David and his band will be performing at his buddy NY MET PLAYER, DAVID WRIGHT'S FOUNDATION CHARITY GALA

11/12
NYC - HARD ROCK CAFE TIMES SQUARE

GO TO WWW.DAVIDWRIGHTFOUNDATION.COM FOR INFO AND TIX SALES (WHEN THEY START)

I have heard general admission will be $150 with dinner buffet, and then higher price points for VIP ROOM, and PICTURE with the DAVIDS....no tables, not stuffy, room to DANCE!!

We gotta go

I have already reached out to a couple of my NJ Amigas so all of us who are going we should try to get tables together. November 12 is a Wednesday night.

I wanna go and my husband is being poopy! Anybody else need to ditch their spouse and hang at Hard Rock for the night?

Annette, i 'm just hearin about this - we gotta get a table!!

Does THIS news ever brighten up an otherwise depressing last day of the tour!!

So is everyone going??

Allison

I want to go BADLY!!! They are my own personal D2.

Was anyone able to find a link to sign up for updates from this foundation? Just so we are ready to pounce (ooh, that sounds like a cougar phrase, forget it!) so we are ready to purchase tickets ASA they are available?!

Oh and THANKS for posting this!



And for me, husband being poopy is just not an option.....!

OMG! How fun would that be? How much MORE are we talking though for VIP?

I think my husband will definitely be poopy, especially on a Wednesday night, AND the money...plus I don't have the money to stay over in NY and wouldn't want to leave really late to go home...oh I just don't know...what to do, what to do...

Spoke to my friend that works for David Wright Foundation.

They are working on putting a link on so a blast can go out as soon as tix go on sale, until check back everyday for link or info!

I would definitely be interested in joining any of the ladies going, please keep me in the loop. The people around me are not really Cookie fans (though, for those who watched, he was their favorite on AI) - let me tell you its lonely being the sole Word Nerd in unCookified surroundings!

NYCFORCOOK, does your contact at the organization have any idea yet how much the tickets will be going for?

I am told that General Admission w/Dinner buffet (no tables, David Wright doesn't like stuffy, he wants people to rock) will be $150. VIP room (Cookie might be in there before he gets ready to play) $500

YES!




I would consider sharing a room with someone, I won't be able to go back that night either.




Yikes, that is too much for me, but I'd be willing to go for the $150 general
Can you give us some idea of how many people will be attending? Wanted to get an idea of what size crowd we would be dealing with. Thanks for any info!

It is a benefit so I will certainly will be checking out the website for additional information.

Kind of offtopic but David Wright just hit a two run homer. GO METS!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I need to go but, $150? Dear Heaven!( *sings* i tried my best!!!!) I'm a poor college student... but i really want to go

Money isn't my worst problem, my worst problem is vicinity. I'm saving money right now to be able to go to a solo concert.

Kinda OT, but I wonder if anyone has a guess as whether or not his solo tour tickets will cost more or less than the AI tour tickets?

This is an opportunity too good to miss - just trying to figure out my logistics and work sched etc. I chose not to go to the Idols tour, wanting to wait for his solo, but this, just ahead of the album release is incredibly exciting! I have never paid $150 to see ANYONE- - - but it is for a good cause, too.

(BTW - thx for the contact - I don't know the mechanics to reciprocate - where/ how do I do that?)

Jayelgee - let's just keep in touch and be on the lookout for when the tickets are available on the davidwright.com website.
I think I have your marked as a Friend.

I'm in as long as my witchy-boss will give me the time off. $150 isn't bad.

Tix will be on sale at www.davidwrightfoundation.com

if u go to davidwright.com, on the bottom - first on left push and it directs you to the foundation page.

Cool thing:

All money used is to help Kids

Next project the gala will be raising money for is a DO THE WRIGHT THING LIBRARY where kids can check out game boys, ipods, cd/dvd players, games and movies to watch when they are bedwritten waiting for transplants, etc. and other cancer treatment as well as to watch during chemo treatment....the Davids are awesome

Thank you for the additional information

I would love to go! Please let me know! Annette, AC/DC?

I would love to go, but vicinity is my issue. I'm in upstate NY....when do the tix go on sale? How will the event go? I read that it starts at 6 pm and goes until 11 pm. I wonder what time DC will be performing. If I go, I may not be able to get there until the middle of the event. What to do!!

i am defiantely going! i already told my mom, and she took work off! i will be checking the davidwrightfoundation website to see when tix go on sale! im so excited! anything to see DC and help a good cause!

Holy crap, that's almost as much as my rent!

There's no way I can go, but I hope those of you who are lucky enough to actually make the event, please have mercy on us unfortunate one - Pics., videos and recaps are a must. I know if you all get together and go, you'll have a blast for a worthy cause. I'm rooting for you to get great big bear hugs from the man himself.

$ not my prob really either--but that is a long haul from Rockford/Chicago IL area!!! We will indeed need vids and recaps and etc...!!!!!! My $ w/b going for the solo career now too--tickets to shows, magazines, CDs, etc, etc...

And I think the tickets w/b about the same as AI initially--as he gets BIGGER (and he will) then they will go up SUBSTANTIALLY!

Joyce, I saw this yesterday and marked my calendar!

Great to see DC return the gesture from David Wright!

I wouldn't miss it! Maybe we can see some acoustic DC this time!!!

I'm curious about how many songs he will play...

Looks like I will be requesting some more days off tomorrow. I so cannot afford this man...but I must go. Really wish there was a way I could do VIP but defintely too rich for my blood.

I can't wait to see you ladies there!!! Can't wait to see DAVID there.

good news is this is 1 week prior to the album release so maybe he will sing some from the new album. Because this a benefit he may choice songs that are appropriate.
Doesn't matter how many songs - the important thing is that he will be there.

Ooooh! I would LOVE to go! I could swing the $150 for sure. Just gotta make sure I know when tix go on sale!

I will definitely be keeping my eye on this!

Yes!

Thats the problem when we live in GA----we are nowhere near anything.....I hope he plans on making appearances in Atlanta or somewhere close by.....as for the solo tour we definately need to make plans to go together if he comes to Atlanta....

My hubby won't want to go, not an issue, I'm going with my Jersey Amigas! If he decides to be poopy about it, I'll just have to remind him about how much money he's going to spend on getting his seat license at Giants Stadium, or when he goes to Monmouth or AC with his buddies

I did send a note to the Foundation this morning to see when the ticket information will be available on the DavidWrightFoundation.com website.

I also let them know that there is a group of folks coming from NJ/NY and other areas and we are looking forward to attending this event in support of the Library project and also we are thrilled that Mr. Cook will be their guest.

I am awaiting a response back.

...Annette

the JERSEY AMIGAS ROCK!!!.....Rachel & i can be at the hard rock by 5:30!!!

I may work until 12N or take the day as a vacation day.

Joyce, Allison: I am going to take the train from Raritan so we'll talk. There is a 2:49P out of Raritan that gets into New York Penn Station at 4:18P. I think we should shoot for that one.

Count me in at the Hard Rock!! without the hubby of course! (Who would want 'em there anyway?!)

Dana

Sounds like its shaping up to be a nice size group of us there!

I know! It's going to be loads of fun!

The train I would take gets me there at 4:21.

So Mary - we get in the same time (2 minutes or so before) so we can meet and then get down to the Hard Rock.

Hi, Jersey/NY girls!

It looks like I'll actually be in NJ for this event (YAY!) , so I'll be there, too! I'll be taking a bus from Freehold to the Port Authority and meeting a friend there. Then we'll head over to the Hard Rock Cafe where, hopefully, I'll be able to meet you all in person, at long last! So, count me and my friend in!

Looks like another road trip for us!!

I've never been to NYC Hard Rock-is it large? Meaning will there be a limit on how many people could attend this?

Assuming there will be many many sports people there, is this going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. Not being part of the beautiful people that will more than likely be there, are we going to have to scramble for tickets?

Here's the link to the Hard Rock Cafe in NY. Lots of information, pictures, and a video tour.

I am seriously thinking about going to this. I've seen pics from past events and it looks like fun....plus, it's for a great cause...

Now I just need to get the days off from work...lol....

I was at the HardRock in NY years ago - I think this is the new Hard Rock Cafe. I am sure that there will be alot of people but I am sure that the place could handle it.




Allison: hopefully I am going to get a response back from the foundation soon. I sent them an email today. In the meantime we are going to just keep checking the davidwrightfoundation.org website. I am sure that they are getting there large sponsorships, ect together and add'l info will be available soon.
