I've seen enough of people geting gouged by fellow fans on here, selling posters, hoodies, and vinyls. I know how much i paid for this hoodie and yeah, i know it can go for doube or more on eBay.
Frankly, i don't give a shit.
I don't want to screw someone just for some cash.
In fact, i'll even pay for shipping.
Just reply to the thread and tell me something nice, REALLY nice that you've done for a fellow fan.
I'll read through and pick somone later today.
Hey K very nice thing you are doing good on you!!!

Man...really hate to toot my own horn..but since winning this AWESOME hoodie requires us to do so ..I'll take a stab
So here goes....
Something came over me when I read about Stickboy taking his CCFA journey. I really had only met him briefly in DC, but I felt compelled to reach out when I heard he was riding through Richmond. Now, I am not one to let complete strangers into my home, but something inside told me, if someone would take on such a daunting journey for a good cause, they must have a heart of gold. I got in touch w/ him via PM and offered to meet up. .. Well I didn't hear from him they day he was supposed to be in town, so I thought he decided to pass through. The following day I got a PM saying he had gotten a lil behind on his trip and that he would be arriving in Richmond that day. I must say it kinda put me in a fix because I had plans to see the Black Crowes that night....then it came to me...Now I don't have a ton of money..but I gathered enough funds together to pick up one more ticket and after picking him up at the local college I surprised him w/ a ticket to the Black Crowes, a few beers, a place to grab a shower and crash for the night. He was even nice enuff to blog about it...here... http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=417918360&blogID=439377044
Now I have a new bro in this PJ family. Awesome. Keep it up Eli.
Good luck to everyone in this...and thanks to TransplantedNewf for offering this.
I haven't gotten involved enough, my vote give it to D!!
He ran the preparties, and I'm STILL getting through his DVD prize pack!!
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
OK here goes...I am writing this without my husband knowing. Yes I hide behind his login from time to time. My husband and I were in Ontario in 2005 for three shows in Kitchener, London and Hamilton. We met two young kids, twin brothers in fact by chance in a diner. One noticed my PJ shirt and we had a great conversation. My husband offered to drive them to the show that night cuz he was not gonna drink and they mentioned that they were gonna take a cab. He's truly never met a stranger. Anyway, had a great night at the show. The next morning we followed each other to London. We noticed we were on oppostie ends of the town but wanted to grab a bite to eat together.
Well long story short...they didn't have much money and booked a room at the "Knight's Inn" online. The place turned out to be a disaster. Even worse, the place had to close due to a sewer line break on their property. So, our new friends were without a place to stay and no real money to get a proper hotel. My husband immediately offered for them to stay with us at the Holiday Inn across town. There I'm thinking we just met these boys and should we really be sharing a room with them. Sure enough my husband called and switched the room to two double beds and we ended up sharing a room with two guys we just met 29 hours ago. We speak to "our boys" at least once a month.
I typically do not approve of such decisions but my husband always pushes us to give unselfishly. I would list more examples but I've probably said more than he would want. He rarely takes any credit for anything he does...pay it forward is all he says.
well there is kind and then there is crazy!! i mean 2 dudes you never met before?! I'm glad we didn't read about a motel slaying the next day in the news papers!
and how do we know you're not just some nut job with a split personality posing as his own wife? :D

For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

One other note: refused $600 offer on my Santa Cruz pair of tickets and still gave one away at face.
