The Analog Grownup Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Estimated value: $3,500.00 Current bid: $20,000.00 Damn right! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsterfurious Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I read this before I went to work, right after I had applied my makeup and now I'm just a crying, puffy-eyed mess. I feel like such an idiot but this was a big dream for me, not just to meet Geddy and Alex but I really really LOVE wine and wanted to have this experience. This was my #1 dream. When they did this in 2009 the donation per head was like $1,500.00. I figured it would adjust for inflation and I'd need like $2,000 and then I'd use my air miles to get to Toronto and just stay in a mid-range hotel and then maybe bid on an item at the silent auction they have at the vineyard once you get there. I'm so so so so so sad. But I guess that's probably what they don't want, to turn it into a fan event; high prices keep the riff-raff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was willing to give my money and time away to support the cause and get a little smoosh of a hug from Geddy and Alex and die happy. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they're doing it this way because last time they had to contend with too many people, and the choice was to do it this way or not do it.

I have a kidney for sale if anybody is interested. I just need to be able to have it yanked out at least six weeks before this event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddysgal13 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I just saw this and went to bid. Then I realized what the bid was. Geez. Gangster, if I had the money I'd take u with me. Even if there was a way we could each pay half. I don't even have half of the half it would take. Somehow this seems unfair as some really rich person gets to write this off as a tax donation so they don't have to pay all the bid. Maybe we should just show up!! Train ride with Geddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsterfurious Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Lorraine, it's for the Grapes Under Pressure event, which I was saving up money for. Previously it cost about $1,500 a head and then there was a silent auction. Now you have to bid and it's at over $20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
