    A few years ago fellow board member Wilds and I did a charity climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro and raised some $3500 in support of EBMRF (http://www.ebkids.org) partly by selling off some of our own PJ posters and other collectibles.

    I used to work for one of the board of directors of EBMRF and was heavily involved in their fundraising activities for some time. My former boss's son has EB...once you meet a child with that condition you will never look at your life the same way. Anytime anyone asks if they can donate in some way for my work on the PJStatTracker app, I refer them to the EBMRF.

    I always wished I could do more, so I am always happy to see Eddie and his wife working to raise money for this cause. I urge you all to look at the information on the websites and, if possible, make a small donation as every little bit helps:

    Thanks Ed for helping to raise money and awareness for this disease, it breaks your heart to see these children. No child should have to endure that kind of pain.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Sea, How about a Rock For EB 9/15/13 Fanview Thread?
    Would be nice to have the set memorialized!

    We'd love to read your Fanviews, go for it. :) - Kat

    We write this while still in a showtime high, following a most special performance tonight.

    The setting: a beautiful Malibu home amongst other beautiful homes, expansive lawn, overlooking the ocean, a crystal-clear sky, with the bright moon lighting the way.

    The people: a mix of everyday people, and unbelievable A+ list celebrities. This was a private event, and social media, photos and recordings were discouraged. Out of respect for that I will only mention the celebrities involved in the show. (Kat and/or Sea, if you think I have disclosed too much, I apologize and understand deletion or editing.)

    Zach Galifianakis leads off with a short and blazing set of one liners, that has Eddie laughing hard off stage.

    The set:
    1. Can’t Keep
    Ed jokes about Zach’s beard.
    2. Without You
    3. Trouble (Cat Stevens)
    Ed jokes about there being no noise complaints yet.
    4. Hide Your Love Away (Lennon-McCartney)
    5. Just Breathe
    Ed jokes about the Willie Nelson version, and does spot-on impersonation.
    Ed jokes about Zach being in Into the Wild.
    6. Far Behind
    Ed throws throws a pick into the audience and jokes about pretending he is at a rock show.
    7. Guaranteed
    Ed jokes about his daughter asking about the bear in Into the Wild.
    8. Picture in a Frame (Tom Waits)
    Ed jokes about a songwriting story involving Tim Robbins and ingestion of a gift from mother nature while listening to Pink Floyd.
    9. Wishlist
    While mandolin is being tuned by George*, Ed kills the audience with a Barry White impersonation.
    10. Unthought Known
    11. You Belong to Me (Rose & David), with Catherine Keener
    12. The Kids are Alright (The Who), with Adam Sandler
    13. Shattered (Rolling Stones), with Jeanne Tripplehorn singing as Julie Andrews (a highlight of the set)
    14. The New World (X), with Tim Robbins
    15. Golden State (John Doe), with Natalie Maines
    16. You Can Close Your Eyes (James Taylor), with Natalie Maines
    17. Hard Sun (kids come out and play along with the tambourines).

    *We had a nice talk with a very friendly George Webb before the show about the Wrigley Field cards, and the fact that his is hardest to obtain. Rumor is there were only 400 of his cards made.

    ** Eddie, Natalie and all others were incredibly gracious and friendly after the show.

    We are beyond thankful and appreciative for the opportunity we were given to support this important cause and attend this beautiful event.

    OT abit-- Whenever I see Jill and Eddie...they both really glow. I know that sounds corny, but there's such a respect there. They're like perfect legoblocks linked so well-- I can't help but see them as people well into the Hume Cronyn/Jessica Tandy years-- just the right people together for the right reasons, and Harper and Olivia have great parents who can inspire them to give of themselves as well as learn about the world through the eyes of those who don't have the same things they do. The whole family situations in Pearl Jam- watching Matt with his kids-- so cool. Just love that they respect the world through childrens' eyes. (that's all from my own personal cornyville) :oops: :arrow: :mrgreen:
