    That's so sad! I don't know what I would do if I lost everything. I really should get renter's insurance. Between my music, dvds, and music equipment I would be devistated if something like this happened to me.

    I don't have any duplicates of anything, but I will try to think of something I can do.

    Spoke with Mariann tonight...First and foremost, she sends along her sincere thanks and gratitude to each and every person here for what they are doing, whether it is sending something, or well wishes, she is VERY GREATFUL!!! She wishes that she had more time to come here and do it herslef, but as you all can imagine, she has alot on her plate right now...So a big THANKS!!

    As for sizes..She said that a Mens Large works for t-shirts, sweatshirts, or hoodies for both her and Jim if you are so inclined to send those items. She use to LIVE in her concert tees!!

    Seems that they are doing as wll as can be expected, and for all intensive purposes their sprits seem very good.

    So, if anyone has any other questions or needs to know anything else, please drop me a pm so it doesnt go unnoticed by accident here. As I said, I can also keep track of what people ar sending if they send me a pm. If I dont hear from anyone, I will not worry too much about it....It is up to you all.

    So, again, THANKS to all who are helping...Not only does it mean alot to them, but the generosity of the crowd here never ceases to amaze me as well.

    THANKS...Scott

    Hate to read this, terrible news. But what a good way to help her and her family. Kinda makes you love Pearl Jam even more. Keep it up!

    Good call! Yeah, I can do that. I have quite a few boots from the 2000 tour, a few from 2003, and The Gorge. Not to mention all the albums, and most of the singles.

    Hi everyone!

    Sorry I haven't had a chance to respond here to all of the lovely thoughts and outpouring for Mariann Brady...the week has been busy keeping track of donations, e-mails ...

    Thank you ALL for the incredible response and bumps....a more generous and thoughtful fan community you'll never find!

    Scottie, I'll e-mail you off list to coordinate what you've rounded up as well. All communities: Bugs, RM, BRY, some German fans, Portuguese have done wonderful and amazing things, donating posters, Target gift cards, cash, extra vinyl...the lists go on.

    If you've done some housecleaning and have stuff you thought you might send, run it by me at bradyproject@aol.com so I can save you postage if it's something someone else already sent, etc. As has been said, dupes on things aren't tragic either as that helps her help someone else as well. And that is very Mariann, hence the amazing outpouring!

    A couple of pals got together and pretty much replaced all Mariann's PJ boots on 2 hard drives within days. She has them and is happily listening-that's restored her spirit more than anything! All within less than a week of the fire!

    I'm updating as much as possible on http://www.myspace.com/bradyproject as well. Again, 1,000,000 thanks to all and I'll try to be better at checking in! :)

    Love to all!

    Just to be clear:

    Mariann is covered on ALL PJ boots, at least the music part. Some have donated hard copies of 2000 boots, but she has all the music.

    Some of the things already donated:
    a set of Christmas singles
    ITW vinyl (w/shirt)
    Vitalogy vinyl
    Avocado vinyl
    NAIS 7" blue vinyl
    Gorge CD set
    many CD singles (Wishlist, Jeremy Austrian, Dissident Digipack, Last Kiss, NAIS)
    Place/Date book soft cover
    Avocado badge set

    Plus: many posters....(without posting one big list publicly, check with me at bradyproject@aol.com if you're concerned about sending a duplicate of something she already has)

    Again, duplicates aren't the end of the world as it allows her to trade in the future if needed. Rebuilding from the ground up.

    Wearables are a great idea too! You folks are awesome.

    this is really sad news. i think mariann was one of the first people to offer me pearl jam boots a long, long time ago. i wouldn't have been enjoying the band like i do now if it hadn't been for her
    thanks be praised she made it out of the house ok!
    From Tim Bierman's interview for 10c job: "what about computers, how are you with computers?" And I was like, "well, you know what, I don't have a computer. I've never had one and I really suck at it." And they were like, "ok, well, you can get a book."
