Message Pit Fan Scrapbook for Mike & the band

Check it out here!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/handsbound/100_0138.jpg

We will be providing the option for all you crazy fans to write a note, add a memento and/or a picture of yourself to the official CCFA/Pre-Party Scrapbook. All you need is to come to the pre-party, come up with something to say and you can either bring your own picture (4x5 or smaller) or use the snappy digital camera print made right there at the fundraiser!

The cost is $5 for half a page, $10 for one whole side of a page and $20 for 1 full page, front and back. Spaces are limited and all proceeds will go towards the CCFA. We will be giving the scrapbook to the guys up on stage. Great way for the band to actually *see* who you are and learn about you, all while donating to a great cause!

You can pre-reserve your page space now - it's free. This will help give us an better idea of how many pages we will be needing. So sign up now and let us know if you want a half page, whole page (1 side) or full page (2 sides) front/back!

You can pre-reserve your page space now - you just pay the day of the party. This will help give us an better idea of how many pages we will be needing. So sign up now and let us know if you want a half page, (1 side) whole page, or full page (2 sides) front/back!

This is the Meadows!!! The official name just got changed to the Dodge Music Center.

My sister and I will be there early and look forward to contributing some of our beer money to this worthy cause!!! Then it's off to tailgating for a little cookout. I checked with the Dodge and grills are OK in case anyone else was thinking of bringing one.

Hands bound

Does anyone want to donate items???

It can be anything Pearl Jam...boots, DVD's, extra posters....anything would be appreciated! It's only 23 days away!

nothingman44

No kidding, I can't wait...

What are some boots from 2000 & 2003 that would be good to burn? I'm going to pair them up (so the winner gets 2 shows) and want them to be good ones...I think I'm going to burn like 5-7 pairs of shows...

8/3/00 Virginia Beach (Daughter/Its OK very emotional)
8/24/00 Jones Beach (My birthday so im partial but a very good boot anyway)
11/6/00 Seattle (Set list/last night of tour...enough said)
4/22/03 St. Louis (Save it for later tag on Betterman is great and ended the show with an awesome Indifference. Present Tense to open too. Great boot with slightly unusual setlist)
4/23/03 Champaign (Ed says "Lets go" and opens with a very intense DTE. The show rocks until the last note is played)
7/9/03 MSG 2 (Overshadowed by the LATG but arguably a better show. Loved the setlist)

These are just some of my favorites from 2000 and 2003. If you want any of them I have them all so just let me know.

Myself + 1...the fundraiser is at the Hilton @ 3:30 or at City Steam?? Is there a door fee? I have parking at the venue, so three people can jump in with me if they have trouble walking the distance.

Actually, I've been kinda pre-occupied lately and havn't updated...I'm waiting to hear back from another venue. The City Steam is giving me a run around and I think we're gonna go with Sweet Janes.

I will update on Monday afternoon when I know everything is concrete.

I would think that either Coaches or Black Eyed Sally's would be more accomodating. I live about a half hour from Hartford, what can I do to help?
You know the Hilton might set up a room w/ a bar or a table near the hotel bar if you have several people renting rooms...
