am i the ONLY one who the LAST thing i want to see/hear before or after a pearl jam concert, is a pearl jam tribute band? seriously?
i LOVE the preparties for gathering with fellow fans, getting together with old friends and new....always up for it. i think it's great how many donate time and $$$.....and i understand the bands are doing that as well. it's just, i don't know....we're seeing PEARL JAM, the REAL deal.....why would you want to listen to someone else doing their stuff RIGHT before you get to see/hear/experience the real deal? just my 0.02. i'd far rather listen to whatever.....and have great times with the people present. to me, preparties are for friends. seeing a tribute band, just way too loud/distracting to really socialize. we'll all see/hear pearl jam soon enough after the pre-parties.
and, i'll shut up now.
I'm totally with you there.
hell, I've never seen the point of tribute bands at all anyway (cover bands are different).
so..well, if there's a band like that I guess I'll stay clear..:(

well, i'll still go b/c i would miss out on FAR too many friends otherwise. so it's worth it. but yes, i would prefer NO live band at all...for the reasons i stated. we're seeing PEARL JAM...live...in a few hours...i don't want to hear/see anyone else. however, hopefully it'll only last an hour. and please, i DO appreciate that the bands are donating their time for the benefit of all, etc. i KNOW that's quite a gift for many. just for me personally, i rather have the jukebox....and more conversation. with a band in the bar, sooooo difgficult to hold a convo! i look forward to such meet-ups SOLEY to socialize with fellow fans, and especially to meet new friends, etc. c'est la vie......
btw - agree on the cover bands...especially since my husband plays in a few. haha. and hey, i don't mind tribute bands really, but overall...no...not my thing. i do appreciate what they do, i just think for meet-up purposes, i'd prefer not. however, not my call to make...and with wishlist pretty much doing all meet-ups nowadays, it just doesn't even make sense to arrange others. i want to see/meet as many as possible. we'll just sit farrrrrrrrr from the stage, and/or go outside for a bit!

Glad to hear the Vancouver benefit raised so much money Well done on the organising! I had fun and was thankful for one of the raffle shirts to wear home. Brrr!
I am Jason, a Tampa guy who on June12th, begins his 10 day vacation from 60 hour work weeks at a restaurant I manage. Which means I am ready to party it up! I am willing to organize a pre-party if one hasn't already been planned. I know a lot about the area, directions, restaurants, bars...etc...I have plenty of energy to make this all work. Let me know if anyone has the scoop.

Thanks for stepping up JaySwan. Hopefully, we can stay close to the forum as we are staying at the Marriott and will be going sneaker train from there. We'll come up from Bradenton around lunch time to start the fest and we can probably help some too, if needed. Me plus at least four others. Can't wait.

Hey Jason,
We definitely are looking for an organizer to run the Tampa party - so hellz yeah, thanks for stepping up!
Basically the first step would be finding a bar/place within about 5-10 minutes walk from the venue and giving them a call - and it sounds like you're definitely the right man to do it
I'll be busy at work at my restaurant all this weekend but I have free time on Tuesday and Wednesday to make some calls, I will probably just go down to the area and talk to the restaurants in person. From my own experience as a restaurant manager, a restaurant can be more accommodating in a person to person meeting. I also know some local music talent that could play, if the place doesn't already have some groovin' sounds kickin' already.
(excuse the multiple posts)
Since everyone is out-of-town seeing EV shows, I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone helping with the fundraising parties so I'm going to go ahead and just make our event a WM3 fundraiser. While I'm promoting it to all of my friends in the SD press, I'm including info on the pre-parties at the Local so I'm sure it'll help get folks out. I'm going to try to go downtown and see if I can get flyers to someone who can get them out to showgoers. If you can help, PLEASE let me know. If you can make it over to U31 afterwards, please do. It should be a really fun time.
Here's what I'm emailing out.....
