Mike & Friends Lobby State Legislators

Pearl Jam star lobbies state legislators for restroom access

By BRIAN SLODYSKO - Associated Press Writer

As the lead guitarist for Seattle rock band Pearl Jam, Mike McCready has toured the world, won a Grammy and performed with the Rolling Stones.

But as McCready knows, there are some things fame can't get you. And sometimes, that means getting to a restroom in time.

McCready suffers from Crohn's disease, a painful gastrointestinal disorder that can make finding restrooms an extremely urgent and embarrassing task. On Thursday, he asked Washington state lawmakers to mandate emergency access to businesses' private restrooms for sufferers of Crohn's and related disorders.

Wishlist Fan Photo Project

Hello all!

The Wishlist Foundation is working on a project (code name: “T1”) for our Gift Gallery that will include a collage of fan photos, and we’re looking for your help!

We would like to get about 100-200 photos of Pearl Jam fans.

If you are interested, we are looking for a high resolution, clear, non-blurry close up of yourself. The photo must be in .jpg format and ONLY of you, as this project will be published. So make sure you choose a photo of yourself that you like, as many people will see it!

Once you’ve chosen your photo, please follow this procedure:

-   Attach your photo in an email and send it to info(at)wishlistfoundation.org

-   Title your email “FAN PHOTOS”

-   Include your Pit/RM name (this may be published, but not required to participate)

-   Include the waiver below and type out your full name (this will NOT be published nor given out to any third parties)

Wishlist Foundation has my permission to use my photograph in project T1, web pages and other promotional materials produced, used by and representing the Wishlist Foundation related to this project. I understand the circulation of the materials could be worldwide and that there will be no compensation to me for this use.

-   Include an email address and/or phone that you can be reached at (this will NOT be published or given out to any third parties)

Deadline is February 25th. We will use photos in order that they are received and if your photo doesn’t meet the criteria we may not use it.

If you have any questions, email info(at)wishlistfoundation.org
