This Pit Member has been running the Wishlist Foundation at the Pre Party's for the last few shows. It is a lot of work and it is for a great cause - and he deserves some recognition.

Thank you Demtrios for everything - including giving me your extra ticket for last night.

    I wasn't at the pre-party for long but did sit beside Demtrios last night at Massey and we chatted about putting in the leg work for these pre-party fundraisers. You did a lot of work buddy. Thanks for stepping up!

    Was that you? You don't have to answer that, because obviously the answer is yes. Sorry, I didn't realize - I would've introduced myself otherwise.

    Hey Trix! ;)

    I have never had the pleasure of meeting Demetrios nor do I collect bootlegs and such, but he seems like an awesome person.
    Cheers to him.

    He is most certainly is - very nice guy (and all the way from Halifax too!). It's only now sinking in about the boots (we talked about this last night but I wasn't quite focused). I'm not a collector either, but seeing as I was at the show last night, I may have to pm him on this one. Nice hearing from you TrixieCat!

    yeah Demetrios is a prince among men, it was nice to finally get a chance to talk to him as Hartford was really chaotic at the front of the bar.

    Thank you Demetrios for everything you did with the fundraising and thank you for the raffles. Have a good safe trip back to Halifax and I hope to see you again sometime when a tour is ongoing

    It was even more special to finally win the Demetrios box of goodies at one of the pre-parties, I have had a crush on that box of PJ live love for a while now

    And now she has come home
