    Ok, I guess everybody is off of the RV idea then. That was an odd turn of events. Doesn't matter to me either way, but damn, don't everybody volunteer to help circle the wagons all at once...

    What the fuck!!!! I leave for one day and anarchy ensues... I can see where Julian is coming from (the cost alone is nuts and the responsibilty whew)... However I digress, the green tent will be there once again (even if I don't get fucking 10C tickets :D).. and if the RV is a no go then maybe I will just rent a mid-size SUV to haul shit to the show.
    But lets check the status of the RV first and then get going... as mentioned before duties should be divided up and a few informal meetings or maybe even a couple a phone calls could help sort things out...
    Stay positive and hopefully we all get tickets tomorrow... and as MC said there will be a flag and where there's a flag I'm going to be partying :D

    Truthfully what Julian was trying to plan with the RV is a part time job within itself....I do events at my work and it takes A LOT of time to piece everything together and rely on other people at times to get things done! That is way too much for someone to organize when seriously IMO the most important part is seeing Pearl Jam in concert at the end of the day! We can all do exactly what we wanted to do at the GREEN TENT!!!! It seemed to have worked out great last year, so let's just do it again!

    Exactly, once I have tickets everything else should work itself.... I'm not worried about the tailgate, last time was great with just a tent and a bunch of us just showing up. The RV would be fucking awesome but not a necessity.
    Hopefully we all have some good luck tomorrow.. unless the site crashes becuase of the Boston sale today :D

    vw- thanks for understanding. :)

    Honestly people the logistics involved with this were just too much for me to handle. This RV thing would basically monopolize my entire Memorial Day weekend, I would need to find somewhere to store it, I would need to worry about some random drunk asshole @ the Tweeter Center doing something stupid and damaging it. I just want to have fun, relax and enjoy the weekend. also at this point I just can't afford the financial liability. If anyone else wants to step up and take control of the wheel be my guest. I will pitch in however possible. The RV idea was just something I floated out there and honestly I didn't expect much to come out of it.

    Let's all focus on tickets for Tweeter Center and East Rutherford. Then we can start planning the tailgate party.

    I am settled. I said what I said based on the initial reactions after PhillyPJ posted, if you read back on them, and there were enough even late on Friday. Everybody seemingly ran to the other side of the boat after the initial gung ho reaction. I felt like I was on a French Military message board there for a second with all the deserters :D I was just surprised it died so easy in that context. I could really care what we do, as long as we all hang and see the show and my pale ass has something to hide from the sun with.

    All good.

    Yea. I'm sorry if it seemed like I poured cold water on the fire. I just decided it wasn't going to work for me, and I wanted to let everyone know BEFORE they started to send me money etc... One of the things I had planned after the Tweeter center show was going to South Street to Jim's Steaks afterwards for a post-concert cheesesteak which is what I did back in 2003.

    If I had to drive this RV around that would be next to impossible. The RV would be an 800 pound gorilla on my back for the entire weekend. Again, there will be a tailgate party in some form or fashion, but there will not be an RV there. if someone else wants to take the ball and run with it go right ahead!!

    Julian thanks anyway for doing all that work! I am sure an awesome tailgate party can still be arranged without the RV-I think the ideas of a possible pre-arranged meeting space and cell phone chain are good and I am willing to help plan or arrange anything once we ALL get tickets (thinking positive!!)!
    I am off to a pre St Paddy's Day bar crawl-have a good weekend everyone and good luck tomorrow!!

    Laura-

    if you want you can start a new thread for the CCFA/pre-party. just cut and paste the RSVP list from the 1st page of this thread. your other threads seemed to be pretty well-organized. :)

    You're right. Why bog yourself down and make the weekend too complicated. All that really matters is that we all get our tickets tomorrow. Like Chromiam said, once that is done everyhting else will fall into place.

    I never made it over to see the big green tent, but it sounds like it was big and green. I've never tailgated a Pearl Jam show with anything more than a cooler full of beer, Wawa hoagies, chips, and Pearl Jam cd's. I'm easy to please. I will say this though...I'm glad I'm not going to Boston. It is so nice outside right now. I wouldn't want to be stuck at the computer.
    Wait a minute....
    I'm on the computer right now.
    I'm such a dumb ass.
    Later.

    I think all we REALLY need is beer, food, a couple tents and card tables.

    That would work nicely and like PhillyPJ said, I got to thinking about the RV last night too, and it's just too much for the amount of people that wanted to go. I mean, only about 15-20 people could fit in there at a time. I think getting to the venue when they open the parking lot and getting a nice sized space close to the port-o-potty's (cause we all know it sucks to walk clear across the lot when you've gotta go) and set up shop there.

    How many people have tailgating tents? I think with 50+ people, we'd need at least two?

    Beer, we'll leave up to everyone to BYO....everyone has different tastes, but if someone wants to bring stuff to make special drinks ie: Car Bombs, Jello shots, that's ok too.

    Food wise we need to make a list of who's bringing what...and that can happen after we know the ticket situation.

    By doing it this way, it's eliminating the need to collect money from people, and still won't cost more than $25-$30 per person (maybe less) and of course the cost to park at the venue.

    I'm still waiting to hear about permission for the CCFA pre-party there, but having it at tents in the lot would work too...

    (I'm an organizer...can't help it, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so any other ideas can supercede mine, I'm just throwing my two cents out there)
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
