For Breakfast if you are near 6th Street I recommend this:
24 Diner (600 North Lamar) is right next to Waterloo Records which is only 2nd to Easy Street in Seattle for cool record stores in my opinion. Or Whole Foods is practically right across the street and has great food. So you can get your vinyl, your breakfast, and meet some Austin hipsters.
Other good breakfasts and brunch:
Magnolia Cafe
Kerbey Lane
South Congress Cafe
Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill
(you can get breakfast tacos just about anywhere)
As far as coffee goes:
Patika Coffee
Sumermoon Coffee Bar
Jo's Coffee

Thank you!! Waterloo Records is already on the itinerary so I think 24 Diner for breakfast it is! Austin hipsters hang out at Whole Foods?
All those cafes sound great, looks like I'll be well-fed and caffeinated by the time evening rolls around!
So everyone knows our Night One musical talent: MFC2006 half of Cluthe/Lee but you probably do not know our musical guest for Night Two. Let me introduce all of you to Emily Wolfe. She will be playing two sets at the Fundraiser on the 28th. She is an indie/folky pop artist with an amazing voice. I think you will find her a great lead into Glen and Eddie.

There's a super 8 on 35, just outside of downtown..is that one alread filled up? I don't know about that best western, but I've stayed just a bit south of there at the fairfield off of 35 and Koenig Ln and it was fine. Just checked the reviews for that Best Western and they aren't bad so I'm sure it'll work...just a little bit of a hike from downtown, but you'll spend most of the afternoon at the preparty anyway so it's just a place to crash for the night.

Can't wait to get the f*ck out of town. I walked outside singing present tense to see what all the banging at my neighbors house was, and this old couple just turned and stared at me as they continued walking. Yes, i have three heads! Dumb f*ckers.
I need a new computer, neighborhood, and house!

We are getting close! Starting to count down the days now!! I've updated the initial post with additional items that have been donated and RSVPs.
We've got two parties to cover so we are still in need of additional donations!! Anyone have an extra set list or two? Guitar picks? Posters that are just sitting in a tube? Please check under the bed and in the drawers.
Donations don't have to be Pearl Jam related. If you have contacts with a local business that you think may be interested in donating items, please let me know and we can help you reach out. We sincerely appreciate all the support we have already received. You guys rock!
I also want to share some recent comments from the Innocence Project of Texas. Nick Vilbas, the Executive Directory for the IPOT, recently posted on the Facebook event page and his comments are below.
"Hey Everybody, I am the Executive Director for the Innocence Project of Texas and I am extremely stoked for the event. I am a Pearl Jam fan from way back and IPOT is grateful to be included, we need all the help we can get in the fight for justice. I look forward to hanging out and meeting everyone that attends!"
Nick and the IPOT are super excited to be a part of this event. It takes a lot of money to do the work that they do and their work is not something that gets a lot constant attention. That lack of constant awareness to the number of people wrongly convicted and fighting for their freedom can make fundraising more difficult. We can make a difference!
Below are a links to a couple of cases that have received some recent publicity. Please check out their Facebook Page for current events.
The awesome selfless support and generosity of this community continues to impress time and again. Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get this party started!!!
Got my blue wave Aussie EV t-shirt today! look me up sat at 3 pm. that's what i'll be wearing! Wearing my peace PJ t-shirt on Fri. Had to XXL! those American Appreal shirts are really small.

ok. well, i'm spending easter at my sister's house with a 7 year boy and a 3 year old girl, so i wore my blue Wave EV t-shirt anyway, cause i get to wear it in 5 months instead of three weeks, and my sister when i sat down at the restaurant said, oh, what's on your shirt? so yes, PJ merch is really cool graphics :-)
Watching the kids on the driveway, the three old comes up twice to say play the LONG ROAD again on my Kindle Fire :-)
So, I still carried on!
And maybe now we get to hear some new
PJ songs!

I've spoken to The Local Pub and Patio and also got in touch with Nick from the IPOT. They understand these things happen and are more than ready to pick it back up later this Fall. The silver lining is that this gives us more time to secure donations and gives more folks another chance to make plans to attend.
Thank you to everyone! You guys have been super supportive and I can't wait till November!
ok, rebooked at a different hotel altogether. is this still safe on i35. Roadeway Inn University.
Goal was to get as close as i could to the venue.
Yeah, and it's completely on the other side of the pre party. Taxi anyone?!
