    The pre-party was nice, won the eddie picture, my friend won the I-pod deck and head phones, Into the wild Cd. Met a cool couple, If you are reading I will get you the Grand Rapids DVD. Be patient. Totally unexpected, we were there for a good time and we had one. The show was excellent. My grey "play Alpine Valley shirt" did not quite make it to ED. I had a hell of a time trying to get it back. Finally a stage hand threw it back to me. I will throw it to Ed at Chicago night 1. A great Hard Sun, with authority for good reason. I don't understand the yelling and shouting, esecially after Ed tells you to stop. Very strange thought process among us. Patrick, Foxy keep up the good work.

    I just want to say you did a GREAT JOB organizing the pre-party Patrick. I know you put a lot of effort into it and it showed. I think it was especially cool to hear about the ticket auction, and how much the station was promoting it. Sounds like the charity is a really good one too from what you said.

    I want to thank Faithful2you and his wife as well for taking the time and effort to get the Alpine shirts made. I've had shirts printed in the past, but I haven't worked with a printer in years and I wouldn't have known where to go to have them done. They turned out AWESOME and I hope Ed got a kick out of it. The one you guys threw was sitting on the tape reels towards the end so I'm sure he saw it later.
    I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.

  • A big thank you to all that donated and helped out at the party. Thank you Laura for bring up the Wishlist items and helping out. Mo's Irish Pub didn't expect such a busy crowd but they were sure happy. They had to call in extra help and it still wasn't enough. But a huge thank you to Jeremy and all the staff at Mo's for hosting. We couldn't have been any closer to the Riverside. lol

    It started out slow but at one moment I looked around and realized the place was packed. I made my way around chatting my with as many people as I could. Amy and her helper Sandy? I'm bad with names so bare with me here. Amy was amazed and happy at how many people showed up. She is a fan of PJ but after all of this I think a little bit more now. :) She also says thank you to all that showed up and bought raffle tickets. The money raised at the party and the tickets auctioned off on Rock 102.1 we raised just over $2600.00. Many cats and dogs will be saved and found homes because of that money raised. Very awesome and such a great cause.

    Big thanks to Rock 102.1 and Kramp for showing up with the gift basket from the radio station. They plugged the party all weekend and that brought more non board people to the party I'm sure.

    I'm still tired from the party and show and taking a couple days off. Was thinking of going to tonight's Chicago show. But taking it easy and will be down for Friday's show.

    Once again thank you, thank you to everybody that helped and showed up. You all made it so much fun and special Tuesday nite.

    Thank you again.

    Patrick
  • Nice job again, Patrick! Was good to me you briefly beforehand. Maybe see you on Friday! We'll be at Kasey's before. Leaving Plymouth at 1:30, so hopefully we can get there before traffic get too nasty!

Thank you and thank faithful2you and his wife for the leg work in getting the shirts made, they turned out great! We also enjoyed your company and enjoyed chatting.

    enjoyed meeting you too. The show, at times, seemed akward with the chatter. But, in hindsight, we have to let all that go and enjoy the show for what it was. I looked so forward to this show and the time just flew. Last night I thought, hmmm, 24 hours ago we were sitting in our seats.....LOL!!!

    So, now we wait for ALPINE 2009!!!!!! Forget the haters Patrick, let's get the official 2009 thread started, you can't be that tired...........

  • hey patrick, the pre-party was a lot of fun and could not have been a better location (well eddie dressing room would have been better :) ).

    my wife and i met a lot of really cool people like the guy below and his friend and a brother-sister fan combo from chicago.

    just wanted to say thanks, and i love my yield wrist-band, drove all the way back to michigan with it on!!!!

    hey, i will be very patient......but i also can't wait to see it. Thanks for doing this! also remind jhn about the guy in the bathroom who asked us if we knew what was up with all the pearl jam shirts
    it was hilarious, one of my favorite memories of the pre-party.
    hope to catch up again at another show some time.
