melanie,i think its time to start comprimising a bit...hes not going to the show for his own personal happiness,its just to capture the night on videotape..stop being so tight..let him have some fun...

Hey All,

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a food drive at this show to benefit The Worcester County Food Bank.

PLEASE bring a non-perishable food item or two to help those in need.

SHS will have a prize for the largest donor and CD\'s for random donors from a drawing of all donors...

Help us help others. If you\'re coming, please bring something. Tell a friend who\'s coming, etc... Spread the word and spread the love!

Peace, Donald

Sorry about the multiple postings. We got a very late start on promoting this because of some miscommunications... I was just trying to cover the bases and don\'t really have a feel for where most fans get their information, etc...

We are shooting for 100,000 this year. We more than tripled our 2003 donations in 2004 and almost tripled our best year ever.

We\'ve hooked up with Wormtown Trading to do food drives at ALL of their events this year as well as having started SHS satellite groups in 4 bands\' fanbases where they are organizing their own food drives with our help and are courting several more fanbases looking for interested fans.

We also have or are about to place permanent dropoff boxes in a number of clubs where people can drop food donations anytime...

We have some promotional ideas for the festival season too which will vastly increase our ability to raise donations and will be working with several high profile bands and performers in 2005.

Yeah we think we can do 100,00 items! Why not shoot for the moon? Even if we come up way short of that goal, we will still have helped so many people in need and impacted some very needy food banks and shelters!

Peace, Donald

i dont mind participating in a food drive.i do mind reading about it in every **** thread..any questions?

I\'m sorry, but this whole combined thread is absolutely hilarious.

just remember to each his own is fair indeed.
