Every pint of this that you drink will be a donation to the Stevesie's adoption fund!

if there is a $1 donation, im guessing you will have approximately $1,000 from me alone.

I have a procedural question for this event. Will I have to post up my wife and boys at Tanners across the way in order to pop in for a little while at this event or will minors be allowed in since it's in the afternoon?

I'm sure they would have no problem with it since the owner brings his kid to work sometimes

I am not going to be there, but please start a thread for the silent auction so that my agent can bid or anything I want. TIA

This would be great since I will need something to occupy my time while at the fOOD.

That escalated quickly. It was going to be equally expensive to ship anything, so I sent more than I planned as weight didn't matter. 2 jumbo dungeness crabs, a dozen oysters and a pound of fresh salmon will be delivered to roidhead friday. The guys there said he should put everything that's in their box into the fridge right away and until Saturday and then make it look nice in an ice'd cooler to get it through the event. Kept refrigerated or cooler'd, the crabs and oysters will then be good through the following midweek, while the salmon will be vacuum-pack'd and can be fridge'd for a couple months or frozen for a year. Of course, the crabs and oysters will be cleaned, cooked and ready to be eaten right there as soon as somebody wins them.

If there won't be anybody to compete with Gooch to get the whole thing up to at least $200, maybe split it up into separate items however seems right so that this will have made more sense than me just giving stevesie money.

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #134 on:** February 20, 2015, 08:22:59 PM »

it might be worth it to split the salmon out for a second auction item. Either way, I plan on trying to hang with Gooch for a little bit. I can't get the image of crushing oysters at the bar while screaming for Stevesie to take his shirt off out of my head.

The salmon might not look that impressive though compared to the rest, as it'll be in plastic and not an option to eat right there. I'm sure you guys can figure it out. Bring some extra styrofoam coolers and ice in case you do split it all up.

you only need to know three words one, more and button.

$200 is already the opening bid for this.

We'd be just barely in the black with this; if there'd be a chance of getting more action overall, split it up with starting bids of like $120 on the crabs and $40 each on the oysters and salmon.

With recent developments, I don't know if we will be able to attend now or not. However, I do have a couple of items I could send with Gooch to put in the auction if anyone has interest in them. I have a signed Denis Clemente 8 x 10 and a mini ball signed by Frank and the one and only Luis Colon.

I would love those items, however I think it'd be better for Fatty Fest. We just got a bunch of items today and yesterday so I feel good with where we're at.

OK. I will save them for FF. If everything works out, I still hope to be able to drop in and see everyone for a little bit.

Unfortunately, if it gets as shitty as they say it will we will not make the trip to MHK.

I will still silent auction my ass off on Twitter if someone does that again though.

I am sorry but I cannot condone Gooch bidding on anything that has to be consumed on site since I won't be there.
