lol - i am NOT surprised and I DONT blame the guy.

provide him with the official press release about the European tour from the main page for a start.

If you contacted lots of Newspapers and magazines... it's possible you could get some sponsoring... T shirts... sign on the side of the bus,. website banner...or whatever... try Kerrang... NME.... any Norwegian ones... that could bring down the price a wee bit... then they could get a report on the whole thing...... does anyone who's going have a journalism degree... basically make up a standard letter to magazines and newspapers and send them all out...

One of them is bound to be stupid enough to throw a little bit of money at some crazy people...

Eneh

Actually I dont think being sponsored by a newspaper or magazine or any cooperation would be a good thing. And the legal side of it would include more than 2 parties. But getting being spoken of would be a treat. In advance even more so, because maybe people will learn about this who are not connected to this or any board and would be interested to join.

I also believe in 'sponsored by noone'* but it wouldn't hurt to have someone on the bus just for filling . They may turn out to be good company after all .

*I just turned down an offer from a ticket broker to have his add on the Dutch Pearl Jam portal. He wanted to pay me 150 euro for the rest of this month alone, but I went to the site and there were ridiculous ticket prices. I don't want to support things like that, even though I could use the money...

p.s.: Grethe, did you read that e-mail from the bus driver I 'know'? I think some of his ideas were good.

I hope so! I'm going to Roskilde since 1995 and next year would be a perfect opportunity to have Pearl Jam there again. Safely, ofcourse, and respectful, as always...

I don't know how I feel about seeing them at Roskilde again. On one hand it would be a very respectful thing, but what would they play? I mean they can't really play an all acoustic. On the other hand it would be too emotional for many fans, who attended the 2000 show and it just seems bizare somehow.
I remember reading somewhere (must have been Gaffa) that PJ wouldn't mind playing at Roskilde again, but it would have to be some time from now. The accident is still to close.
However they only have bad memories from Roskilde. The first time they played there in '92, Ed was beat up by some ppl in the crowd after a stagedive mishab. He got on stage again and said "We'll never visit this fucking country again!". When they eventually did come back, nine people were killed.
There more I think of it, they shouldn't play Roskilde again imo. There's just too much bad karma about it.

I'm still not sure if I'll be able to do this.
As much as I want to, I'm not sure I can afford it.
It's a fair price and all, and you guys will have a blast, but
when are the payments due? I might have missed the
info on this or I'm just to lazy searching for it

quote mail from comp :
"Financial side would be stage payment system every 9 days of equal payments"

but we need some sort of buffer-zone, I would think. If we see that this may be pulled off, I´ll set up a special ETB-account, and payments to the comp would come from this account. I have to discuss the details on it with both Stian and coach company, but I´d say...you still have some time to work your butt of
