Lake Lanier, GAWhat’s on my CD besides Bruce!
I keep Bruce on my computer at all times, but I’m still waiting for someone to figure out why I listen to what I do besides Bruce. There has to be some kind of explantion.
Pearl Jam
Collective Soul
Blue Merle
Steely Dan
Pat MethaneySomeone try to figure out this mix. Can someone connect the dots for me. There has got to be a common denominator with these and Bruce.

Lake LanierHey Guys! I wanted to give the Bruce Nation an update. We have almost 35K raised! Please e-mail me at mailto:dpday@aol.com if you want to be a donor. We are getting closer! Please read the previous posts for more information. The grand ole man is still willing to match you dollar for dollar to become a donor and be a part of the Bruce Nation.

Lake Lanier, GAGood news! It looks like Bruce is putting together a tour. This would be an excellent time to book a private show if we are going to do it. We would need to book it in the general area where he it touring. We have $25K from true Bruce fans who would like to book it. We probably need to at least double that figure to make it happen. I’ve been contacted by call him “the grand olde man” that would be willing to be a major donor to make it happen. If we can raise just $15K more, he would be willing to match it. This show, if Bruce is willing, would be limited to just donors and guest of donors. True Bruce fans. If you are interested, please e-mail me at mailto:dpday@aol.com. Think about it. Bruce in an intimate setting with just The Bruce Nation!

Lake Lanier, GAHi Erin!
Thanks for your post!
To answer your question it would happen at a place and time that would be convienent to Bruce. Probably someplace in an area where he has the band and equipement. I know from booking concerts for several years at University of Georgia, you get the best deal when the band is in the general vacinity. I and most of the donors would like to keep it small and inimate. I hope you want to be a part of the Bruce Nation!

Lake Lanier, GAAnyone interested in a private show update
I wanted to give an update to all who are donors. We’ve reached a plateau of $30K US. We need more before we can move forward. If you want this to happen, and it can, please send me an e-mail to mailto:dpday@aol.com.
I want to keep it if possible to 250-500 people. That includes donors & guests. I know that there is a large donor who wants this as much as me and you. Please e-mail me. Would anyone be a large donor if I could find someone who would match your contribution?
It can happen!

One last passing thought (for now).
We can do it ❗ We really can ❗
Keep those e-mails coming!

I’m sorry but I realized I answered Munnamunshi’s post incorrectly. I was in between appointments today and was too hasty in my response. Munnamunshi please forgive me. I thought you were questioning my accountability which does bring up another question that needs to be answered.
First of all, anyone that wants to be a patron needs to e-mail me their commitment. My e-mail address is [url]mailto:dpday@aol.com. I need your e-mail address and will not share it with anyone (I promise) if you promise not to share mine with anyone.
When it is time to cut a check, it will be made to SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, GA, not to me, and held in trust. I will provide more details when we have enough patrons. An attorney, not me, will be responsible for disbursing funds.
Munnamunshi, again please forgive me for answering your post incorrectely. Please send me an e-mail and I’d be more than happy to add you to the “Bruce Nation” of patrons for a private show!
Merry Christmas to all and may the New Year bring you peace & happiness!

Of course it includes me. So far, there is only one patron higher than me. I do practice what I preach and willing to do more to make it happen if needed. I feel it would be neat to have a show with nothing but “true fans” in an intimate venue. I’ve been following Bruce since the late 80’s and this would be an excellent “grand finale” for me. But, as I said before, I’m not going to do it all by myself. It would not be complete unless the “Bruce Nation” was there!
Merry Christmas and please let there peace on earth ❗

mailto:dpday@aol.comI wanted to give everyone an update. I have several true Bruce fans who have stepped up the the plate to the tune of 25K! 😆 😆
We can do it! Please keep those e-mails coming! It would be nice to have one more patron at 10K, 2 at 5k, 10 at 1K, 10 at 500 and 20 & 250.
Si and I have traded several e-mails and I will tell you the same that I’ve told him. You 250 patrons would receive the same amount of tics as the 10K patrons. Call it “spread the wealth” if you would.
To answer some of your questions: The show would be held where it would be convenient for Bruce to help keep cost down and to fit his schedule. The Noisemakers hopefully should be included depending on cost and number of patrons. Si would receive the same amount of tics as patrons for all he does for us.
I’m serious! It can happen! 😆 😆 😆
Merry Christmas to all and on earth peace and good will!

mailto:dpday@aol.comI’m still serious about this! Any of you having Bruce withdrawals?
In fact, I would be willing to pay more than my share. I need 49 other people who would be willing to make this happen. Let me know!David Day

I don’t mind if Bruce makes some money on this. If Bruce wants to give it to charity, that’s his option. It really wouldn’t take that many “true fans”.
Like I said before, I would be willing to pay my share and probably more. Since the summer tour is over, I’m going to post this subject under General Chat.

Now what are we going to do since the tour is over? I’m serious about a “true fan” show. We can do it! It would only take a few of us to do it!
Private Show!
Todd, you are probably pretty close to what it would take to book a private show. I use to book shows for the University of Georgia. Had a pretty large budget. The “contract” which includes things like catering, piano tuner, venue, security and “extras” would probably bring it to $40K to $50k.
Like I said before, I would pay my part. It would be one of those “once in a lifetime” things that you would remember forever. It would be worth every penny! Think about it, a private show with Bruce playing all your requests in an intimate atmosphere.
Atlanta show your support! Come support Sonny June 10. It’s a good cause! This will probably never happen again! Anyone interested in a private show?
