Hey All
Just wanted to add, Rogues Radio is pleased to be supporting this awesome event again! In the auction you can bid again for the DJ of your choice to do a 2 hour set, where YOU get to choose the music for the show and the DJ HAS to play it.......even if it's Muse 
Bids are already coming in, we have a bid for $50 dollars so far, but there's still time to get a bid in if you want to steal it back! 
On a more personal note, the second of those pictures, I recognise almost all of those bears and outfits as they are from the company I work for in the dreaded RL! Where these paid for by the charity drive?? If so, that's awesome work
We built this city on Rock and Roll!

A Build-A-Bear rep, eh? The people who put together that tree are big fans of the store. They even got a Build-A-Bear passport filled with stamps as they went to stores around the world for the rest of the bears.|

To answer your question: The bears were paid for by the person who donated the tree to Festival Of Trees.
The person who in turn purchased the tree was a personal friend and so, at my request, they listed the buyer as Real World Hero to support me supporting this charity event, too.

Yes, I had noticed that |

I spend all my days helping to make these bears hence me recognising so many of them! (Really not helping my Rock God image here, am I )Nice to see them going to such good homes though.

Ooh! He wasn't supposed to start playing his Level-a-Thon toon until 6pm PST (9pm EST) today! Am I correct in guessing that you are his sponsor?|

Question, Mr W:
The character I'm levelling in the Level-A-Thon is on Exalted, but I'd prefer the money/credit go to Justice (it's just I need a filming toon on Exalted). Is that viable?

Less than two hours! Time for your last-minute bids
The 2011 RWH Auction has ended!
Total Bids: $2276.97
Total Bids: $2276.97
Thank you to all of the bidders! Congratulations to all of the winners! Of course, you are all winners to us! If you haven't won your bid, consider sponsoring someone in the Level-a-Thon?
Positron's keyboard went for $50.01 -and- Zwillinger's hat went for $51.01. I think it was the faulty 'M' key that helped put Zwill's hat over the top.
We've still got a few more weeks of the charity drive to go! Keep being awesome!

I blame my ISP.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Congratulations to everyone who got their bid!
While I didn't get any of my first choices 
, I did snag one of Tunnel Rat's sketches. Score!
Forgive a momentary rant, but...
Hey! Who outbid me for "Gnomes and Cannon - Original Sketch by Keetsie" at the very last second?!? That was going to be my dad's Christmas gift. 
You better enjoy it at least as much as he would have.

I'll tell him that. He thought it was 6am (then again, he's legally blind so.....)

Hey Mr Wentworth, any chance we can get a list of who won what at all? I have NO idea who won the Rogues Radio set or what DJ they want!
All I know is how much they paid. ($150!!!)

BTW, Congrats to Coin on winning the one-on-one tutorial time with Samuraiko.

And congratulations to you, Texas Justice, for snagging Zwillinger's hat! As long as I couldn't get it, i'm glad it was won by someone who appreciates significant headgear.

Yup, saw that now |

I have Skype twice, my own and one for Rogues Radio as well.
Send me a PM with the relevant details and we can sort things out from there.
