Given To Cast/PJ20 video cast promo

Hey guys,

I put together a promo for our video cast that we are planning to do at PJ20 Weekend Destination shows. Check it out below and let everyone that can't be there to check us out Labor Day weekend to see some interviews on the fly with tons on PJ fans from around the globe.

Where are sitting you for PJ20 shows and which day?

Got me seating assignments from the Ten Club yesterday:

Hello MARIO,

This is your official Ten Club email notifying you that you have been randomly selected for Reserve Seats under the pavilion for Saturday, September 3rd. This means you will have General Admission Lawn tickets for Sunday, September 4th, so please dress accordingly accordingly.

Thanks for your PJ20 Destination Weekend order for Reserve/GA tickets.

We'll see you at the show!

10c


Ok, the next question is, who wants to trade their Sunday night show ticket for mine....really...who wants to trade???

10C Ticket Packages are SOLD OUT

Looks like the rest of the tickets SOLD OUT for 10 Clubbers.... I hope you all got yours. I did, but I am not gloating.

8:35 pm cst - Latest ticket news..

05/24 - Alpine Ticket Onsale Update/Canada Pre-sale Postponement

ALPINE ONSALE UPDATE
Our IT brains are still working diligently to rectify the Alpine ticketing situation.
There are currently some people who already had items in their carts and who are able to continue the checkout process, very slowly.

Here’s what we’re going to do:

– Those who were already in the check-out process, stick with us and we’re going to try to process your order.
– Those who aren’t already, give it a rest tonight so we can get those who are officially in the middle of the check-out process checked out and work on the site.
– We are going to close the store tonight to ANY NEW TICKET ORDERS in order to work on the system for tomorrow.
– At 8am PT tomorrow morning, we will post on the Ten Club “news” section information regarding when the Alpine ticket sale will resume.
– If it’s still not working at 8am PT, we will say that.
– If it’s working at 8am PT, we’ll provide a time for when the onsale will resume, which be AT LEAST TWO HOURS later, so that everyone has time to prepare.
–The good news is, there are PLENTY of tickets still available.

CANADA ON-SALE POSTPONED TO WEDNESDAY
Due to the problems surrounding today’s Alpine pre-sale, the Ten Club is going to postpone the Canada Pre-sale to
Wednesday May 25th (during the same hours as previously scheduled) to help ensure all systems are up and running smoothly.

Once again, we’re really sorry this happened and will do everything we can to fix it as soon as possible.

Goods Section is down for now.... Updated May 23 @ 8:50pcst

I don't have my tickets yet but I hope I will... Keep trying!!!

The store is temporarily offline. We will have it up again shortly. Thank you for your patience.

If you are interested in pre sale ticket information please click here

UPDATE!!!! I got my link to finally work at the 7 hour and 40 minute mark.... well worth it though...

PJ20 Festival announcement this upcoming week

Seems like that "birdie" showed up again on the Ten Club forum yesterday. Here's what he said....

Tweet (gasp) Tweet

The little birdie fluttered and landed with great force on our picnic blanket.

"Where have you been and what's with the backpack?" we inquired.

"I've been so busy making plans, trying to get everything ready for a special weekend. And do you know how hard it is to fly with a pack on my back?" the birdie said.

"Ah…a special destination weekend perhaps?" we said.

The little birdie exclaimed, "Well, of course! Have you been living in a valley? Just make sure your memberships are up to date by midnight Sunday (Pacific Time) or you'll be sorry."

"Ok, little birdie, thank you for the heads-up. We appreciate it. Where are you going next, birdie?" we said.

"To the great white North!”

So what does this mean???? Well, here's what I think...

1. It's a "special weekend" so at least two days...

2. "Have you been living in a valley?" - "Valley" referring to Alpine Valley, perhaps??

3. Where was he headed..."to the Great White North" which means Canada. It tells me that they will do some shows in Canada first before doing the festival. Looks like there may be some shows in August then.

Did you get the same things outta this message that I did???!!!

More importantly.... does everyone have a travel buddy????

Getting ready for PJ20 Festival...are you?

Hello, Jammers,

Just wanted to update you on how things are going. I have my ear to the ground and trying to confirm what all my sources on when and where the PJ 20 festival will be. The majority of people I am speaking with and what is churning in the Rumor Mill, is that it'll be happening Labor Day Weekend (Sat. and Sun.)in East Troy, WI at Alpine Valley Amphitheater. So I have taken the liberty to book rooms for that weekend in a nearby town, just in case. My airfare will not be purchased until I know for sure. And tickets will be bought when Ten Club sells them.

On the podcast side, I have decided that doing a VIDEO cast from the event may be possible through my phone but I will have to do some tests and see if it's the way to go. The software I want to use will allow me to post a live stream on my blog site and Facebook page. If I don't think it will work, I will go back to the live podcast.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please email them or send me a message thru Facebook page and I will look them over and see if they are something we can add to the experience.
