    The winning bidder will get a tambourine to play on stage with the band during one song of the FTM set, which they will get to keep along with a guitar Mike signs and plays during sound check :)

    Hell of a package! :)

    haha to be honest with you I'd feel like a total dork standing up there with a tambourine, it'd be cooler to play guitar or something. But if I played my guitar I might mess up out of nervousness and feel really embarassed, hmmm....

    That package is pretty awesome, tho, meeting McCready would be AMAZING! And TWO signed SDE? Sweet!
    I can't wait to go next year if the bastard who made it 21+ makes it all ages next year.

    Well you can't really mess up a tambourine too much, so even with a case of nerves the winner will be able to "play" fairly well :mrgreen:

    Well the Silver VIP's start at $250 and that gets you in the door, a goodie bag, food/drink, soundcheck. With the Gold VIP (at $500) you get to go backstage and get a meet-n-greet w/Mike & random FTM'ers, photographed by a professional photographer, signed poster & guitar picks. Platinum starts at $1,000 and you get a signed guitar, signed setlist, guitar picks, signed poster, meet-n-greet and photos w/photographer, hotel, etc.

    Here's some photos of past events, you can see that Mike mingles and hangs :)

    I know the donation amount is factor for most people, but the money is going to two great organizations and we also provide a tax receipt for your records :)

    Thats cool. And I like that the money goes to those charities rather than the band members, very nice of Mike.

    In 5 years when im 21 maybe i'll bid on a package. If they are still doing it by then of course :evil:
    Who took those pictures? Someone is gonna have to take some pics for me this year since I can't go.

    Yeah, this year and last year the CCFA donation was specifically designated for Camp Oasis for kids w/Crohn's disease and Advocacy for Patients.

    The photos were either taken by myself, a few of the VIPs or our professional photographer Anna Knowlden. There will be tons of photos from this year and we'll be posting them up on our Photobucket and various networking sites :)
