The Timmy Palmieri Fund

[Jim Cobb]

1) Get a decent insurance plan. I can\'t believe Tim and the guys don\'t have one for their equipment.
2) Don\'t leave thousands of dollars of equipment in a van in a parking lot for 3 days. I know it sounds bad, but I don\'t blame someone for stealing his stuff. He left it out in the open when he should have unloaded it and left it at a friend\'s house.

i think i gotta agree with kate here.  doesnt need to stop us from trying to help though.

vending the puppethouse lot seems to be the logical direction

hold on a second folks,how can anyone not be sympathetic towards a friend getting his shit robbed.
i know he left the van in a commuter lot for 3 days,but that ceratinly dosent give anyone the right to take his stuff.i clearly remember the first day he got that telecaster.blues cafe was the show and the dude was stoked about it.over the years the sentimental value alone would upset the schnot outta me.we gotta hook timmy up.
throwing money in the tiptruck is something that we do anyway.also,the same 20 dudes from here are at basically every timmytour show.what about the folks who dont come down to the shows?i
im gonna call ms.greenberg and see if she has a ser shot or 2 of tpalms that he could autograph,well frame it and raffle it off at the puppethouse shows.

Absolutely...I\'ll be the first one to mail a check to Tim for as much as I can spare and do promo for Midwest shows.

[Spacey]

Wah -

That is what I am talking about. A couple of ser shots and autographed sell tickets for 10 bucks, do 1 each night, and we can make some money for him. I think this is a great idea. Also, because Puppet House is BYOB (isn\'t it?), people won\'t have to spend a ton of money on beers thus leaving a few dollars left in their pockets to buy tickets.

[freddiewaht]

i was thinkin about a dollar or 2 a ticket.
some folks will spend 10 or more,but some folks probably wont even have 10 to their name.
maybe a timmy shot or 2(the rockstar jump shot would be ser),and a full band shot or 2.

can we get anything else to beef up this raffle

[Spacey]

I see your point.

def. dollar ticket, then people can buy more. for some reason I was thinking only 1 ticket per person but that really doesn\'t work.

$1/ticket and then someone who is feeling ambitious can spend all their money on it. Good thinking. Would the band call the winner before the encore?

[Rujah]

$1 a tix is a good idea, 1 tix per person sort of defeats the purpose.  oh and whose got my heady grilled cheese?

as far as those of us who are unable to attend timmytour what can we do?

although i do feel for tim the fact that this has happen more than once its kind of difficult for me to lend out cash to someone I barely know given the fact hes the frontman of my fav. band, and without his top equipemnt the whole band may be affected.

i have a hard enough time scrapping enough cash to get to breakfast shows let alone heading down to CT for at least one tp show, especially since i make very little at my job. the best i think i can do is promote the band by giving out free samplers of hte breakfast at those shows I work at as well as those I attend.  

however with that being said. the first time it happened should of been enough for me to make sure I had all of my equipment insuranced as well as locked in a safe place.


god bless tim, ron, adrian, jordan i sure hope something like this never happens again.

[Ant-Man]

If I was working, had the money on hand, the ticket price was a buck, I\'d hand ya 20....

[kyndkate]

I see your point.

Sounds good to me, even though I probably wouldn\'t be there.

kate, if you want i can just buy raffle tickets for you at the show. if you were planning on sending a check anyway at least have a chance to win the raffle if it ends up happening.

[kyndkate]

Hmmmm.....good idea, Chris. I\'ll send a check made out to you that you can cash and buy my raffle tickets with. I trust you enough not to pocket the cash
