    decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
    he grew a beard.

    I am sorry, I should have been more specific. How about the Chicago charity that I am associated with? :)

    Updated w/the latest RSVPs!

    Awesome ideas regarding the beneficiaries... We're just waiting to hear if there is a specific charity that Ed is interested in here in Chicago - if there isn't one, we can vote it up which beneficiary to choose here on the thread. That cool w/everyone? :)

    We got shut out for 10c night 2 tickets so if we get them through tm we (Amy and I) will be there on Friday. If anyone has an extra pair let me know. We would love to help out. Will let you know after Friday if we are going to make the trip from St. Paul. Wish us luck!!

    Terri


    Well no luck with tm either so we won't be making the trip unless by some miracle someone has a pair of night 2 tickets to sell us. I will help keep your thread on page one so people know about the parties. You all have a blast!!!

    EDIT! Well thanks to the folks on here who said tm still had tickets we got 2 tickets in restricted view, not together. Oh well at least we are in the building!!!!!!!! We will see you at the party and will try to bring some boots and other stuff to give away!!
