The Vancouver meet up was a great experience that I will never forget..
I met the most amazing group of people. I never thought this many connections could happen all in one room at the same time....
The fund raiser was fun and fabulous!...
To the amazing people who helped plan the pre party thank you!..
The shows will not be forgotten as well...

I hear $3500 when I asked last night.

OMG!!!! Ed definitely looked at our reqested setlist, and chose some of the songs from it. ..WOW!

A select few of us rocked out to PORCH, while everyone else remained seated. There were beautiful back drops selected, and the stage was simple but meaningful. and wait til you see HARD SUN!!! Theatrical! Liam was killer also. I'd pay again to see him perform.

Can't wait for night #2 tonight.

I got pics from the preparty to post when I return...and OMG!!! Foxymop! Ed had on white jeans and a butthole surfers shirt..I'll tell you all about him saying licking his balls when I get back! Holy shit, what an incredible night!!!

Beautiful theatre, beautiful people, beautiful vibes...Beautiful night, GUARANTEED!!!

I posted a tad bit more info on Given To Fly! Borders crossing info...

Unfortunately this was not the total... the ACTUAL total was $1553. I am not sure who heard that it was $3500, but I counted the money myself (several times over) and that was the exact total! Thanks for all the wonderful donations & support!

I jumped the gun with the total...in my hypglycemic haze, I combined two conversations about money and then told Surfrider the wrong total...I did apologize as soon as I heard the $3400 + total was incorrect. Sorry for the confusion everyone. So, as sqizzelfritz and restlesssoul have said - the actual total was $1553...plus around $500 for Wishlist t-shirts and stickers. I warned everyone my math was terrible!

The preparty was so well attended...so many people there buying raffle tickets and t-shirts! And it was loud with everyone having a great time, meeting new friends, and catching up with old ones - it was so great! You guys all came out in huge numbers and the preparty was a massive success. I even heard a couple of guys on the street the next day complaining that there wasn't another one for the second show....

Anyway, I want to again thanks everyone who helped out, in particular sqizzelfritz, yahamita, wolfbear, restlesssoul, brad, pjbiz, and anyone who's name I'll come back and edit into this list. It was fantastic meeting people for the first time and catching up with others I've met before. There were some other people I really wanted to meet, but I just didn't get a chance...I was thrilled to see everyone having such a good time and the smiling faces and PDAs left me (and hopefully everyone else) feeling quite happy.

Adrian and Denice from Surfrider were absolutely wonderful with donating so many cool "surf" things and informing people about the Surfrider Foundation and what they do. They were so thankful for the exposure they got....

And massive thanks to everyone who came out to support Surfrider, Wishlist, and Eddie Vedder! Pearl Jam fans are so awesome! Wednesday and Thursday were such great days of meeting new friends and kindred spirits, such interesting and cool people - the concerts were the icing on the cake! And yes, bawled like an idiot starting with Arc and then Hard Sun, but I think it was because of the emotional connection I felt with so many people over the two days. There's a whole pack of new people that I'm going to miss an awful lot!

THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!!

It was a GREAT, great time. Seeing old friends and meeting some for the first time!!! It was SO cool... just SO beautiful. Meeting people that I had been friends with for a while now

A big, BIG thank to soundgrunger. You are a real sweetheart I hope that karma comes back to you ! It would have been sad to miss night 2 and you were so super kind!!! So anyone that has extra tickets for LA or San Diego let soundgrunger know.. she deserves them!!!!
