Shaking the dust off of my posting acitivty here....

I am 99% sure i will be there for Bridge so i can certainly assist with pre-party activity on Sat (and Sun if we feel inclined). I can call in to The Sports Page bar where we held our last Fund raising gig in 2006 if you would like. Laura, drop me a Pm and let's chat (and catch up).

True story....it's Hawaii 2006 and I meet Eddie V on the beach a couple of days before the U2 show. I have a camera around my neck, but never take it off. instead, I am in awe that i am talking to the man. In the midst of that brief conversation i mention that i am (was) a part of the Wishlist foundation and we raised some good money earlier that week and also for Bridge.

He turned to his lady friend (Fiance') and then asked if that was us at that sports bar near the venue?

I was like...uhhh, yeah?! Why?!

He said, "We were going to stop by to thank you cuz we were right there but we were told to arrive at a certain time and it would throw us off."

"WHHHAAAAA???" I thought in amazement.

He said, "what you guys do is amazing and we thought it would be fun to stop by. Thank you for your efforts!"

Now, I am not saying that having it at the same place may make for an Eddie visit, i AM saying the Wishlist RAWKS it and i will be there to lend my support if at all possible.

Cheers!

A bump and a smile, cause that story is awesome Chris, definitely on board for the Sports Page for both Sat & Sunday. Do you still have my #? I think I lost yours. Let's chat it up!!

Should I do an RSVP list?

I'm about 90% sure I'll be making the trek out to Cali for my third Bridge School Benefit. Just need to iron out the details.

And for those who inquired, it's an awesome event and just an all around great experience, regardless of the line up.

Bumpity bump bump....

I am ready to get myself lawn tickets for both nights and kick them off with some Wishlist parties!!!!

Laura, I have a call into the Sports Page and will let you know all of the info (contact, details, etc) as soon as I hear back from them.

I am looking forward to chilling with my friends for a kickass time!

Cheers!

...I'm sure all the psychos with their ears pressed up against the Shoreline (so to speak) hoping to catch soundcheck that afternoon would need a drink after dodging security too...

I will see everyone on the lawn. Bring a jacket, it gets a little chilly at night. And bring some money, the 24oz JUMBO Coronas go down like water, but they are a little expensive. hehehe

Buy your souveniers on day 1, the minute you walk into the venue, because all the good shit will be gone by Sunday.

Thats all I got for ya......

4th trip to The Bridge shows for me. You 1st timers are gonna love it. Just hope you realize this isnt a "rock concert", so to speak. But you will find out for yourselves.

And as far as sitting on the lawn goes? I wouldnt want to sit anywhere else.

Here is my take on seats vs. the lawn....Again, this is just my take....After taking 3 trips to the Bridge shows since 2003....


Once you get there and realize this isnt a "rock concert"...Its an event..An event geared towards those children sitting on the stage, you realize that you DONT belong in those seats. At least that how I felt when I had seats. Those seats are for the friends and families of those children. Those seats are for the friends and families of Neil and Peggy Young. Those seats are for the friends and families of the artists performing. Those seats are for the people who donate year round to the Bridge School. Those seats are for the locals.

Those seats ARE NOT FOR ME.

Put me on the lawn, with my friends, and I am happy to be there.

Going for the lawn too... see you up there my friend....

So Speedy, If I make this we can make good on our bet right?

LAWN LAWN LAWN is where its at. And Speedy is right about the beer. shit is expensive.

Where exxxactly is this pre party? Is there a pre-pre party on friday at VEDHEAD27's place?

Foxy Mop

Yay! Speedy!

I'm lawn for one day definitely at least... how muddy does it get if it's rainy out?

Sen... Friday night will probably be a San Fran party and the Sat/Sun pre-post parties will probably be at the Sports Page like Chris bonowall mentioned earlier but things are still getting planned out :>
