Overdue, but pushing near 2,300

I'm going to keep it brief for now.

Here we go...
Thanks to Andy with the Sheryl Crow tour who donated not only picks from that tour, but a few from a previous tour with a band you may have heard from, Pearl jam. A total of seven picks from Andy:


Sean from Linkin Park donated 27 picks, making certain that he includes at least a full set of all picks being used on the 2008 Projekt Revolution tour:


Also donated were several four drumsticks from Linkin Park:

Dave and Lonnie with the current Chris Cornell tour (also on Projekt Revolution) donated a total of 27 picks of varying designs as well... Dee with The Bravery donated an ENTIRE BAG, totaling 101 picks. Thanks a ton Dee!
Sparky with Ashes Divide gave 29 picks:Elwood with the Black Crowes gave 16 picks for the fundraiser:
Monk and Henry, through an old friend, Stiney, with the Dave Matthews band crew donated five picks and a pair of Carter's drumsticks:
Through a friend of the cause, Craig Crosby, I was able to get picks from 10 Years and Hawthorne Heights as well as a four drumsticks from 10 years. I was not able to get the names of the actual donors, so if you are they, please drop me a line and I will give proper credit where it is due...
Finally, the SR Guitar tech from Kill Hannah donated 20 picks yesterday. With apologies to Mr Kill Hannah Guiter Tech, I neglected to write down your name right away and it got away from me. Please e-mail me (chwipicks@yahoo.com) and allow me to give you proper credit.

Thanks to everybody who has donated picks, sticks, swag and cash, you are all great people!
