Ok guys, we're going to help out fellow PJ fan Christopher Lee-Sye & his family. They lost everything in the Joplin MO tornado. At the STL party we will be a drop off point for items. PJ stuff is GREAT! But his family has lost everything. As the party date gets closer, we will ask him what they need and post here so we can get a good idea of needs.

We are going to have a scrapbook, sort of, for people to sign at the party
$1 or more if you would like to donate, for a page.

Hotel:
If someone wants to try Priceline or Hotwire and gets a good deal let us know and we'll post here. We might call to see if we can get a group rate but with it being 4th of July weekend and St Louis has this huge festival that might not be possible. I'll update here and at the FB page with any information we get.
Adding a link to the Festival which is called Fair St Louis http://celebratestlouis.org/
*adding this*
Someone pricelined last saturday and got the sheraton 3.5 stars downtown for 55.00 dollars plus fees and taxes. THANKS Satans Red Mosquito!
Someone bid $75.00 on Priceline this afternoon for a 4 star in downtown St. Louis. Got the Westin. THANKS Riverrunner!
We can't guarantee you will get the same deal, but wanted to put the info out there.

Post your RSVP here! Hope to see lots of you there!
Check this 1st post, which will stay updated.

gimmesometruth27

i will be there at some point. depends on when i get out of work that day.

thanks for organizing.


by the way, that festival downtown is traditionally pretty cool. they usually have national acts playing on the riverfront and it is free. so if you are staying in the weekend that is something cool to do here in st. louis. i do recommend vito's pizza, which is about 2 blocks east of the venue. they used to have a lunch buffet so you can eat there while you are waiting for the ticket window to open up. i have not eaten lunch there since the 2004 vfc show so i am unsure if they still have the buffet, but it is grreat pizza.

mindi

Yeah it is pretty cool. But is very crowded and St Louis in July is HOT! So dress appropriately if you do decide to go. We have very high humidity so stay hydrated!

Looks like Steve Miller Band is playing Saturday.

Here's a link to the Fair St Louis, is that what they still call it? I'll add it to the OP too.

And adding you in as our first RSVP

dougfloyd

My wife and I will be there after we check into our hotel and pick up our tickets. Hope to make it in time for the raffle and to have a few drinks before the show. Not sure what time we'll make it into town. See you all there 8-)

glorified K

coming from indy. will try to make it- but also depends on what time mrs. can get off work friday. we plan on making it a weekend in st louis. have always had a good time when visiting in the past.

USMC_Sgt

I should be there; the flights i'm looking at get me into St. Louis around 11AM. I'll have all day to kill. Buddy that is meeting me for the show probably won't get in until mid-afternoon.

FYI: Union Station Marriott has rooms for around 100$, if you are a member of AAA. Looks like a pretty good deal and the hotel has solid ratings on hotel.com.

boxorbag

Sent pm about some donations.

LeatherMosquitoMan

I'll be there for a little bit

mfc2006

i won't be there, but i think i have a few cool items to donate. let me check around & i'll get back to you.

Nothingbetter

Put my wife and I down as maybes. We'll try to make it. Driving in from Wichita so just depends on timing of everything.

Thanks for organizing!

mindi

I'll update in a bit, my dog is asleep on my arm and it makes it impossible to do much with two hands. I can type with one, but not c&p very well, or concentrate. :roll:

Thanks for all the offers of donations! Donations are what makes the fundraiser successful!

loveboatcayden

Myself and 3 others will be coming up from Florida and will certainly attend the pre-party. I'll try to get something together to donate. Thanks for doing this.

CF181594

I'll be there and my niece. Also, I will have two 8x10 framed photos of Eddie that my wife took during the May 4, 2010 Pearl Jam show at Scottrade Center for donations.

mindi

Adding you and niece Chris!
We''ll probably auction the pictures since the one you donated in Little Rock did really well.
THANKS!

Not that I have heard of yet. I'm hoping someone does. I'm only 20 minutes from downtown STL, but am thinking about staying in a hotel that night.

If anyone does get a deal with priceline or hotwire I'll post it in the OP.

lowlight1

I'm in

dasvidana

I plan to make it. Don't have a clue about hotels or flights yet, though. Guess I have some planning to do.

Tboz51

I'll RSVP if you promise this place won't change?? ;-)

Sorry, but MSG2 last year changed the day of.

Put me in, I'll be there.
