I have no idea how much was raised. Whenever I (or someone else) gets numbers, we'll post it. I'd like to know who brought in that huge-ass donation of somewhere around 30 "bathroom items." I was floored. I brought in five items (ten tickets) and won a Philly Boot! (...from 2000, but who cares? hahaha)

Another winning ticket was literally one off of mine. If I had one more ticket, that would have been it. A second winning ticket was literally TEN off mine.. d'oh.

Like I said, i'm sure someone will post numbers in due time. I'm sure it's hard since the Wishlist people had to pack everything up this morning and haul ass backwards to Indy. (They drove from Chicago to Columbus in the very wee hours of Thursday morning.)

that was me. It was 26 to be exact. Krogers had a 10 for 10 sale!! Having been in the postion that org helps , it seemed right for me. Plus I felt bad I didn't have anything to donate for the raffle. So I did what I was able to.

Gave 13 of the tix to my guest and she won the Indy poster!!! She had a blast. 1st Pj show and wins a poster to boot? Fuck yeah!!!

My kids each brought ~15 bathroom items too...toothbrushes, toothpaste & soap. Each was fortunate enough to win a prize too - chocolate basket & that kickass '06 Cincy poster...what a great souvenir for a first-time Pearl Jam concert-goer.

Great party Peter - thanks for all your hard work!

This may be a longshot, but I was in Section 101 with a buddy. Because we were coming from Atlanta, we simply printed two ticketmaster paper tickets. Does anyone have a couple of actual ticket stubs from 101 or 102 that they would part with. Also, does anyone happen to have any good pictures from that area? Only have a camera phone and Ed is never still enough for it to focus. Please PM me with either. Thanks.

I stand corrected !! I was one of a FEW that brought a sizeable donation. I must say how cool it is that you have encouraged your kids to be charitable. Very nice!!

as usual, I didn't win shit in the raffle!

thanks for putting this on....I had a great time. Probably drank too much, but it in no way hindered my concert experience . By the time my head hit the pillow Thursday night, I had had ONE hour of sleep in the previous FORTY. :shock:

bummed that I didn't meet 81 and/or mickeyrat. :wtf:

I bought 8 tickets. My buddy didn't buy any. The "string" of 8 after mine had 3 winners in it.

I was easy to find!!! I was the one wearing a pearl jam shirt!!!

Really , had you looked for the guy drinking water on the patio with the reissue stickman. It'd been a done deal.

06 Cinci. Great poster and the first time Brian's case was mentioned. *feels all warm inside.*



And here is a video from the pre-party!
http://vimeo.com/11593408


FYI,
23 seconds, you can see Lori in the middle (she runs the findbrianshaffer.com website,) and her son. The other lady in light blue on the right of the image is someone else from CrimeStoppers.

37 seconds in, the guy in red is the husband of Lori, the woman who runs findbrianshaffer.com

1:07, you can see Kevin Miles, the president of the local CrimeStoppers. He's mentioning Brian buying tickets for the 06 Cinci show.

Well, what do ya know?

I opened up my raffle winnings (Philly 2000 boot), and it was really the Milan 2000 boot.

I won the imagine in cornice DVD, and at the end won the travel kit. I didn't feel like carrying the travel kit to the show (it was quite big) so I traded it for a sticker and let someone else win the travel kit.

Thanks to all who were there and to all the great people I met.

I was there for FOUR hours (drinking) and I had a name tag (with avatar pic). It's your loss.

no shit...

i didn't get there until a little after 6pm. guess i should have left the house earlier. traffic on I65 in indiana killed my time when i hit 8 miles of backed up traffic for pot hole repairs. construction in IL and IN cost me an hour of drive time.

I think I stumbled out at about 6:30.

I didn't see anyone who looked like your avatar.

While it was good service early on, I agree that it sucked as the day went on. I would tell them that Kevin Miles (Crime Stoppers President) needed the microphone turned on. It would seem like 15 minutes before it actually happened.
