    And this thread had deteriorated into trolling once again.

    Dear mods, how about a lock? I think we've all heard this broken record enough.

    Hey if you want to use social media to raise a million dollars so you can play out some childish fantasy you need to be prepared to accept the criticism along with it.

    Yep, they were pretty much like that :) Was in Barbados (which makes me sound rich but we're really not, my brother - the successful one = paid for us!)

    Giant Tortoises or Galapagos Tortoises are my FAVORITE. If I ever become a gazillionaire I want to have an animal sanctuary fully staffed and doing actual good conservation/rehabilitation work and I want to have a couple there that I can feed mangoes when I'm in town.

    I can't find the photos of my favorite - the one in the Honolulu zoo who was eating a mango. I think it must be on my camera.

    WTF?!?! Why is it double posting on JUST this thread????

    Turtles and Tortoises are cool. Crowd sourcing? Not so cool. I figure if these guys make this work, than it's only fair I get to crowd source a trip around the world! ( just kidding, that would be stupid!)

    Pretty sure that's the same turtle.

    Speaking of Maryland and turtles and Trampled by Turtles... I'll be seeing them later this month at DelFest, right in my hometown.

    Really though. The respectful thing at this point is to take the thing down. Perhaps keep the group together as a PJ Forest Hills "fan group" and get together, connect on social media, etc... Do some charitable things and keep noticed. Im sure if it were ever conceivable to put on a show there, they may consider it.

    At this point holding out "until you hear a hard 'no'" and implying that the band isn't allowing people's dreams to come true is kind of being a dick.

    Didn't they say it would take a cease and desist order from PJ to get them to stop?

    Did they take money yet though or was it just pledges?

    It is just pledges. With these things, nobody gets charged until an arbitrary point.

    Is that true? That's borderline stalker-ish (as in: I'll-keep-pursuing-you-until-I-am-legally-told-to-stop).

    No. They never said that. This is like a child's game of passing the story along from person to person. It only gets more ridiculous with each post.

    The organizer said he would shut it down when management contacted him with a hard no. If I understood that correctly, that is not a cease and desist order.

    A Cease and Desist Order served by all members of the band, and played in musical form in a 30 song set?

    That's what I read too. None the less, still persistent enough to be borderline scary..

    What's scary are the people that sit outside of venues waiting to shake EV's hand, or to ask him if they can hug him, or profess their love to him. That's scary. The organizer of the crowdfund doesn't seem scary at all.
