Time’s running out….

 

Have you been waiting until our silent auctions are almost over to place your bid?  Well… that time would be now.

The auction for our Gibson Les Paul Future Tribute ends Friday, right as White Dynomite hit the stage.

If you’re at the Middle East Upstairs and you’re the winner, you can take that guitar home with you right away!

 

Need a day in the studio? You have until Saturday at noon to bid on our studio time options!

Need 5 days somewhere sunny? You have until Saturday at noon to bid on our 5 day/4 night Cancun vacation!

Romantic dinner cruise and a night at the Sheraton Boston more your style? Saturday at noon is the end of the line!

 

Don’t forget: you can opt to purchase any item using the “Buy Now” feature. 100% of the funds raised in these auctions will go directly to the National MS Society!

 

Unless you can travel backwards in time, you’re running out of it! Bid or buy before your chance passes!

stop looking at me like that.

Getting excited for Friday!!!

Maybe you heard that Petty Morals are up for a couple of Boston Music Awards. Maybe you want to get a head start on your Halloween trip by asking Tsunami of Sound to play the Munsters theme song.  Maybe you saw My Own Worst Enemy in the pages of Magnet.  Maybe you stalk the members of Gymnasium (face it- we’re onto you.  You’re stalking Rod right now, aren’t you?). You know they’ll all be at the Midway on Friday night, right?

That’s not enough for you? Maybe you need to win things. Things like tickets for the NY Skyride.  A Shake Shack gift certificate (which you can use at the one that makes your favorite french fries). A Store 54 gift certificate that you may think twice about redeeming, because it’s such a cool certificate. Photography by Pete Weiss. A gift certificate from Capital Genealogy to check out your dad’s claim that you’re descendants of the Queen of England. Tickets for two for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum that don’t expire.  An ArtsEmerson membership, including two tickets to any event for free.  More of a sports fan?  Try your luck at winning a Boston Bruins puck signed by  Zdeno Chára!

Feeling more like an auction? We’ve got that, too.
