Isn't it the same as the Stones do?...
But with price set by highest bidder and proceeds to a charity...

"But with price set by highest bidder and proceeds to a charity..." thats the bit you gotta remember......

I can go to a cemetary for free. ; )

... you mean those FanAsylum deals on the Licks tour? some of those included a backstage tour,
but did any of them include a meet & greet situation?

i thought that's what the Stones do nowadays. Isn't it?

i had the impression that the meet & greet things are for corporate sponsors, contest winners and the like,
not something you can (normally) buy. i didn't study all the ABB FanAsylum deals that closely,
since i can't afford them, but i'm pretty sure they didn't routinely include meet & greet scenarios.

I also don't think they included meet and greet. But last autumn, a few of those corporate employees etc. did sell their meet and greet slots on e-bay. I seem to remember one that went for over $4000.

... leading fans (fans!) to assume the Stones themselves are making a fortune on it.
that's great. thanks, my dear Beast. care for some popcorn?

In fact, after one recent show, I saw Ron and Mick in the lobby after the show, selling a t-shirt they'd designed.

sssoul, I hope I'm not taking you out of context

did it have those loony-looking fans on it, from Ronnie's recent painting?

I think I saw a painting like you mean...
Perhaps R. Wood was going through his Cubist Month.

i'm afraid it's what we really look like to him.

from just the ebay advert it's hard to tell; that foundation IS a reputable charity and it might be a special consideration that they were given in this regard...i dunno...i don't see where they are offering 'meets and greets' per se, to fans...not from this charity offering as written on ebay anyway...they might do 'em, but this looks like a special offering from the band to the charity.

The TJ Martell Foundation is 100% legit. I believe the person who started it is an old time NYC DJ from the WNEW days?

During Christmas time, they action off autographed guitars and other musical memorabilia over the radio in NYC. They've been doing this for numerous years.

$15,000 without KEITH MOON!? I don't think so!!

If i had a million dollars..
i'd give it to that charity
to spend a day with
the stones.
