***official Bridge School Benefit Pre-party***

Great PJ set. I'll describe more, but I'm tired, very tired.

I'll see everyone back at the Sports Page later this morning for some breakfast and football.

No Jaeger bombs until after 12 noon, F'n Circus.

OK- So I am exhausted! The party went very well I thought!!! Fellow fans KICK ASS!!! We raised over $1400 and were able to put a child through that camp whcih was the goal.

I will have more Wishlist Foundation Shirts with me today if anyone wants to buy them!!

As far as last night's show. I was not very happy. I am starting a new thread about my thoughts on Dave Matthews Fans (flame if you'd like but I'm expressing those thoughts cuz they NEED to be said).

Aside of that, it was a fucking Brian Wilson concert! HOnestly, who doesn't appreciate the Beach Boys but for over an hour!?!?!? Cut Foos set to 40 minutes and PKJ only played like 6 songs or something.

In no particular order:
Small Town, Throw Your Hatred DOwn (w Neil), Daughter, Man Of The Hour, Your Photograph (?) - Tom Waite song, Crazy Mary

That's all I remember...might be it.

Oh yeah, they came on BEFORE DMB!? I left afterwards. I was prety tired and really disgusted. I will save my energy for tonight (PJs anniversary) and hope/expect big things.

See you At The Sports Page...once I wake up!

Great job Bonowall at putting together the party yesterday. If only I could have won a raffle prize that I didn't donate ..., but that's ok. $1400, that's great especially the sales job/guilt trip that you did on everyone there to get more raffle tickets.

I'll see you at the Sports Page soon for a big Irish breakfast and maybe a BIG Irish coffee.

See ya at the bridge, seats today yeah! Lawn was way to packed, couldn't see much sat. Have a great time!

LukinTimer

Yeah... I LOVED the PJ set but was disappointed by how short it was. UH....DMB was a bit boring, nearly fell asleep during the first 2 songs. Zzzzz......

Came back to life near the end of their set when Neil joined them... but the set change was soooo long between DMB and Neil. I stayed to the friggin' end though and it was worth it. PJ and others came out and shook things up with Rockin' in the Free World. It was great. McCready was rocking that guitar!

Hoping for more PJ today.

Big KUDOS to Bonowall who put together a great shin-dig!! Hoping to make it back to the Sports Page before the show, depends on when 1 VedHeads plane gets in!!!

GREAT JOB!!!

Amazing weather too. We gotta borrow that Auctioneer for all of our events. ha ha.

That kid's family must feel at soo much peace.

Thanks soo much!!!

Funkdog

me and my wife's cousin had fun pre-show hangin with other pj fans drinking some anchor steam wating for the show. show was sweet, IMO Trent Reznor and Foo Fighters stole the show. I loved wilson's set, but because of the length it seemed to cut into PJ's set, which seemed very short. That song they did with neil though was sweet so it made up for it being shortened. good experience, it was fun meeting some fans. So hi to the guys from Millwaukee and Jeremy & Jaquolin from STL. wish I could've been there tonight, but I was at the raider game today and they won so it concluded a great weekend for me. later.

I went to both nights & only left a little early Sunday because I was just flat out exhausted....

Just remember for next time: F. that lawn! It's such a much better experience in seats. I didn't even KNOW there were Dave Matthews fans around me.

1Vedhead

It was GREAT meeting fellow jammers at the show yesterday! (This board is the only thing keeping me awake at work - didn't get back to LA until 5 AM!)

Congrats to Bonowall and all who attended on the success of the party!

As for last night,
I thought PJ's set was great but way too short, Trent & the Foo Fighters were also highlights.

Can't wait to see some of you / meet more people at the next show!

mookie_in_eugene

Congrats, again, on the pre-party, bonowall. I hope your fantasy football team was able to do better once we left the Sports Page on Sunday.

It was great meeting people at the party and at the concert (totem pole).

It is good to see that 1Vedhead and luckintimer made it back down to LA alright.

Lukintimer and PJCougar - As a good looser, I have to say congrats on WSU beating UO.

Loved PJ (2D > 1D) and the Triangle solo.

NeilJam

The Blue Chalk wasn't the best choice for the Friday party, but my wife & I still met some cool fans there and later that night walking around in the area. After hearing Linda call for us "Pearl Jam people" we ended up at a nice little bar there.

Had a great time at the Sports Page pre-party meeting new people and hanging out with other fans. I hope to see you all again at a future show or pre/post party.

That thing was straight out of a Cheech & Chong movie. Gave us just the right amount for this weekend.

LukinTimer

What a great weekend. Huge THANKS to BonoWall for all of his hard work... the parties, the raffle, auction and great result. It was a blast.

It was awesome meeting so many great PJ fans! You guys rock.

I thought Saturday's show was good, but Sunday was friggin' great. Black w/ We Belong Together tag was phenomenal, one of the best versions I've ever heard. Even Neil was in awe. And on top of that we got Masters of War and Lukin!!!

Along with Death Cab, Trent, the Foos... and the tringle solo. So much good stuff.

Yo, Mookie_in_Eugene... thanks for the congrats. Go Cougs! You're a good sport. Let me know about that Marseille boot.

Can't wait to do it again!

One moment he needs paper, then the next moment...wow! The thing was fatter than a cigar.
