Y'know Barb, I'm all for people letting their freak flag fly but the whole "Bid on Neko Case's corset" unsettles me somewhat.

Granted, there's even a donation aspect ("I bought it only for good!") but still...

Can anyone convince me this isn't creepy?

N - I had 9 windows opened, as well. I got an email from S. In Milwaukee who had 12 opened at that time. Multi-tasking at it's finest, I say!




Yeah, Julia, it IS creepy, even for charity.
