[UPDATE: i have decided to add prizes - EVERYONE who makes a donation of $5 or more will receive a prize from me, not just the three big winners described below. so everyone make sure i have your address, new donors and old donors as well.

THANK YOU to those generous ones amongst you - as of now, everyone will be tangibly rewarded for their largesse, and everyone has a decent chance of winning a bigger prize too...

howdy everyone,

a friend of mine has been dealing with multiple sclerosis for about a decade now, which as you may know is a very nasty neurological disease with all kinds of symptoms and problems spread out across all parts of the body. there's currently no cure for MS, and in most cases it's a progressive disease in which the symptoms will worsen over time.

the national MS society hosts fundraising bike rides in all fifty states, and i have been doing the wyoming ride for the last couple of years. the idea is that people donate money to help motivate me to finish the 150-odd mile ride. it helps me to think about donors after like 10 hours when my ass and many many other parts feel terrible.

so on to the fun stuff...

1st prize



ten super deluxe box set, which has been opened and played a few times, but is still in excellent condition. everything is here, including drop in the park, the unplugged dvd, and all the wonderous ephemera. (bicycle not included)

2nd prize



EV poster from the 6/22/11 NYC show and tour program (thanks to dimitris)

3rd prize



any bootleg CD available from the goods section.

shipping is on me to anywhere on this blue ball we all live on. (except for the poster/program, which will come directly from dimitris.)

to enter, just visit my bike MS page at

http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/COCBikeEvents?px=2134107&pg=personal&fr_id=16917

and make a donation. every multiple of $5 will entitle you to one chance. a $5 donation puts your name in the hat (OK, bike helmet) once, a $25 donation puts your name in there 5 times, and so forth. just be sure to PM me when you donate and let me know who you are.

all money raised will go to support MS research, and to help out people living with MS.

the ride happens on august 20 and 21, so all donations should be in by then. i will draw for winners as soon after the ride as i can move my arms again and mail stuff - early the week of 8/22. (technically you can still get your name in the helmet right up until then, since the MS society accepts ride donations for a month or so after the ride.)

so, please PLEASE help me out in helping my friend jason out. and win some cool stuff.

bumps also appreciated - and interesting bicycle-related stories too...

let me know if there are questions...and good luck and thanks...
