Summary
RundgrenRadio.com: You guys and gals know we have thrown over a dozen parties for Todd fans including 6 over the last 8 Labor Day weekends. Each party has been special in its own unique way and this one will be no different if it happens.
Rather than take a risk like in the past, we are doing this IndieGoGo campaign instead to make sure we have enough interest. We know there are challenges with all of the things Todd has been doing this year including his August camp (sold out), the cruise, and the SOHF Notre Dame event with TR in September so if the interest isn't there we understand. However, we have had way too many requests by fans to not make a run at a party this year.
Your contributions will help us achieve our goal of throwing one hell of a party in 2016. We have several bands lined up for you and other fun activities planned. IF WE DO NOT HIT THE GOAL YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL BE REFUNDED 100%. If we exceed it, we will add even more cool things into the mix!
Dates would be 9/2, 9/3, and 9/4. We'd like to have a band(s) the night of 9/2 to start things up right. Bands on 9/3 and 9/4 too as well as the Maurice excursion.
