Great job getting the BAND!!!
It was nice to sit down & get excited with other PJ Fans!!
This is gonna be a fun evening. :ugeek:

Lost In Ohio

Ack!

I tried to ask Eric & Laura from Wishlist about items...but I haven't heard any response from them.

However... Does this mean that we may not need their help?

So The Real California is already promoting the event on their Facebook page!! You can see it here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Real-California/154457377902710?v=wall.

Let's all follow their example and promote the heck out of this event! As soon as I have the poster ready (hopefully within the next couple of days) I'll post it here so everyone can have it.

Is there going to be an open jam after the band?

only thing I've received is Brad promo items, so I would say we need to keep trying. Have sent her a message. Have to wait for a response. If not, we'll need to get creative for the fundraiser. I would have to get it put together again, but I may be willing to part with the Ten Super Deluxe Box for our little shindig.

You must have read my mind because I was just going to come back here and confirm that there were still people interested in doing an open mic segment!

The band actually suggested perhaps doing that earlier in the evening so as to get people there earlier. Based on the preferences of the manager of Victory's, I may try to get another band (probably not Pearl Jam related) to play after The Real California. I'll be sure to let you know the plan.

Awesome! I will bring my guitar! Cant' wait!

Question for you all - do you think it will make a big difference in attendence if we keep the party to 21 and over? It looks like it will be somewhat of a PITA to find door guys, pay them, get wristbands, etc... to make it 18 over since the bar is normally 21 and over.

Thoughts?

Are there many 18 - 20 year old Pearl Jam fans that were planning to come??
It's not in the University District...so most of the younger college crowd won't be around this area anyway.
I don't hang out in the Brewery District, but if the club is usually 21+...I'm fine with leaving it as is!!! :ugeek:

That would be great! I tried contacting Wishlist the other day and have not heard back either. I have to say that I'm getting a bit frustrated and annoyed.

I'd be willing to donate the 2010 Columbus show poster and a holiday single.

The posters are done! Here are the images that you can right click on and save to your computer to e-mail, post on Facebook, etc. This evening I'll also have the Photoshop files to actually print from. If you'd like the Photoshop file, please let me know and I'll try to figure out some way to get it to you.

These posters are FREAKING AWESOME!!!
I LOVE BOTH OF THEM!!!!
We should sell them at the SHOW....
Maybe $5.00 each and donate the profits to Crimestoppers!!!!
Very Nice Job :ugeek:

Lost In Ohio

To donate, I have a:

CD-R of House of Blues (Ed & C-Average) from 11/13/99 (date could be wrong)
CD-R of Pearl Jam Unplugged. For all I know, it could have the mention of Beth.
Maybe a few other DVDr or CDr material.


How bad do I want to donate a Volcom Backspacer t-shirt (size Medium.) New, in unopened bag.

I mean, it's the only one I have. It's too small for me, but it COULD be a major collectible some day, no?


As for the minimum age, I mentioned that I know someone who may not mind doing it, but that was before I remembered about the OSU football game the next day. I'm sure he'll have to be there butt-ass early for that one, so he's probably out...unless someone else wants me to ask.


And I do like the idea of selling the posters. Maybe even "sell" things for a minimum donation requested, or is that too much to ask?

I wish I could take credit for the fabulous posters, but it was actually a friend of mine who also happens to be a bartender at Victory's and a huge PJ fan who did them.

I'm going to Kinko's to print some to put up tomorrow. Let me see how much they cost to print and then we can determine if it would be worth it to try to sell them.

Lost - that would be great if you could donate those things! I'm going to assume that there will probably be quite a few "casual" fans there who might by psyched to win a Backspacer t-shirt!

given there are copyrighted images on these, I think it would be wise to ask for permission to this. I wouldn't think there would be a problem actually using these for this purpose, just sayin. AND BESIDES, YOU'VE OPENLY POSTED!!!

derbydave

We also posted...
Donate the profits to Crimestoppers
I've got a Gorge & Philly Boxset (Does it matter if they are opened?)
I can donate to the raffle too!! :ugeek:

catscheller

I had thought about the copyright issues last night also. So I would not feel comfortable selling the posters, even for charity.

I can't wait...this sounds like so much fun...Thanks to everyone putting all the time and effort into making this happen...

I just made a Facebook page for the Party! I hope I did everything properly. :?

Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Pearl-Jam-20th-Anniversary-Party-Columbus-OH/165071726838035

Please help to spread the word!

Since there have been some copyright concerns about the flyers, I've made a half-sheet flyer from photos taken by fellow 10C members (and I got their permission also!). I plan to put these on tables and hand them out at Victory's during the next couple of weeks.
