EV Memphis 6/20 Pre-Party Fundraiser

I can't believe I'm flying to Memphis in a few days bump.

I love my postal worker!! I just opened my front door & a poster tube fell in! I'm so glad that my postal worker walked to my front door in the torrential down pour to leave the tube on my porch! Inside the tube is the Klausen LA 06 poster. In doing a bit of research.....I think this is going to be a live auction item! 4 daze!

I'm just hoping all this stuff will fit in my VW!

You might have to get one of those little u-haul trailers

Thinking about it... it sounds like heaven! A trailer full of PJ stuffs. Yum!!

I will be in Nashville tomorrow with a friend and driving home Thursday morning (decided to stay all night). The hubby (Butch) and I will be leaving Metropolis for Memphis sometime on Friday. I hope to get there early enough on Friday to enjoy some down time in Memphis.

We are also working with Lamar Sorrento, Memphis Folk Artist, on the possibility of him doing a painting for the preparty. Here's his link http://www.lamarsorrento.com He's done work for Neil Young & Keith Richards amongst many other known names.

See y'all on Beale very soon!

Good evening everyone!

I just got an e-mail from Melissa with Lamar's painting of Eddie. The painting is approximately 14" by 18". Melissa, great job on scoring this for the preparty!






Can't believe Memphis is only a few days away! Ed's setlists keep getting better and better!

Thanks Daniel for helping with my technical difficulties!

Ladies and gentlemen one of the hardest working WL helpers of all time.

I'm in for the party and show. Heading down to Nashville today for tomorrows show, then on to Memphis. Don't have anything PJ related to donate , but have framed lyrics to The Doors "Love Her Madly" autographed by Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger ; both of whom played a couple Doors songs with Ed in LA several , or more, years ago. Hope this donation is acceptable.

Blind3, That is an awesome donation. And, I'm pretty positive that it won't be the only alternant musician item. I've heard we have some local Memphis musicians donating items to the cause. Plus, Kate Crowder, of Two Way Radio & "$5 Cover", is trying to round up items from other musicians & bands that appeared in "$5 Cover". Kate is one of the co-directors of the camp & will be in atendance on Saturday. If anyone has no idea what "$5 Cover" is.....its an MTV series based on the Memphis music scene. I got hooked on it back around the 1st of May. Its possibly the best show that MTV has had in 10 years. MTV does have webisodes at mtv.com CHECK IT OUT!
Jim, Holy Cow!!! You don't need to look for anything else. I think what you've got for donations are awesome! Thank you so much!

Also, it rumored that a fan maybe donating there 05 HOB poster I talked with this person yesterday. And, she said that she really wasn't attached to it.....it's just finding it.

I watched the "Family Jewels" episode in Memphis, yesterday. I think its quite a coincidence that aired just a few days before we all get into Memphis. Its kinda like getting a travel dvd just before you go somewhere

Also, on Saturday at 1pm......before the party & before Sat. check in at the Westin. The Memphis & Shelby County Music Commission is holding a free concert in Handy Park (just across the street from the Hard Rock) The concert is called Generation Next & its showcasing Memphis' up & coming young musicians. So, this is right in line with the Delta Girls & the commission is promoting our preparty along with the concert.

3 more days! See y'all there!
