Wow I wish I had the money to bid, it would be great to have some art from the show and help the United Way. Eh, maybe I'll bid on the Manatee brochures.
DharmaChick
Wow, those paintings are going to rake in a lot of money!

Ooh, I just bid on the Hiro Yellow Pages. Oddly enough, I don't collect these kinds of things, but this really struck my fancy. I'm into katanas, and the ad which turned Hiro towards his destiny, too cool. I'm not sure how much I'll go up towards on this, but it's for a good cause, and would look real good on my wall.

(how could I get Masi to autograph this, I wonder?)

Man, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE those airline tickets...but I also love being able to pay my rent. sad.gif

WOW! Check out the results of the auction - one of the paintings went for almost 9 grand!

I really wanted to bid on the Hiro/Charlie airline tickets, but it went way out of my price range - $839.00 was the winning bid.

That's cool though - they raised a lot of money for charity. They should do that again sometime with more stuff. smile.gif
