Setlist raffle for charity

So every once in a while I come up with an idea, and occasionally that idea seems good to me. I have just such an idea at this point.

With everyone raising money for Haiti and Pearl Jam's history of charitable contributions, I thought why not hold a raffle. The proceeds from the raffle would go to the Haitian recovery effort. And the prize from the raffle would be this: the winner would get to choose a setlist for a show. This show would be identified as the "Ten Club for Haiti," or something of that sort. And the winner would also get tickets to that show (2-4?).

The winner would pick around 30 songs from a list given by the band (unfortunately, some requests are unreasonable, although I'd be interested to see them try and work out Foxymophandlemama).

I understand that there should be no incentive necessary for giving to those in need, but it just seems like this would be fun and a win-win for all involved. And I'd love to see how much us PJ fans would raise via something like this.

    It could work, but I think that would be a real pain in the ass for the band. What if you get some idiot that wants them to play all of Binaural or something :lol: Maybe just tickets on the side of the stage?

    I think raffling off trips inside the PJ warehouse would be more coveted. But maybe that should be a 10C contest. Kind of like a run through the warehouse game.
    Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.... (Voltaire)

    I would like to run in the warehouse! Good idea!

    I do think that the winner would get a list from the band of what they're willing to play, so if they don't want to play all of Binaural they don't have to.
