Such expenses have been primarially eBay fees, but also include purchase of materials for the Summerfest collections and the picks I had made up for the fundraiser. I try to keep these expenses to a minimum, but they DO exist. I am keeping meticulous records and will gladly disclose them to anyone who requests them. That being said, I will continue with the eBay sales as they appear to be the most effective method of raising money for the Hospital.
Now to the good stuff. I will start with one of the cooler things that has been donated. At the Jack Johnson Show at Alpine Valley this summer, one of the opening acts, Money Mark, donated to me one of his personal laminate passes from Bonnaroo 2008.
Jack Johnson's tech, Boogie, donated several picks from Jack's stash. I do not know if these are stock picks or custom made for Jack, buth they are pretty cool.
I received a total of ten picks from Steve Vai's organization. eight from Steve Vai and two from Billy Sheehan:
One of my eBay buyers wanted to help by not only buying picks to raise money, but donating four picks from his personal collection, the two from the Misfits, I am told, were given to him by the band directly. Thank you very much for the support from the Holcombes
The boys in the Type O Negative pitched in with an eight pick donation:
Mick from the Hatebreed crew threw in for 19 picks:
Mr. and Mrs. Anonymous made another contribution of 11 picks, including four of the cool Willie Nelson picks (destined to raise a lot on eBay):
Finally, a fellow stagehand and friend, Jimbo, just passed on a donation of 18 picks from his personal collection. Here are a few...
Thank you to all who have donated during this past round. Words cannot say enough...you all are awesome!
