24 days!

Can't wait to get the f*ck out of town. I walked outside singing present tense to see what all the banging at my neighbors house was, and this old couple just turned and stared at me as they continued walking. Yes, i have three heads! Dumb f*ckers.

I need a new computer, neighborhood, and house!

We are getting close! Starting to count down the days now!! I've updated the initial post with additional items that have been donated and RSVPs.

We've got two parties to cover so we are still in need of additional donations!! Anyone have an extra set list or two? Guitar picks? Posters that are just sitting in a tube? Please check under the bed and in the drawers.

Donations don't have to be Pearl Jam related. If you have contacts with a local business that you think may be interested in donating items, please let me know and we can help you reach out. We sincerely appreciate all the support we have already received. You guys rock!

I also want to share some recent comments from the Innocence Project of Texas. Nick Vilbas, the Executive Directory for the IPOT, recently posted on the Facebook event page and his comments are below.

"Hey Everybody, I am the Executive Director for the Innocence Project of Texas and I am extremely stoked for the event. I am a Pearl Jam fan from way back and IPOT is grateful to be included, we need all the help we can get in the fight for justice. I look forward to hanging out and meeting everyone that attends!"

Nick and the IPOT are super excited to be a part of this event. It takes a lot of money to do the work that they do and their work is not something that gets a lot constant attention. That lack of constant awareness to the number of people wrongly convicted and fighting for their freedom can make fundraising more difficult. We can make a difference!

Below are a links to a couple of cases that have received some recent publicity. Please check out their Facebook Page for current events.

Ok... I,m still keeping my super 8 on sat nite. Who wants to party with me down 4th street with the wine and arts festival still going on?!!!

[betterday52]

Ok... so now the countdown is for nov . Winter camp now begins. The hotel room is nonrefundable so who in Austin wants tl party!

[betterday52]

ok. well, i'm spending easter at my sister's house with a 7 year boy and a 3 year old girl, so i wore my blue Wave EV t-shirt anyway, cause i get to wear it in 5 months instead of three weeks, and my sister when i sat down at the restaurant said, oh, what's on your shirt? so yes, PJ merch is really cool graphics

Watching the kids on the driveway, the three old comes up twice to say play the LONG ROAD again on my Kindle Fire

So, I still carried on!

And maybe now we get to hear some new
PJ songs!

Peace,
Shannon Drop Love, not Bombs

Well this is a bummer.

I've spoken to The Local Pub and Patio and also got in touch with Nick from the IPOT. They understand these things happen and are more than ready to pick it back up later this Fall. The silver lining is that this gives us more time to secure donations and gives more folks another chance to make plans to attend.

Thank you to everyone! You guys have been super supportive and I can't wait till November!

BTW, the IPOT had a big day yesterday!! Check it out.
