Another lil' guitar from Janet Weiss:
Janet Weiss' creation features what appears to be a psychedelic apple tree, and bears the word "Jick," the letters appearing in little red apples, across the front. It's also initialed by Steve Malkmus (Pavement/The Jicks).
Sam Coombs' little guitar:
Quasi's Sam Coombs made a slightly more conservative guitar (wow, the words Quasi and conservative should never be in the same sentence), also very sweet.
Carson Ellis/Decemberists mini guitar:
Carson Ellis inked a mermaid onto this otherwise innocent looking, Decemberists-autographed guitar, which is also of the adorably small (23") variety.
Dandy Warhols gift pack:
The Dandies get a lot of shit for...well, for being the Dandies, but it's pretty awesome that they contributed this little package. A t-shirt, maracas and a harmonica used by the band (you make the herpes joke, i'm on a tight schedule here).
National artists:
I don't know how Buckman even got ahold of Lyle Lovett (Lord knows I've been trying for years...you know, for a...a benefit), but they did it. Lyle and Guy Clarke donated this autographed full-sized git-box (top). The members of Bon Jovi chipped in with a full-sized acoustic of their own (bottom). Pretty rad.
Live Auction:
If these Ebay items are too rich for your blood, there's also going to be a live auction April 27 at the melody ballroom. Organizers promise concert tickets, musicians' donated items, art and "lots more for both kids and grown-ups will also be up for bidding." Only in Portland!
Here's the official press release for the event:
