Update 7/20/12:
Great news! I am happy to announce that the DeLuna Fest's Wishlist party will be hosted at Crabs We Got 'Em at 1pm on Saturday September 22nd.  PJ plays Friday night so this will technically be an after party.  I'll apologize to the folks who are following PJ to Atlanta and will not be able to make it. I'm hoping you guys will come hang out at the after party at Flounder's Chowder House immediately following Pearl Jam's performance.  Crabs We Got 'Em is literally on the same beach as the show and is potentially even going to be included as a part of the festival grounds.  We have the run of the second floor (The Sunset Deck) from which we can even see the stages of the festival.  

Update 6/29/12:
I'm pleased to announce that Wishlist has approved Pathway Caring for Children as the beneficiary for any funds we raise at the party.  Pathway specializes in treatment-oriented care for children who have suffered from neglect, abuse or abandonment.  This is a great organization that I have a personal connection to and feel passionate about.  We'll raise money at the event in three ways:

1. Raffle - We will sell raffle tickets to win prizes like these.
2. T-Shirts and other items available for a donation.
3. Cash donations if you chose to make one (not required)

Please know that there is zero obligation to donate and there will be no pressure at the party.  It's all about having a great time and meeting more of the Pearl Jam family.

If you have any Pearl Jam merchandise, used or new, that you can contribute to the raffle, please email me and let me know.  Check out what's been donated so far.

UPDATE 6/24/12:

The Wishlist Foundation:

I'm proud to announce that The Porch has teamed up with The Wishlist Foundation for the Pre Party!  I'll be announcing the charity that we will be benefiting shortly but I'm pretty excited to be able to work with a great organization like Wishlist, which is also 100% Pearl Jam Fan operated.  What this means for the party is that we'll have raffles and prizes etc. to add to our good times with good people.  It's a great opportunity for us to help out a charity in the spirit of the band!

Support the cause with Merch (Donations):
It also means I'm on the hunt for raffle items!  If you have anything cool you'd like to donate it will certainly be appreciated.  Any Pearl Jam merch that you'd be willing to part with or even buy new and donate would be awesome.  Needless to say, anything autographed would likely be a huge hit (if you can bring yourself to part with it).  If you're able to put anything in the mix please contact me at pjfan@ymail.com to facilitate.

Location:
Still working on it.

Date/Time:
Will be announced shortly after DeLuna announces the show schedule.

Pearl Jam's second of only three shows in the U.S. this year is in Pensacola Florida and the entire staff of The Porch (yes, that's right, me, myself, and I) will all be there.  I'm extremely excited and was hoping to have the chance to meet some of my friends from here on the inter webs.  Right now I'm just trying to gather Email addresses of interested people.  We already have a small group going and I'd love to grow it.  I'll send out an Email as the event gets closer with the where and when and will also update this page.  If you're interested, please Email me at pjfan@ymail.com. Or you can always find me on Twitter @ComeToThePorch.  If you give me your Email you can rest assured that you will absolutely NEVER be spammed from me, I hate that stuff.  If you have ideas for the event I'm all ears as well.  Look forward to seeing you!  Rock on!
