Well, things came down to the wire late yesterday afternoon, but everything worked out well in the end,...

I'm proud/excited to post that Ed has personally donated a SIGNED poster for TONIGHT'S pre-party auction to benefit the White Ribbon Campaign. Ed signed the poster sold at Toronto I with a silver sharpie and the signature is BRILLIANT! The poster was signed at 6:45pm yesterday at Massey Hall and was then handed to me so I can assure you it has been handled VERY carefully. For those attending tonight's pre-party, get there EARLY and make sure to place your bid for the BEAUTIFUL poster to help a VERY worthwhile cause!

:D

The poster was auctioned at $300 dollars! The winner was Noah L. from Hoboken, NJ. :)

We raised $925 dollars for the White Ribbon Campaign. Nick Rodrigue - Director Of Development was there early on hand. There will be pics up on http://www.whiteribbon.ca/. We can't thank you enough. Was proud & honored to have them as our beneficiary, and accepted their official pin. Kinda was in tears. I love helping other's out as much as I can. It's in my blood.

Thank you so much Ed. And thank you for an amazing experience in Montreal & Toronto.
Till the next one friend. I miss you already. :(

    it was amazing. still got tons of white ribbons & buttons. will be including them with the next freebie/trade/b+p packages in the day's ahead.

    Nick Rodrigue is a great guy. at the elephant & castle I meet a sweet waitress who was doing a project for the white ribbon. i support the cause 100%. the feeling of helping out feels so good.

    Damn! He actually donated something for the Wishlist auction??? I love that. Remember his comments about Wishlist raising money by "selling tshirts and beer" in LA???? Damn funny that joker :-P

    Ed was more than happy and willing to donate the signed poster after i mentioned the Wishlist pre-party auction to him and explained who the beneficiary was :)

    someday i hope to get something signed by the man or even get a chance to talk to him. there's something personal i have to tell him. something from the heart.

    hope that day comes ...
