So who made it out there? Details please! Any word on a potential show tonight? Rumors even?
I went. No show rumors that I heard. The place was packed! Matt, the owner of Easy Street, said it was the most people they'd ever had crammed into the store! They did a non-perishable food drive where if you brought 5 or more items, you got a free PJ tote and a raffle ticket. They raffled off a bunch of stuff (including a Benaroya vinyl and a few of The Fixer singles on orange vinyl that had everyone drooling), played the new album about 40 minutes to midnight, and then had the album on sale in a variety of formats at midnight. It was great! Met lots of fans and had lots of fun!
Oh yeah, no appearances from any of the guys in the band but Matt told everyone that Ed did a drive-by on his way home from rehearsals and later sent him a nice message saying he was there in spirit.

Yeah I was there too. It was so fucking hot and packed in there, but met a lot of great fans. Seemed as though everyone was more pumped to win one of the orange vinyls than the Benny vinyl. Good times, though.
(For anyone who was there, I was the tall guy in the orange PJ Berlin tshirt.)
