this is where the auctions come into play, my friend.
I'm gonna win the day in the studio and make the most fucked up record any of you have ever heard.

there is no way for me to attend, but it sounds great. thumbs up to everyone involved.

Heather, people have suggested this before but maybe some enterprising soul could set up a Paypal account so those of us on distant shores who can't attend can register our support?

Absolutely. Set up a paypal.

i AM going to try to hook up a paypal account! thanks for the idea!
