Ok, here's an idea - let me know if you're up for it.
When HDR get's it's copies of Synchestra for sale I'll buy a copy but you don't ship it to me.
Instead you get Dev, the DTB, the other members of SYL and whoever feels like chipping in (including yourself of course !) to sign it then stick it on eBay at a later point after bigging it up on the various sites.
Whatever money you make you donate to a charity of your own choice.
I'm doing this during next year with a few artists I'm fans of - just a way of giving back and all that worthy shit. Everybody wins, no losers.
As I say, let me know if the idea is a goer......

Cheers - my first love is always music so it's just a good way to wrap it all up in one hit.
Let's just hope Tracey & Dev go for the idea !

Would "Help Biert Survice The Cold Days" be concidered charity?

I think you may be overestimating the value. I'd guess not more than $30.
Omer had the idea to auction off autographed limited edition prints and it only went for $23 or something like that.

I agree, the desire for signed SYL/DTB memorabilia isnt really high. It sucks, but SYL/DTB isnt up there in popularity yet, and the only people who would be spending money on something like that would be us
Now if it was something signed by Ozzy or Maiden, or Pantera, then it may be worth a lot on ebay. People eat that shit up, but there isnt much of a niche for selling autographed SYL merch.

What about we buy a CD, they keep it, sign it, put it on eBay and THEY keep the money. That seems like a pretty good charity to me.
