There will be a silent auction of items donated by the band, and of course, lots of pre-show merriment with fellow fans!

More info and stuff on Facebook, if you like that sort of thing.

Should be a blast,  Great  peeps and cool band swag for the auction. All  for a great cause. I'll be there for sure.

I'm there, too.  Thanks to Tater and ALady for setting this up!
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

Nice job guys!   Wish I could be there.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

ALady

We wish you could too!

Thanks for posting, Crispy! Should be a great time...can't wait to see what the band is donating for the auction!

I just want to know who is taking my phone bids?  And pretending to laugh at my horrible jokes?

Thanks for organizing this! It looks like Monks is a short walk to the Chicago Theater. It's gonna be a blast!  Do people know what time the auction ends?

Hi MMJ612! We've got the bar booked until 8, but will probably close out the auction around 7 so that people will have plenty of time to get to the show. I walked it yesterday - it's about 6 minutes to the theater!

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to spending some time with MMJ family.

UPDATE!

We've just learned that the silent auction items will include an event poster and a copy of The Waterfall on vinyl, both autographed by the band! Much more to come...
