing, but I did book because I can always cancell -
    Go ahead and tell HarrpersFerry that we got the numbers, you know that we will and besides THIS IS A PEARL JAM FAN event they gotta appreciate that - not to mention the amount of cash all of us are going to spend on booze at that joint - I know you got it all under control but do they understand BSL is willing to play more? - regardless it will still be a blast

    yup...and not only that but i have a local comedian who is going to emcee the event for me and if we have extra time i think he would do a little stand up for us as well.

    it's definitely a good way to warm up for the real thing in May....these Backseat Lover dudes are pretty damn good if i do say so myself.

    they get the Crazy Breed stamp of approval!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    Hey Erik, you better call Jay and tell him to stock up on the throat losengers and cough drops. If he's gonna play that long he's going to have to be in tip top condition. But if he sings that fuckin good under the weather like he did last Sat night, I guess we are all in for a killer show on the 10th.
