From the home page:

A few friends of Kim Warnick have put together this online auction to help raise money for the medically challenged rockstar. Kim's rock and roll resume includes playing in the legendary Fastbacks as well as Visqueen. Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam was kind enough to donate one of his guitars to auction off for Kim. Included in the guitar case is a handwritten two page letter from Eddie that explains the history of the guitar as well as his memories of touring with Kim. Also in this package are two signed Pearl Jam posters and an original black & white print of Eddie and Kim from their '98 tour, signed by photographer Charles Peterson. Bid now to benefit Kim Warnick and take home a piece of Rock history today.

Bid on this ultimate Pearl Jam package at charitybuzz.com

    can't imagine how high this will go for, and for a great cause, rock on eddie.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    wow looks amazing. I wish I could afford it! Maybe then I'll finally learn to play some music for myself or something!

    I love that poster too - Pearl Jam - sponsored by no-one. Very cool.

    I didn't hear that Kim was ill. Hope she's ok. Saw the Fastbacks open for PJ back in '95. Put on a good show!

    this is gonna go for a shitload.


    and rightfully so. It's a GREAT package, much better than any single poster for completist collectors, also a great cause. Kim is a fountain of rockn'roll in the shape of a woman, and deserves a long, happy life.

    Wow, what a friend he is! Wish it was a left handed guitar, maybe then I could justify it!
    I wonder if there's another way to help Kim with her Medical bills and such.
    I would donate money for that. Or if tenclub donated part of our membership fee!
    cheers, T

    I normally don't go in for rock memorabilia, but fuck me, I would pay a fortune to buy that.

    Alas, a fortune I do not have.
    Hey hey it's okay...

    The photo is actually from Europe in 96. That is the tour that Charles Peterson photographed. During Porch in 96 is when Ed would burn the cork, and then rub it all over his eyes to make then black, just like in the picture.

    i know that some people on here may also be fans of kim and interested in helping out but can't afford the thousands that the guitar package will cost. here's some advice on how you can help:

    If you want to write a check directly to Kim and send it to this address:
    Amy Dials
    1716 Boylston Ave #105
    seattle 98122
    Also, we are going to auction a bunch of really awesome Show Posters that Jeff Kleinsmith donated on Ebay.
