Today I recieved a copy of the 2005 calendar in the mail. And on the image of the Tori painting that I did, Tori signed "To David, With Love, Tori Amos".
Which was a very nice way to start my day!
I hope you get the 2005 calendar. It is an even better calendar than last years. |
Yeah, it's really great. See for yourself here: http://www.rainn.org/calendar.html
And here's my little story:
I saw the announcement for the calendar way back in March or April. They had a little discount for early orders, so I ordered one right there and then. And while I was at it, I ordered a t-shirt with it.
When I put up my order I noticed that the cost for shipping and handling was only $ 5. That's way too low for sending it all the way over to germany, but I thought the RAINN people would get back to me with the real costs. But they didn't.
A few weeks later I get a package. T-Shirt, but no calendar. A quick check at the RAINN site tells me that the calendars wont be shipped until August (note: always read the fine print ).
Cost of shipping for first package: $ 14.
Early September I get the second package: The calendar.
Cost of shipping: $ 7.55.
So RAINN paid $ 21.55 just for shipping the stuff to me, whereas I only paid $ 5.00. That really contradicts the whole "merchandise-for-collecting-money" thing, right ?
Right. So I sent them another donation for $ 25.00.
Last week I got the usual "thank you" letter with the keychain thing you get for a $ 25.00 donation. They sent it to denmark, but I got it anyway.
This week, I got another "thank you" letter (with keychain), with "denmark" crossed out and replaced with "germany".
End of story (for now ...) _________________

Well, as far as music stars go, I don't know if I can top Bendis' Bush experience.
But I once danced with Chile from TLC at a club in Atlanta.  |

I don't have scans of them handy, but maybe David Thornton (AKA davidmackguide.com) can post scans of both Tori paintings I did for the calendars.
And I'll ask Anh if she can take a pic or scan of the personalized calendar image if she has time.
Both calendars are very cool. The new 2005 is I think a better designed calendar. And Bill Sienkiewicz did a painting for it this time too. |

I donated the original painting for the 2005 calendar to be auctioned at a RAINN benifit concert earlier this year.
(see the letters collumn in Kabuki #1 for more details).
The RAINN organizer told me that someone from Tori's family bought my Tori painting for her before the auction.  |

Yeah, the Sienkiewicz painting is freakin' AMAZING.
One of the highlights of the Big Apple Con back in April (besides meeting
Anh and Mack and getting a beautiful Echo sketch, of course!) was meeting
Sienkiewicz and seeing that painting in person.
Mitch Itkowitz has the original for sale at graphiccollectibles.com,
for a mere...Five Thousand Dollars.

Tori Amos is the only celebrity I get nerdy over... She's the only reason I'll ever buy a music magazine. I am jealous of you, Mack...  _________________
