Can't decide how much I will bid for one of the auctioned pieces. I fear they will be going for a LOT of money. Do want one.
-
Will there be a place to make donations for those who either do not desire or cannot afford to bid?
-
If you'd like to contribute to Slim outside of these auctions, his old friend Dan Baird has set up a FundRazr account that accepts donations on his behalf.

Does Tommy Keene still have a career? Saw him early 80's because I wanted to see the opener and he was truely awful. Figured he was just some bad DC act that would shortly never be heard from again.

I think he is still awfull but some people love him... he was at the 930 Club 30th Anniversary show.. also guested with Bob Pollard the last time Bob played a solo show at the 930..
he is just awful..i wonder if he's celebrated because he is a hometown area boy or something

I was watching "this is 40" the other day and I thought of you Kosmo. Do you like Graham Parker?

Sure do, still listening to the new record he did the Rumour and wish I had seen their recent tour. For a bunch of old dudes, they still rock hard.

i figured you would like them. Main character in the movie signs them to his label. So they perform in movie.

Saw them at Rams Head - they were great. I think the new album holds up too.
And I'm also a Tommy Keene fan.

clearly nkotb is living up to his name, as he repeats info already posted in this thread by MOI.

AH, sorry...read your post that it was possibly coming out commercially and it was now confirmed. Also, eat it, old man.

sorta like you posting the BMRC show in JA for a second time? ;D

One really shouldn't poke the user with the word Administrator under their name.. and besides clearly Serpent Boy and myself had just got the same email from the band, as they were posted within about a minute.

It has begun (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_okw=&_oexkw=&_adv=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200&_fpos=&_fsct=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_fss=1&_fsradio=%26LH_SpecificSeller%3D1&_saslop=1&_sasl=Newwestauction&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50). One copy going up every three minutes through tonight.
-
I'm so glad to see how well they are selling.... whoever has organized this whole thing has put a lot of thought into it...
-
#1 is already up to $10,000. That's awesome.
No way I can bid high enough for one. I can't see any of them going for less than $500 at this rate.
-
I think most will go for way less than 500...just wait til the end to put in any bids..
if they wanted to really maximize money they should have done an album with individual hand made covers by chris mars! can you imagine?
but this is well done and i'm proud of westerberg and stinson. paul in particular sometimes comes off so jaded ....
-
Already bid on one. See how it goes.
I wish the Mars print were bigger. Should have used the whole thing for the album cover. I think it's great.
I'm admittedly a little leery about the tunes. Hope Paul doesn't sound bored on them.
-
The one I bid on went for $403. It's great that Slim is going to get a lot of money out of this. Won't be any coming from me at that price, though.
