(excuse the multiple posts)
Since everyone is out-of-town seeing EV shows, I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone helping with the fundraising parties so I'm going to go ahead and just make our event a WM3 fundraiser. While I'm promoting it to all of my friends in the SD press, I'm including info on the pre-parties at the Local so I'm sure it'll help get folks out. I'm going to try to go downtown and see if I can get flyers to someone who can get them out to showgoers. If you can help, PLEASE let me know. If you can make it over to U31 afterwards, please do. It should be a really fun time.

Here's what I'm emailing out.....

Eddie Vedder pre & post-show fundraiser parties

Since Eddie Vedder's current solo-tour is benefiting several charities, fans are organizing their own parties to help raise funds for some of the causes that the tour is supporting. For tomorrow night's show at Spreckles, there is a pre AND post-show fundraiser. Here's the info:

Easiest to follow directions: take 1st Avenue north, enter 5 North on your left. Take to 8 east to 805 South. Exit University/North Park Way and stay to the right. Go left on University. U31 is on your right in several blocks. Less than 5 miles away.

There will also be a pre-show party at the Local for Wednesday night's show with different raffle prizes.

Please help spread this around to support some good causes!

  • Thanks to really REALLY bad luck, I only got to walk in for a second. As I pulled into a nearby parking lot, I remembered that my driver's window stopped working a couple of weeks ago (just a few months after I paid to get it fixed). I made the mistake of pressing the button down, which it did and it actually went halfway down and STOPPED. It was too late in the day to take it to a mechanic, which meant I'd have to get it somewhere and do the high-class towel over the window thing I've seen so many times. DAMNIT! Oh well. I parked across from the Local for a second, just long enough to run in and give Patrick flyers for our afterparty and the worst raffle donations ever: a cassette copy of an audience boot from the final '92 Lolla show where TOTDog played and the LA Weekly full-page ad for the 9/11/92 Lolla show (trimmed and folded years ago). I figured SOME PJ fan could appreciate it more than me.

    Dunno if the flyers got 'round but we didn't have a single person come over after the show. Oh well. Hopefully me sending stuff out about the pre-parties to local press friends helped get a few bodies in the door. Seemed very cool. Inspring to see how you guys rallied for the cause. Wish I could've stayed. Hope everyone had a good time at the parties and shows!

    I HATE CAR WINDOWS.
