And if mgdsolo wants to help out with the Wishlist stuff (along with Foxymop), please do so! I have no idea what I'm doing! I feel like I'm floundering already. Getting the stuff from Wishlist to BC might take a long time, and it would be best to go to someone on the mainland anyway (I'm on Vancouver Island - and no, Vancouver is not on an island)...
I will be in touch with the Vancouver Chapter of Surfrider to see if anyone from there would like to attend the pre-party...I will also email CFOX and a couple of radio/broadcasting folk I know that maybe could come and MC or maybe cough up some goodies.... I emailed Ten Club regarding any specific or general cause Ed wanted us to support, but I have not heard back (busy sorting out the ticket issues, I imagine)....
Whew! More updates to come, I'm sure!!
It sounds like wolfbear is on it like a bonnet. However, if the need for help with Wishlist or whatever arises- just let me know- I'd be glad to do what I can. One suggestion- I don't care how gay it sounds- is name tag stickers. OK, I may get the Geek One award for this, but wouldn't be nice to put faces with screen names- especially for those who travel long distances or don't feel as connected as they like. I remember there were a couple of dudes from so Cal (u reading this?) that were riding me about this one at the last Vancouver pre-party, but everyone knows they've been huffing smog too long as it is- what's a little more hot air
Good clear communication with the venue management is so important- especially since it would suck to be staffed and provisioned for a nice quiet wedensday night and then have 100 thirsty, hungry, voiciferous pearl jam fans decend on your establishment and leave it looking like a leaf skeleton ater a gypsy moth infestation.0 -
I'll be there with friends. I think this may be the first time i have posted in years. Caught up in the moment i guess. It will be great to meet a bunch of you folks.0

I hear ya...I think equallyworthless is ontop of the whole venue thing...
Wolfbear is going to bring the Wishlist stuff...
I think maybe it's time to start asking for donations for auction items (if we have an auction or just prize draws)...and such...
but for sure I will be calling on you, mdgsolo! Your location says Bend, Oregon, but I trust you when you say you're in Vancouver...be philanthropic0 -
i've been racking my brain for auction stuff, i dont have much, but i have a coworker who gives me stuff from time to time maybe i'll ask him, today he gave me a backstage pass from the '00 tour when he saw them vip at the commodore...Vedderfan10 wrote:I hear ya...I think equallyworthless is ontop of the whole venue thing...

Or were you talking actual pictures? Now I'm confused. lol
Plus, V10 I am bringing some stuff to donate as well. I'll send a list when I have it figured out. Also, you're a bit early on the Wishlist stuff as I haven't heard back from Laura yet. There may be someone coming from Chicago that would make it even easier? If not, I'll be glad to bring them for sure, and I have pm'd her. "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain."

there are equipped to deal with large parties, its one of their fortes, Rascal Flatts is playing GM Place that night so its gonna be rocking whether were there or not, pretty much anywhere in that area.
about the nametags idea, maybe we could start a facebook group specifically dedicated to the preparty and on the main discussion page everyone posts there username , its easy to put a face to a name that way, we could still do name tags or badges or something byut this might reduce some of the franticness of that.{if (work != 0) {
