Re: Twangfest Auction
M M, what is the deadline? Bill Lavery marie arsenault wrote: The next Ebay? To raise money for Twangfest (in the spirit of all those PBS fundraisers), we're pulling together an internet auction. We plan to hold the auction during the first week of May. It will be run off the Twangfest web site. Details for that will follow. Right now we are trolling for donations. We already have a few very impressive items in the vault (items autographed by some pretty well-known artists, who also happen to be fictional future ex-husbands to a few P2 gals. g). For example, the Sovines are donating one of their snazzy tuxedo jackets (worn on the cover of their soon to be released cd) and a canned ham. Fear and Whiskey are donating a limited edition FW baseball cap designed by Kinky Friedman. Jerry Curry is donating that hideously ugly shirt that's been talked about so much on the Fluff list. Bill "The Sliver" Silvers is donating one of his purses. CK promises to give us a sweatpant leg hat. Maybe Shane will donate a case of fluff. Twangfest will donate one all access backstage pass and badge (Neal?). Alex promises to buy a round of shots for the highest bidder's favorite band. Get the picture? We need stuff. No item is too trivial or, well, stupid. We'd like to auction off P2 band cd/tapes, t-shirts, bumper stickers, general swag, etc. We'll probably auction them off in lots of 5 or so. If every P2 band could donate a cd and t-shirt or whatever, it would be a beautiful thing. The Twang Gods and Goddesses would surely smile down upon you. All you record labels, music stores, publications, etc. out there, I'm sure you can find something to give us. How about a gift certificate? So, if anyone has anything to offer, please contact us. Remember, we know your email addresses. If we don't hear from you, we'll come a callin'. This is going to be a lot of fun. We promise. Keep an eye open for updates.

Just a reminder. We are still accepting donations for the Twangfest Auction. We have some fabulous items ready for the auction block. We want more. Use your imagination. I'm sure each and every one of you can come up with something. People are donating everything from cherished items from their personal music collections to goods and services from their day jobs to magical coolers full of beer. We are open to *suggestions* or *requests* for donations as well. Now, if somebody is just dying to bid on a lock of Super-Ranger Mark Wyatt's hair, well, that can probably be arranged. Please send auction item(s ) by 4/16/99 to: Meshel Watkins or Marie Arsenault Twangfest Auction 1306 Shelton Ave Nashville, TN 37216 Please email us when the item is in the mail. Please include with the item, or in the email, info associated with it like 1) how much it is worth in dollar terms, if that applies you can deduct this as a donation on your taxes, we'll send you a receipt 2) what information you'd like listed on the web site at the auction -details, descriptions, etc 3) contact info - email, phone, address, etc. 4) suggestion for an opening bid, etc. Contact us with any questions, ideas, concerns, suggestions, whatever.

Twangfest Auction
Hey P2ers, we've already gotten some very cool offers of donations, some hilarious, some valuable, some that will curl your eyelashes, but we can always use MORE MORE MORE! so if you have something you'd be willing to donate to the cause, please contact us - a few folks have gone to their respective employers and gotten donations of some services and products that will probably fetch nicely on the auction block, so if you haven't thought along those lines yet, please do! Direct any questions or offers to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or just to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks again! We are looking to have received all the items and be working on the auction site by mid-April, with the Auction scheduled for the first part of May. meshel n'vegas
Re: Twangfest Auction - P2 stuff
Hey ya'll - I found a great old policemans shirt at the trift store Sat that has a P2 patch with two stripes on each sleeve. Hey, I can even emroider the name of the winner on the pocket! Can't promise, but I am asking some well known Memphis cats for stuff. Nancy (with way too much time and not enough gigs this week)
Re: Twangfest Auction
I think that's a great idea. I'll donate Drive-By Trucker CDs (the new one is in but hasn't been released). I have a collection of P2 friendly band t- shirts given to me by ex-boyfriends that were only worn once. (Hey, I'm house hunting and will be moving -- I need to clean out the closets). I also have lots of band photos from the days when someone was paying me to do photography. I'll go through them, see what's relevant -- see if I can get some autographed -- particularly the Emmylou photos (wonder who will bid on those g). You said early May? That will give me time to go through things, still buy a house, finish a book and keep my "day" job g I also have R.E.M. photos (mostly individual shots) taken on the Monster tour -- not twang but there might be a bidder out there somewhere and I could probably get those autographed if anyone was interested. Oh, and Marie -- I have some great Jim Lauderdale photos g Deb Sommer (trying to remember to sign my real name)
