bid now:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1197361&tab=mtou

all seats are 2nd row

note: Santa Barbara auction begins Friday 2/29 and includes front row seats.

Proceeds from auction packages will support legal defense efforts for
the West Memphis Three via the Damien Echols Legal Defense Fund. Damien
Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Miskelley (the WM3) have been in prison for
12 years for a crime they didn't commit. After years of waiting for the
chance to demonstrate their innocence, the West Memphis Three will finally
have hearings this Spring to introduce new DNA evidence proving they could
not have committed the crimes for which they were convicted. More info at:

    Wow....

    How many would bid on the one where you would chat with Eddie after the show?!!

    Can't beat that one... :D

    I am really happy to see him doing this to help out!

    And I love the idea of mailing out the poster instead of getting it at the show! Purrfect!

    Keep us posted on the funding raised from the concerts, including the auction tickets, sea!

    I hope folks who got the tickets and get to talk with eV after the show will come here... :D;)
    JA: Why do I get the Ticketmaster question?

    I'm sorry that I'm unable to participate in the auction but I hope it raises lots of money to right the horrible wrongs that have befallen these 3 men. Twelve years of their lives are gone due to a gross system of injustice. The situation needs to be over soon.
    Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.

    On the seating chart for most of these theaters the rows start w/AA.
    Is row B the actual 2nd row from the stage or ya gonna end up like 8 rows back?

    Can someone explain to me why the West Memphis 3 get so much attention? I mean I am some-what familiar with their story and I am not trying to make any kind of judgment whether or not they are guilty. But there has to be a ton of people in jail for crimes that they didn't commit so why is so much attention focused on these guys?

    Best of luck to all that are bidding! This really is quite the package. See Ed up close and personal AND donate $ to a great cause. What a sweet deal! I think what Ed has done and continues to do for the WM3 is truly amazing! I cannot praise his efforts enough. :)

    BTW~I totally agree Urs. Things are looking more hopeful than ever!! :D And being able to raise even more money and awareness like this just adds to that!
