Hey there peeps,
Everyone knows I'm having an Oz-related auction for AIDS Walk New York, right? Well, I'm doing that one forlv11baby, who is walking with her team from work.
But then, since I'm walking too (and wasn't actually going to sign up, since I was kinda just supportinglv11baby), I thought I really should sign up.
So I did. And I even made a fundraising page and stuff!
What does this mean for you, my Flist? Why, an SVU and Meloni-esque NYC-related second auction to raise money for me!!! Whoooooooooo! Go me!!!!!
Lookit what you'll get if you win!!!:
Like my other Oz auction, the proceeds will go to AIDS Walk New York (benefiting the Gay Men's Health Crisis), being held in New York City on May 20. (Click on the image below for more info).
THE RULES
1. I will list all the items in the auction here. I may add to the items if I find more cool stuff, but I will not remove anything. YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE ENTIRE LOT. That means one bid for EVERYTHING, not individual bids for specific items. If you win, you win EVERYTHING.
2. You will reply to this post with a bid. Obviously, if you're not serious about this whole thing, don't bid. Duh.
3. If you do not have an LJ account, that's fine, but you must include your e-mail with every bid here. Otherwise, it will be disregarded. Hear that people? So you can post anonymously as LONG AS YOU INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDY. If you do have an LJ account, just post normally. I'll find you.
4. If you don't live in the U.S., don't worry. You may bid -- however, and this is important -- you will bid in U.S. currency. It turns out you can donate to my Fundraising page from anywhere in the world as long as you have a credit card.
5. The auction will start as soon as this is live, which is Saturday, April 21.
The auction will end by midnight, EST (Eastern Standard Time in the US), on SUNDAY, MAY 6
The winner will be announced here on Monday, May 7
The winner must contact me via e-mail NO LATER THAN Saturday, May 12. If the winner does not contact me, the auction will go to the next closest bidder, but that's not going to happen, is it? Because all this is going to work out smoothly.
6. Where is the money going, you're wondering? I can guarantee your money will be used for the AIDS Walk only. I'm not running a scam here. I will give the winner complete instructions on how to do this -- it will be via the web (at the official AIDS Walk New York website and my Fundraising page) and it's best if you have a credit card.
7. If you win and don't have a credit card, you can donate by check. We'll work something out.
8. I will link to this post every day up until Sunday, May 6. Or, I'll try to anyway.
9. Please pay attention to bidders that come before you. You don't want to bid the same amount someone just did in the comment above you.
10. IMPORTANT -- DO NOT REPLY TO A PREVIOUS BIDDER. This is only common sense. Be sure to hit "Post a New Comment" when bidding. Make sure you reply directly to the post, and not another bidder. IF YOU DO it will be deleted. I'm not kidding. I'm trying to make this go as simply as possible, and making extra work for me is bad, mmkay?
11. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me a question here:

Here come the items!!!!!!!
If you win, you will get ALL OF THE ITEMS I LIST BELOW, including:
+ As you saw from the first photo, I have another autographed photo of Meloni. Since I gave up mine forlv11baby, I had her give up hers! Ha! PLease note: This is from the Oz Season 6 signing back from September, 2006. This is not an SVU-related photo, it's from Oz. But it's the only other autograph I had, so there you go.
+ You get this official SVU "No Parking" placard that I *coff* cut down off a pole in New York City. I'm kinda excited about this one. I came up from the subway the other day, and guess what show was filming on the same block where my office is? That's right! As you can see from the pink placard (which is on stock similar to poster board) they were doing location shooting.
+ You'll get an official NYPD Department of Finance Parking Violation envelope. Hee. I might have swiped this from a car. It's just the envelope though! No ticket.
+ Like the other auction, you'll get a New York City Metro card (I'll even put 2 rides on it!) in case you ever want to come visit.
+ I know it's not in the first photo, but that's just because I left them in work. Hee. You'll get three (3) New York City branded condoms! How cool is that? Yay for safe sex!
+ You'll get this really neat unofficial NYPD Detective Bureau patch. The real ones are illegal to sell. I bought this myself, intending to iron it on to my SVU sweatshirt, but I think it's cooler for this auction.
+ You'll get this awesome handcuff keychain, from a friend of mine, Forbes, who works for the West Midlands Police in the UK. The cuffs actually open and work! He was generous enough to mail it to me for my auction. He also sent me a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar. Yay for me :-) You don't get the chocolate, though. That's mine.
+ You'll get an officially licensed NYPD coffee mug, which I need to photograph once I have a moment.
That's about it for now. If I find anything else I might add it on later.
So how about it, kids? Want to support my efforts to walk around Central Park on May 20 for the AIDS Walk New York? You can even donate to me without bidding if you want, through my Fundraising page, like my good friendsionnachair already did.
Bid on the entire lot of items, and let's start the bidding at $5!

sionnachair already did.Bid on the entire lot of items, and let's start the bidding at $5!
Anyway, to the point after the rant: If you have a paypal address you'd want me to use, I'd be happy to send you ten bucks that way to put toward your walk.
the end
*g*
Anyway, what you can do is to donate via check, directly to them. I'm going to e-mail you the address (since you also have to include my real name in there) where you can donate.
Thanks for going through this pain in the ass system to sponsor me! You rock.
