    Yay, I think i'm FINALLY getting all these names straight! Lori, Lisa, Laura...wow.. anyone else have a name that starts with an "L?"

    And it's real easy...stop at a local grocery store or drug store and buy a few bathroom-related items (toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper, etc.) and get TWO free raffle tickets PER item.

    I just sent an email, so hopefully Crime Stoppers can come through with a few "local" things, whatever they might be.

    (I know you got my email, but i'm just re-posting it here to get people hyped up.)

    I cannot emphasize how bad people really need the donated items that are not covered on Food Stamps... please do donate those he mentioned in his original post! :)

    Oh, please please please post a lot of pictures...especially with CrimeStoppers if they plan on showing up.

    Have fun, peeps!!!

    And remember...instead of getting just ONE raffle ticket, you will get TWO raffle tickets per every "bathroom" item donated. If you really needed a reason, now you got one!

    maybe give it a day? So they can update their info? Or perhaps email 10C? Does seem odd though. I live here and laughed when I got the email. Really? I live 15-20 minutes away? WTF!!!! :lol:

    Indeed. Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw were at Nationwide tonight and I could see Nationwide's light tower from my front porch.

    Yet, I still got the email. Oh well.

    On the map, it looks like you can walk right across Convention Center Drive, but you really can't....there's train tracks, a huge fence, and a garage and all sorts of other obstacles. Look on the map and find School Street. Go to the right (east) of that and look between the two buildings. Walk between them, going south. There are stairs going down, but on your right, there will be an elevator for wheelchairs, etc. Pass O'Shaugnessy's, Buca, and Frog Bear & Wild Boar.

    so.....this is between School Street and Front street? Not down School Street?

    11 days to go!! Woo-hoo! :mrgreen:

    Are you keeping a list of raffle items?

    Do not walk down School street. To get to the venue, walk east, PAST School Street. Just before you'd cross Front Street, look to the right. Go between the two buildings you see in the distance. There is a ramp to the left of the stairs.

    Eventually, you'll make your way to a bridge. Walk across the bridge. At the other end, there are stairs. Go down the stairs, or use the elevator on the right. (It's on the left in the satellite view.)
    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source= ... 01982&z=19

    Continue walking in a straight line, past the buildings.

    Eventually, everything opens up, and you'll see the arena doors on the right.


    Here's where things get a bit tricky. There is a ticket window where the building "cuts in", but normally, the Will Call is at the bottom of Nationwide Blvd. It's a bit of a hill, so follow the arena around, and down the hill of Nationwide Blvd.



    Hopefully, if a bunch of leave about 6:30, we can all walk as a group in order to simplify things.

    VIew from bottom of Nationwide Blvd hill. The normal will call window is on the left, kind of in the back. There's usually a bunch of people there (and at the other doors) that you can ask for directions.

    So can we get a list going of donations for the auction/raffle? Anyone bringing anything? I've sent an email to Wishlist to see what they're getting from the band.

    *crosses fingers for autographed philly boot on vinyl*
    *realizes that won't work*
    *crosses legs for autographed Ten Super Deluxe or maybe the 2009 annual single*
