Alright, What's In It For Me?

As I type this, there's $295 pledged for the American Cancer Society. I'm eternally grateful to everyone who has pledged.

However, a lot of you haven't. You're not going to burn in hell or anything, but you do want to know one simple thing:

"What do I get out of it? You're going to type whether I pledge or not."

That's accurate. But, because I'm a giving person, I'm going to let you in on a little secret... there's pledge incentives coming. I'll 'splain.

The person who pledges the highest single amount today will get to program a whole hour of DAMradio on Friday, August 26. This podcast, though highly illegal, is heard and adored worldwide by stockbrokers in New York, tour guides in Australia, and US Army personnel stationed in Iraq. It's your big chance to inflict your musical tastes on the world.

We also have three one-of-a-kind items to offer up, and these are excellent:

• 4:30 pm EDT: A Girls Gone Wild gift bag, personalized by GGW founder / millionaire playboy Joe Francis and other entertainers
• 6:30 pm EDT: An original piece of art from Yirmumah! creators DJ Coffman and Bob McDeavitt
• 8:30 pm EDT: A "free pass" at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada (as seen on HBO's award-winning series 'Cathouse'), courtesy of Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof

Here's how this will work:

Starting at the times listed above, bidders will send an e-mail to blogathon@devinandmarty.com with the amount they would like to bid on the item. Each item has a minimum bid of $100, and each item is worth far more than that. No bids will be accepted in advance of the start time, and bidding will only last one hour.

At the halfway mark, I'll post an update on the bidding. If you want the item, send in your best bid. Don't wait around to "snipe" the item, since it won't work that way. Meh.

Spread the word today -- if you know someone who would like any of the items listed, call them. E-mail them. Do it NOW.

No one ever said charity ever had to be polite.
